• Simple installation
• No aerodynamic resistance.
• Perfectly balanced positioning in the water.
• Pilot remains in the position with the head above the water surface even consciousness
• Total weight of the system 650 g.
• Displacement of 300 N was calculated for a load of 200 kg in the water.

       

•Developed especially for the rescue of the paramotor when landing on the water.
• Material was developed and tested for both fresh water and salt water
• Can be used repeatedly, simple replacement of the cartouche and trigger pins.
• The trigger mechanism used in the design was supplied by a well known prestigious supplier.
• Several types, they differentiate by the attachment points for various types of paramotors.


 
CO2 Cartridge Installation (Do this before installation of AGAMA to paramotor)
1. Open the velcro on the right bottom side of AGAMA rescue system.
2. Screw in the CO2 cartridge
3. Close carefully the velcro around the automatics.
4. Now is your AGAMA rescue system ready to installation to paramotor.

• Yellow trigger sensor
• CO2 Cartridge

AGAMA Installation

.
1. Attach the AGAMA rescue system to the paramotor between the seat and the frame of the paramotor so that the bead will be on the right side down. PlanetPPG recommends placing the manual activation inside the unit so that it can not be pulled by accident during flight! 2. The entire inside border has loops designed for attaching the paramotor. The fixation points will be where the AGAMA rescue system touches the solid frame parts of the paramotor. These points must be selected in such a manner as to prevent any upwards movement of the rescue system after it is inflated.

3. Once you choose the fixation point, thread the belt through the loop and fix it to the frame. In this manner, attach at least 4 fixation belts. The fixation points should be distributed symmetrically. 4. Consider placing the manual inflation inside the AGAMA to prevent accidental deployment 5. Carry out a test for the correct attachment as follows: lift up the paramotor while holding the AGAMA rescue system on its upper part. The system must not move upwards and the paramotor must not be released.
 
Automatic Inflation: Manual Inflation:
Water rescue system is inflated within 3 seconds from the first contact with water. Do not inflate orally except when testing out of water. Use one 60 g CO2 gas cylinder. Operated by the pilot‘s hand, within easy reach. Only activate if rescue system is deflated. Use one 60 g CO2 gas cylinder.

Pull orange toggle to inflate.
To Deflate
Remove oral inflation tube cap. Insert nipple into valve and hold it there. Apply gently pressure to corpus and deflate. Replace cap after deflation.		 Cleaning Instruction
Wash after use in fresh warm water using a mild detergent only. Do not machine wash, dry clean or use stain removers.
Important
The system will not work until it is fully inflated. Use only one 60g CO2 gas cylinder.
Use only one 60g CO2 gas cylinder. Store in dry place.
Before every use inspect your gas inflation rescue system. In case of  deterioration contact your approved service station.

Apco Mayday since 1984

     

APCO Aviation started manufacturing the Mayday in 1984, and since then put over 20 000 pieces into service in the Paragliding and Hang Gliding markets. The Mayday has hundreds of life saving deployments to its name, from beginners to world champions.

• The Mayday is available in four sizes, all available with a short or long bridle, for paragliding, powered paragliding or hang gliding. APCO also manufactures a wide range of accessories for the Mayday range. This includes front and side mounted external containers for paragliding as well as external containers for powered paragliding and hang gliding, split bridles, long bridle extensions, UV-sleeves and much more.

• Over the years the basic design and construction techniques have remained the same - there is nothing to improve on a winning design and best seller. All four of the Mayday parachutes are "Flat Circular Pulled Down Apex" in design. In 1998 the Mayday Bi was released in a Pulled down Apex version, and soon after the Mayday 20 hit the market.

• The Mayday boasts superior construction and materials. The canopy cloth is F111 "zero porosity" ripstop nylon. The skirt and apex skirt is reinforced with 1'mil spec nylon tape, neatly wrapped and stitched with a precision four-needle machine. The line attachments have V-Tab reinforcements, sewn in place with a computerized machine, ensuring consistently high quality and strength.

• The Bridle is made from 6000 pound Nylon Webbing (UV Resistant). The attachment loop is covered with a Teflon sheath, to protect it from dangerous friction which may occur during deployment. Finally the bridle has a line sheath attached, to protect the lines where they link to it.

 NAC Helmets

Design developed by NAC-Intercom® for ULM & paragliding, EN966 certified

  • Made with ultra-strong fiber, making it an extremely lightweight helmet but very robust and with the most strict security measures.
  • Air sports EN966 certified, to ensure maximum safety.
  • Optimized design to the smallest detail, paying special attention to aerodynamics, with air intakes on the top and back, which facilitate the transfer.
  • Thinking about the comfort of the pilot, the chin strap closure allows quick adjustment for a suitable subjection.
  • Ability to attach a visor folding screen, with different models depending on usage.
  • Removable and interchangeable inner padding: to substitute another, adjust the size or just to wash it. Maximum hygiene and comfort.
  • Change the size of the helmet simply replacing internal padding.
  • Compatible also with all NAC-Intercom headsets, including the new wireless communication system BlueNAC-3000® with Bluetooth® technology.
  • Available in 2 colors: Pearl White and Carbon Optic

 

HEADSETS:

The electronics has been totally modified, allowing the connection of any radio-transceiver, and incorporates new characteristics, like intercom system connecting another NAC-Sidetone DUO with a small box of batteries. This makes possible the tandem flight and use each helmet separately.

Now it is possible to connect a MP3 player to listen music. If somebody speaks to us by radio, the music volume is muted automatically and if we decided to answer, when pressing the PTT, music is switch off to allow to listen the sidetone of our transmission, being returned progressively the volume up when the PTT is released.

Also it is possible to use air band radios without interferences, thanks to special filters in the PCB. The suppression of the noise improves drastically using a special noise cancel microphone. The circuit filter the vocal band and remove the noise of the signal to transmit with excellent clarity.
