PLAY 2016
The Kiwi in 2016 (prototype: Furia), is a real little paraglider, but only for on the ground and hops. The wing can be controlled easily with the rear risers …
The wings which we were testing in these photos taken eleven years ago are still on the market and are still regularly sold, in particular, to paragliding and paramotoring schools.

We tested the unfinished prototype, the ‘Furia’, which will become the ‘Kiwi’ in its final form. Development on behalf of Icaro Paragliders is apparently in the hands of Mad Mike Küng.
