Gin Pegasus 4: Confidence Equals Fun
The Gin Pegasus 4 is a universal paramotoring wing designed specifically for beginner and leisure pilots who want a wing that is both safe and genuinely fun to fly. Building on the massive success of the Pegasus 3, this latest version introduces a new planform and arc, providing greater agility in turns, increased roll stability, and a more direct feel on the brakes. It is the perfect tool for your journey from student to independent pilot.
New Planform and Arc
The Pegasus 4 features a completely redesigned planform and arc that significantly improves efficiency during turns. This design update ensures that brake pressures feel direct and responsive, yet remain progressive and forgiving with long travel. The result is a more balanced and enjoyable flight experience that helps new pilots develop their skills with confidence.
Revised Inlet System for Stability
In conjunction with the new profile, a revised inlet calculation has led to better pitch stability and increased aerodynamic efficiency. This means the Pegasus 4 stays solid and predictable across a wide range of conditions, offering a calmer glide and a high level of passive safety, whether you are thermalling or cruising under power.
Smooth Inflation & Early Take-off
One of the most critical features for a beginner wing is launch behavior. The Pegasus 4 is equally adept in light and strong winds, rapidly stabilizing overhead without "shooting" or hanging back. Its efficient profile produces lift at low speeds, allowing for an early take-off with less need to run fast—a major advantage for paramotor launches in nil-wind conditions.
Durable Yet Light Construction
The Pegasus 4 is built to withstand the rigors of groundhandling and schooling. Gin has utilized an intelligent mix of custom fabrics, including exclusive Myungjin MJ40 fabric on the leading edge for enhanced durability and weather resistance. This ensures the wing stays "crisp" over many seasons while maintaining the superior flying characteristics of a lighter canopy.
Versatile Riser System
The Pegasus 4 is equipped with dedicated paramotor risers featuring a trimmer system for powered flight and a speed system for free flight. For trike pilots, the larger sizes include optimized brake lengths to accommodate different attachment points. The lines and trim straps are color-coded to make pre-flight checks and adjustments as simple and precise as possible.
