The Hybrid 1.8 is a model paraglider built in a combination of single skin and doubleskin technology. Some cells are built with a top sail only, whereas some consist of top and bottom sail. This construction shall combine the characteristics of both building techniques. The harness is designed for pilot Robin and allows mounting a back pack motor. Like on real paragliders a speeder can be mounted which allows shortening the A-belts for reducing the angle of attack.
