“The Parus is a leisure machine where takeoff, landing, turn and speed are covered in an amazing package. A light canopy, with a shark nose delivers an amazing inflation and takeoff. Super pop at the end of the brake range expands the margin for a soft landing and makes it a lot easier to handle. Superb agility for playing makes wingovers and games a walk in the park.
