The first step is the deepest

The Pegasus 3 is a universal paramotoring wing for beginning and leisure pilots who want a confidence-inspiring wing that is also fun to fly, both with and without a motor.

The choice of a first wing could be the most important decision you ever take. The Pegasus 3 builds on the success of its predecessor, whilst offering some new refinements:

  • even easier inflation and take-off thanks to an exclusive new fabric developed by GIN and Myungjin
  • shorter riser for easier management and control
  • forgiving-yet-fun handling
  • advanced risers for easy big ears and stable accelerated flight

Take-offs can be nerve-racking, but not with the Pegasus 3. The risers are easy to sort on take-off, the wing comes up smoothly and cleanly, the lift-off comes early and over-enthusiastic control inputs are forgiven. Take-offs will quickly become an element of flight to enjoy rather than to fear!

Durable, yet light

A first wing like the Pegasus needs to be durable, as it will be groundhandled a lot. Yet lighter wings generally offer better slightly better inflation and take-off, besides being more compact. For this reason, GIN was motivated to develop a new PU-based composite coating fabric in partnership with Korean fabric manufacturer Myungjin. After years of development and over 2 years of field testing, this fabric has proved itself to offer the best of both worlds: durability and light weight.

For paramotor or free flight

The Pegasus 3 can be flown with or without motor. Powered pilots can gain a gentle introduction to the joys of free flight, and vice versa.

Designer notes

GIN test pilot Laurent Salinas explains the philosophy behind the Pegasus 2

"Your first wing is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. One of the biggest problems we see is beginners choosing to start with wings ‘to grow into’. Such wings are often too hot and the result can be broken props, scraped knees and worse.

Instead, when you start with the right wing, you will learn faster and be more safe in a wider variety of conditions.

We believe good take-off characteristics are the most important quality for a beginner wing. During the Pegasus 2 development, we spent a lot of time improving the inflation, making sure the wing comes up easy and straight in all conditions. We also made the take-off speed as low as possible, which means getting airborne is smooth and effortless.

We also aimed to make the Pegasus 2 a versatile wing that pilots could really have fun with. You can confidently fly the Pegasus 2 in midday thermals, both with and without a motor. The controls are responsive yet progressive – it’s never dull. The wing does whatever you ask it to, but at the same time, it’s still incredibly forgiving.

The Pegasus 2 is a ‘do everything’ wing that’s good for at least the first 2 seasons of your flying career, or even much longer.”
