PowerPlay Sting

Specifically designed for motorized flying although its double hook-in riser system allows you to free fly it too. Perfect inflation in zero or light wind conditions. Wide speed range. Super solid. The ideal companion when purchasing a paramotor as it is the best seller motorglider in the market today.

With its very broad weight range and its two certifications (DULV/German Ultralight Association and DHV 1/1-2), the STING is designed for paramotor pilots who would also like to enjoy free flight without having to get a second wing.

The unique riser system (see illustration) means that the STING can be optimally fitted to any motor and no adjustment is necessary for free flight. The trimmer allows cruise speed to be increased to approx. 45 km/h and the counter-torque to be compensated without troublesome counter-braking.

The STING's launch behavior is very easy and it has excellent performance with high passive safety and pleasant handling for situations ranging from training to cross-country or distance flying.  So the STING is well-suited for beginners and safety-conscious social pilots who are looking for a reliable glider which will ensure that even nil-wind launches from the flat are not a nightmare.

The four certified sizes cover a take-off weight range from 80-250 kg which means that even tandem trike-flying is possible with the STING.

Price includes: glider itself, backpack, inner bag, risers bag, accelerator system, speedbar, trimmers, owner's manual and 3 year warranty.
