INTRODUCTION
1.
When setting out to design our cross-country glider we had a clear target:
we wanted to create the best paraglider possible for experienced and cross-
country pilots. Pilots who want top performance and sensitive handling, but
who rightly demand security.
The Venus SC has evolved from our highly successful competition glider the
Mercury Sport and shows the same friendly handling that made the Mercury
such a popular glider choice with both cross-country and competition pilots.
The Venus SC is a 3-line concept.
The combination of unsheathed Liros Dyneema and Cousin Vectraline give
the Venus SC an impressive reduction in drag when compared to the Venus
III with consequent increase in speed and glide.
Performance is at the top of the EN C, LTF C class.
With an internal structure based on the successful Mercury Sport
competition glider the Venus SC includes our unique differential speed
system. This means pilots can achieve a good sink-rate at half or one-third
speed bar and maintain good stability at maximum speed: in short, it gives
the glider excellent usable speed.
The Venus SC
is a performance glider (EN-C) and is meant for qualified
pilots who hold a full paragliding pilot license. It is designed as an ideal
cross-country glider, suitable for very experienced pilots who fly regularly
and who will enjoy a performance glider with good safety characteristics.
This manual provides information about the glider, which will help you to fly
safely and keep your wing in good condition. If after reading this manual
you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us or any
authorized Axis dealer.
