Paraglider Check
Paraglider Inspection & Service
Regular paraglider inspections and checks are essential for safe and reliable flying. Depending on the manufacturer and paraglider model, different check and trim intervals are recommended. Regardless of the standard 2-year check, experience has shown that lines in new paragliders settle during the first 40 to 60 flight hours. These lines should then be re-trimmed to ensure that the paraglider flies in optimal condition.
Porosity Test
Using a precise airflow measurement device, we test several points along the leading edge to determine how quickly air passes through the fabric. Even, healthy values indicate good material condition; low or highly inconsistent values indicate increased wear.
Visual Inspection
We inspect the top and bottom surfaces for small holes, abrasion, and hidden damage. Seams, line attachment points, and loops are checked. Under bright, even lighting, we examine the ribs, diagonal ribs, and the entire internal structure.
Line & Riser Inspection
Every line is visually and manually checked for damage or loose stitching. Risers are inspected for webbing wear, seam quality, and pulley function — lubrication is carried out if needed.
Line Strength Test
Your lines are your lifeline in the air. UV exposure and mechanical load can cause them to stretch, degrade, or weaken.
We measure the breaking strength of individual lines according to manufacturer guidelines. Any lines broken during testing are replaced and digitally measured.
Fabric Tear Strength
For visually worn wings, we assess the canopy’s tear resistance using a Bettsometer to determine whether the material can still withstand dynamic in-flight loads.
Written Report
You receive a detailed service report with all measurements, test results, and recommendations. If additional work is needed, we contact you beforehand.
Paraglider Line Trimming
Trim and Line Measurements
Correct paraglider trimming is essential for safety, launch behavior, and handling. At ParaWorx, we measure your paraglider using a precise laser measurement system. All lines are accurately measured from the risers to the canopy and compared with the manufacturer’s specifications. If deviations are found, the trim is professionally corrected to restore the correct angle of attack. This is crucial for stable flight behavior, good performance, and safe handling in all phases of flight. Incorrectly trimmed paragliders—especially those that have become too slow over time—can: have poorer launch characteristics exhibit unstable flight behavior and shortened control travel in extreme cases, become more prone to collapses or parachutal stall Regular trim checks and line measurements not only increase flight safety but also ensure that your paraglider flies again exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
Paraglider Repairs
Whether your wing has a small tear or a more substantial area of damage — we do our best to bring it back to a fully airworthy condition. From small patches to complete section replacements, every repair is carried out using the manufacturer-approved materials and proper techniques.
Before we begin any repair, we assess the damage and discuss the most suitable solutions with you — and provide a fair, transparent quote. No unexpected costs, no surprises.
Internal Structure
After hard impacts or major damage affecting ribs or multiple cells, we can often reconstruct the internal structure. If the damage is too extensive to rebuild reliably, we order the corresponding parts from the manufacturer to restore the original profile and structural integrity.Panel Replacement
Recommended for larger damage or newer wings where appearance and long-term value matter. If necessary, we source the exact matching fabric from the manufacturer.
Ripstop Repair
Performed using lightweight, color-matched sailcloth — durable and often barely visible.
Line Replacement
We replace individual lines or complete line sets. We ensure correct line material, lengths, line type, and original geometry to preserve safe and accurate flight characteristics.
