🛫 Flight Characteristics & Performance of Advance PI BI

Despite its low weight, the PI BI delivers solid, predictable performance in real flight conditions. Handling is smooth and direct, with:

• Light brake pressure and easy control authority for enjoyable passenger flights
• Precise thermalling, even with a second person
• Low takeoff speed, making it ideal for alpine launches or tight hike & fly spots
• Easy inflation and launch behavior, especially in zero wind

You get confidence and comfort whether you’re flying morning sled rides or catching late afternoon thermals.
