![]() On the other hand modern powered gliders, excel in roll and pitch-jaw stability and offer a wide range of speed. On the plus side, hybrid gliders usually require shorter takeoff speed while offering slower landings. The new powerful free flight profiles are designed for maximum buoyancy which makes these profiles more sensitive to air movements flying against the wind and in turbulence. Hybrid gliders tend to be less stable in roll at higher loads, which actually may suit some pilots who prefer sporty handling and playfulness when flying close to the ground. And at higher loads, such as with a paramotor, hybrids can sometimes exhibit behavior which a motor pilot may not prefer. Hybrid gliders are primarily designed and tuned for free flight. ![]() On the other hand, if you consider the many possibilities and qualities of today's powered gliders, it is necessary for each pilot to define their own unique requirements for powered flying, while considering their economic priorities. If you want to own only one paraglider and flying with a paramotor is just a way to get in the air for you, then again a hybrid glider is the right choice. If you plan to spend 70% to free flying and 30% to powered flying, then a hybrid glider is the right choice. Is such a glider even suitable for powered flying? The answer is, yes, of course! Ideally, hybrid versions are for pilots who desire a combination wing for both free flying and powered paragliding.
