The Flex is single seat powered parachute available in either
a 3 or 4 wheel configuration, and two models the standard model will use
the single cylinder Hirth engine, while the Reflex will be built around
larger twin cylinder engines from Rotax and Hirth.
The StarFlex is a two seat tandem seating two place powered parachute
with a real "Indy Car" look. It is powered by the new Hirth 70 HP liquid
cooled engine, which Hirth has designed to mount right into a Rotax 582
motor mount bolt pattern. Joe indicates the engine is cheaper than a
comparable 582, gives better performance.
Para Ski has incorporated a set of lifting wings, on the front and rear
of the StarFlex which provides extra lift when flying. The four
point extra wide stance of the StarFlex gives it excellent ground
stability. Steering is via a set of handle bars on the ground and a set of
foot pedals in the air.
Two sizes of chutes are available, a storage compartment under the rear
seat allows easy storage of the chute when not flying, another compartment
under the front seat allows for storing, tools, maps, etc.
