Marlin 2 is a small training wing designed specifically for ground handling practice. It helps beginner pilots learn paraglider control safely in stronger wind conditions. Because of its smaller surface area, the wing remains stable in gusty winds and allows students to practice launch techniques more effectively. The risers and rigging are similar to standard paragliders, helping trainees develop correct handling skills before moving to larger wings.
You are learning to fly as part of an organized group, but waiting for proper weather conditions can take a lot of time. With strong wind, controlling a standard paraglider is difficult and stressful. Marlin 2 solves this by being much smaller than a standard wing, yet behaves similarly and remains safe to launch in stronger conditions.
Due to its small area, Marlin 2 stays remarkably calm in thermal gusts, so trainees can practice launches safely even in winds up to 12 m/s. The effectivity of training launches is increased by up to 30%, depending on local weather conditions.
The aerofoil gives the wing a slight reflex behavior, so it has no tendency to overshoot while launching in strong winds. The risers and rigging are identical to real paragliders to help students develop proper habits. Proper concentration and input from the trainee are still required, preparing them quickly for larger paragliders.
