MESCAL6: grows with your skills

Anyone who starts paragliding needs a very special wing: a glider that is particularly easy to handle and gives you a lot of confidence from the first moment. The MESCAL6 is just such a glider – and thanks to our revolutionary “AGILITY SYSTEM” it is also the first glider that grows with the skill of the pilot. This system allows you to adjust the brake line geometry individually to the pilot’s wishes in just a few simple steps, allowing you to refine your feeling for the paraglider and increase it step by step.

But our new entry-level glider inspires not only with its adaptive handling. Student pilots, weekend and leisure pilots get a glider that is completely stress-free from pre-launch preparations to after-landing packing. The MESCAL6 comes equipped with all the latest technologies, placing you at the cutting-edge right from the start!

HOW DOES THE MESCAL FLY?

With the AGILITY SYSTEM you can switch between the two brake line geometries “Comfort-Mode” and “Sport-Mode”. The MESCAL6 reacts differently to brake input:

In “Comfort-Mode” the MESCAL6 is the perfect flight school glider. The brakes accentuate the center of the wing: Brake input is directly applied and the canopy turns flatter – perfect for flights on training slopes and the first mountain flights. Student pilots can concentrate fully on the unknown medium of air.

In “Sport-Mode” the handling becomes more lively and agile. The brakes accentuate the outer wing: the glider banks higher, the control pressure in the effective range is lower and you can optimize your bank angle in every position while turning – experienced pilots fly high wingovers with ease. The conversion between the two modes takes only a few minutes and can easily be done by the pilot without any tools.

Like its predecessor, the MESCAL6 is based on a compact wing shape with an aspect ratio of 4.8 and 38 cells, which is optimal for this class of glider and provides the best flying characteristics. For easy handling, the clearly arranged line setup and the ergonomic risers are color-coded to facilitate pre-launch preparations and inflation in all wind conditions. For big ears, important in training, we have included markings on the split A-risers. Another useful detail is our “ERGO Handles”: The size-adjustable brake handles allow you to adjust them to your personal favorite position. The materials used are very robust and are forgiving if you let the canopy touch the ground.

The MESCAL6 comes equipped with all the latest technologies, placing you at the cutting-edge right from the start. All five sizes are certified in the LTF /EN A category – whether you are flying in “Comfort-” or “Sport-Mode”.

Features

AGILITY SYSTEM

Adaptive system that allows you to convert between two brake line geometries – “Comfort-Mode” and “Sport-Mode”.

JET FLAPS

Our JET FLAPS extend the green arc as you approach the stall point, which substantially increases safety and also improves climb performance.

3D-SHAPING

A precise calculation of the leading edge geometry and the installation of an additional strip of fabric reduce wrinkling in this sensitive part of the glider. Advantages: exact wing shape, more performance.

C-WIRES

C-wires are nylon wires sewn into the glider over the anchor points of the C-level lines. Advantages: better load distribution, reduced drag, more performance.

MINI RIBS

Doubling the number of cells at the trailing edge increases its shape stability substantially. Advantage: fewer vortices improve the aerodynamics and with it the performance.

SHARK NOSE

Together with a corresponding wing design, the shark nose technology improves pressure distribution in the canopy substantially. Advantages: much more solid flying feeling and substantial performance gain, especially when gliding on bar.

AuTOMATIC SAND RELEASE SYSTEM

Porous openings of the profile ribs at the trailing edge ensure that sand and dirt in the glider are automatically guided to the wingtip where they can trickle out. This helps preserve the material and “relieves” the trailing edge.

RIGID FOIL

The Rigid Foil nylon wires on the leading edge help maintain its shape and ensure constant ram air pressure. Advantages: better takeoff behavior, more performance and lower canopy weight.

FAQ

What is the AGILITY SYSTEM and what advantages does it offer me?

With the AGILITY SYSTEM you can easily switch between two brake line geometries. In “Comfort-Mode” the inner wing is more strongly articulated, while in “Sport-Mode” the outer wing is more strongly articulated. As a result, the glider reacts differently to brake input in each mode. In “Sport-Mode”, for example, brake input is converted into more bank angle, because the trailing edge generates about twice as much roll moment as the trailing edge in “Comfort-Mode”. The pilot can therefore learn to fly in comfort mode and refine his feeling for the glider by changing to sport mode without having to change to a new class of glider.

Reviews

"The MESCAL6 is an easy-handling wing with a calm nature and reassuring feeling. The design is modern and the build quality high, as to be expected from Skywalk Paragliders. The 'agility system' is an interesting selling point, allowing the owner add a more fun feeling to the handling if they wish, whilst remaining EN/LTF A certified. All in all, an excellent first wing for safety- and quality- conscious new pilots."

- Carlo Borsattino, Flybubble

"The MESCAL6 is a real game changer in training! Never before have I been able to tune a glider so perfectly to the skills of my flight students. Simply ingenious!"

- Martin Lehmann, Head of flight school, flight instructor
