Deployments:

The most common feedback we hear from those that have flown the Tesla is that it’s the best opening parachute they have flown its class. During testing we have found the openings to be smooth, well-staged and progressive, being easily manageable with the ability to “fly through the opening” with riser or harness input.

 

Note: The Tesla is a high performance wing and must be deployed as such. The wing requires precise packing and body awareness during opening, sloppy packing or asymmetry will be very evident with a Tesla.

​

Rear Risers:

The Tesla was designed to have exceptional range and response on rear risers. It has more power on rears than similar wings on the market. The pressure is intuitive and the feedback is predictable. This wing was designed to provide a good platform for the user to learn and develop good rear riser technique while still being somewhat forgiving.

 

Front Risers:

The front risers were designed to behave much like those of other high performance wings (Helix et.al) The front risers begin moderate to light and then build to more pressure in a progressive manner. The features of the front risers are also meant to build skills that are useful on more advanced wings.

 

Controls (toggles)

The control inputs provide a strong flare that has great swoop characteristics. The inputs are progressive with slight effects early in the range and more dynamic results as the input increases. The control inputs are designed to be comfortable for those who prefer to use toggle (control) inputs alone rather than for those who prefer to combine them with other inputs (rear riser etc.) with good transitions between those inputs.
