Most pilots carry a rescue in their equipment, but rarely does anyone talk about actually using it. For many, pulling that handle stays a scary unknown.
In this video, Helena throws her rescue for the very first time. Before the jump, she wasn't sure what to expect. Afterwards, her perspective had changed completely: what she imagined would be dynamic, even frightening, turned out to be calm and controlled — throw, stall the glider, hold, and float down.
We encourage every pilot to try their full rescue system at least once. Knowing exactly what to expect, and that you can trust your equipment, makes all the difference in the moment you actually need it.
Fly safe, and know your system.

On the CHILI6, you can pull as much as you want on the A-riser. The higher pitch stability means the wing won’t overshoot on launch as easily.

We didn’t just want a faster or better-performing successor to the CHILI5. We wanted a wing that helps you make better decisions and fly more relaxed, even in tough conditions.

The CHILI6 isn’t a reinvention, it’s an evolution.
Same DNA, a completely new way of building it.
Which CHILI generation did you start on?

The CHILI6’s new profile increases the pitch moment coefficient, meaning if your angle of attack drops, the wing naturally wants to pitch up instead of collapsing.

The CHILI6 features a dedicated riser system: a pulley connects the C- and B-level, and thanks to the 2.5-line concept and efficient profile design, it delivers particularly low operating forces. The result: relaxed, fatigue-free piloting during accelerated flight, with steering precision that feels almost like a 2-liner — without the added line drag.
In addition, a second pulley system sits between the A- and B-level, designed specifically for the controlled simulation of collapses during SIV training. During normal flight, this system has no effect whatsoever.
MEASURING LINE LENGTH
To ensure accurate measurement results, this second system must be blocked before measuring your lines: fully tension the A-level, then insert a pin through the Low Friction Ring to lock the pulley system in place. Once secured, line measurements can be carried out as usual.
