Icarus and Daedalus, Leonardo da Vinci and many more have tried to let man fly like a bird for hundreds of years - more or less sucessfully.
Twenty years ago the inventionof the fist paraglider let this dream of mankind come true.
After two year of development for the F1RST (EN A und LZF 1) we've made this dream even easier, more perfect and beautiful for you.
Easy to start and easy to land it gives you security on the ground and while flying in reduced height. It's good-natured thermal profile helps you to get up even in the slightest updraft and makes this wind perfect for beginners and pleasure pilots. It will give you as much enjoyment in your education as while soaring or making your first long-distance flights.
One of the most important criteria in the development of the F1RST was the weight reduction of the gglider. The intelligent leight weight construction - using high-class exclusive material - of Firebird offers a weight reduction of up to 30 % regarding similar gliders of other manufacturers.
To meet our high quality standard also in serial production the F1RST is produced in one of the renowned workshops of the world.
Most modern production equipment and permanent quality controls ensure that the serial dispersion tends nearly to zero.
 | With the attractive and eye-catching design of the Firebird F1RST you'll feel like an eagle in the wind. |
