Lines and Features

Twice coated

Edelrid Magix Pro lines differ from other uncovered versions because they undergo a detailed Thermo Shield treatment and have an additional UV-Protec-Coating, which filters out the sun’s damaging UV light. These finishing processes prolong life, provide resistance to dust and water, and, at the same time, minimise the loss of strength caused by UV radiation.

Very stable length

Compared with Dyneema, Aramid lines, in general, change their lengths very little. Edelrid “Magix Pro” demonstrates minimal stretching and shrinking – within a maximum 0.2 % – and this line has excellent return-to-original properties. Experience shows that paragliders, fully lined with Edelrid “Magix Pro”, do not require retrimming for very long periods. Original flying characteristics are retained even after much intensive use.

Robust dimensions

The use of “Magix Pro” for the BIBETA 6 does not put performance alone at the forefront. Line thickness is similar to that of traditional covereds. This measurement results in considerably higher strength for the same diameter, because the whole cross section shares the load – not just the core. The broad gauge of “Magix Pro” lines delivers longer life compared to similar thickness covered lines.

Inner loop reinforcement

Every BIBETA line has internal loop reinforcement. To achieve this a length of the same line is spliced inside a loop, increasing its line diameter, and thus the surface area of loop to loop contact. This reduces pressure where thin line meets thicker, and avoids the problem of the thin line cutting into the other.easiness

Outer loop reinforcement

Base line loops also have external covers to minimise wear where they meet their quicklink.

Big ears with Vary-Grip

Split A-risers make big ears easy. Each outer A line can be held in a jam cleat on the back of its C-riser. BIBETA 6 ears can stay folded without pilot assistance, for as long as needed, thus saving the biceps. At the same time the wing can be steered normally by brake; or the pilot could take advantage of hands-free flight for some photography.easiness

Brake line guides adjustable for height

There are two loops on each BIBETA 6 C-riser so that brake line guide position can suit the pilot’s height and arms. A brake line guide can easily be removed and re-looped in the new position. The guide can also be looped on the C-riser quicklink for a third, very high position. After changing a guide position the brake line length (brake handle knot) should be altered accordingly – up or down as required.easiness

Three riser levels

The BIBETA 6 three riser levels are easy to distinguish. This simplifies sorting before takeoff – a quick shake and the lines separate themselves – sorting is as good as done. Three risers also contribute to BIBETA 6 weight reduction.

New brake handle magnets

New plastic-coated magnets hold the brake handles in their correct position on the risers during flight, in case you want to film or photograph with free hands. Tandem professionals can then immediately have the brakes in the hands when they need them.

Optional spreaders

Four different spreaders are available as options for the BIBETA 6: rigid, soft, soft-adjustable and soft-adjustable with Quickouts.

Trimmer

The BIBETA 6 has trimmers which provide a speed increase of about 6 kph, giving the pilot a useful
safety speed reserve against strong wind. Open trims together with big ears (Vary-Grip) is a comfortable
and considerate way to descend with a passenger when necessary.

Options

The optional spreaders are a must for using a BIBPRO 3 with the BIBETA 6. An outstanding feature of all three spreader versions, Hard Hybrid, Soft Trim and Soft: cleanly running, covered reserve connection lines as a permanent part of the spreader. This saves not only a carabiner, but also the connection check before takeoff.

ADVANCE BIBETA 6 Safety Guide

Prioritize Safety on Every Flight

Flying tandem with the ADVANCE BIBETA 6 demands careful preparation to ensure both pilot and passenger safety. Begin each flight by conducting a comprehensive pre-flight inspection. Check canopy fabric, lines, risers, and harness attachments for wear or damage.

Weather Conditions Matter

Always fly within the wing’s certified weather parameters. Avoid turbulent or gusty conditions, especially when carrying a passenger. Moderate wind speeds and stable air improve flight comfort and reduce risks.

Passenger Briefing Is Essential

Before launch, thoroughly brief your passenger. Explain basic safety measures such as proper seating posture, keeping hands inside the harness, and how to react during takeoff and landing. Clear communication builds confidence and safety.

Emergency Procedures

Familiarize yourself with emergency maneuvers specific to the BIBETA 6. Practice handling asymmetric collapses, deep stalls, and reserve deployment drills regularly. This preparation is vital for rapid, calm responses under pressure.

Landing Safety

Plan your landing approach carefully, coordinating with your passenger to ensure a smooth touchdown. Avoid abrupt turns or rapid descents close to the ground to minimize risk.

How to Use the ADVANCE BIBETA 6: Flight and Handling Tips

Mastering Launch

To achieve a smooth takeoff, lay out the wing properly and inspect it for twists or tangles. Use gradual brake inputs during inflation, and keep the wing rising steadily overhead before committing to the run.

In-flight Control

Maintain light brake pressure for subtle direction changes. Anticipate turbulence and adjust your inputs gently to maintain wing stability. The BIBETA 6 responds well to precise commands, so avoid sudden or harsh movements.

Passenger Comfort

Keep your passenger informed and relaxed. Encourage them to lean slightly forward during takeoff and landing, and to stay calm during in-flight maneuvers. Their comfort directly impacts flight quality.advance lightness 4

Post-flight Care

After landing, pack the wing carefully to avoid fabric damage. Store it in a dry, shaded area. Regularly clean the wing with fresh water and inspect for line wear or fabric tears.advance lightness 4
