Design and development

The Flash was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration powering a two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal). [1]

As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. [1]
