Join us in this new Flybubble video, reviewing the AirDesign Volt 4 EN C 2-liner and comparing it with some other EN D paragliders we've tested in recent years. The AirDesign VOLT 4 is certified EN-C (and LTF-D) and is aimed at the same type of pilots as its predecessors, with a major innovation: it's a two-liner construction!
When testing wings, Carlo tries to fly them in a variety of conditions, at different points in the weight range and with different harnesses, to feel the differences. He varies his all-up weight by varying what he carries and the other gear e.g. the harness, reserve etc. For this review, Carlo tested the Volt 4 size M (88-103kg) at all-up weights ranging from 88-103kg i.e. the whole certified weight range, with the Advance IMPRESS 4, LIGHTNESS 3 and WEIGHTLESS. He mostly flew the Volt 4 M at around 96-102 kg all-up, with the LIGHTNESS 3 and IMPRESS 4. Depending on conditions, pilot preferences etc, he'd recommend flying the Volt 4 M from 90-103kg. As usual, in stronger conditions it's best flown heavier loaded, around 96-103kg all-up.
