Description

Discover Confidence in the Sky with the Gin Bolero 7

Learning to fly should be a joy, not a challenge. Firstly, That’s exactly why the Gin Bolero 7 was created—to offer beginner and leisure pilots a safe, stable, and easy-to-handle wing. Whether you’re new to the sport or just looking for a reliable everyday glider, the Bolero 7 helps you build confidence from your very first launch. Consequently, it is an excellent choice for those who want to learn quickly and safely.https://www.facebook.com/share/191pJQmuAy/

Gin Vantage 3 Smooth Takeoffs and Easy Inflation

Furthermore, from the moment you begin ground handling, you’ll immediately notice the difference. The Gin Bolero 7 inflates evenly and rises above your head with minimal input. Even in low wind conditions, it stabilizes quickly, which allows pilots to focus on their takeoff technique without struggling against the wing. Moreover, the wing’s early lift-off at low speed makes launching feel effortless. as a result students and instructors both benefit from safer, more efficient takeoff sequences.

Gentle Handling, Built for Learning Gin Bolero 7

Not only is the Bolero 7 exceptionally stable in turbulence, but it also responds smoothly to brake input. In addition, turns feel intuitive and progressive. Moreover, the wing gives you time to correct mistakes—an essential trait during early training flights. Furthermore, the Bolero 7 incorporates optimized sail tension and a redesigned arc, making it less prone to oscillations. Thus, new pilots spend more time focusing on technique and less time reacting to the wing.

Thermalling Made Easy

Thanks to its natural “thermal sniffing” ability, the Gin Bolero 7 guides pilots toward lift intuitively. While, thermals can be difficult for beginners to master, this wing enhances sensitivity without overwhelming the pilot. Therefore, you learn more about active flying, faster. Additionally, the wing’s stability in turbulent air makes it ideal for safe, comfortable thermalling.

Lightweight, Durable, and Smartly Designed

Constructed with robust Myungjin fabric on the top surface, the Bolero 7 delivers lasting durability. Moreover, its simplified line layout reduces tangles and eases pre-flight inspections—helping both student and instructor alike. Weighing between 4.0 and 5.55 kg, it also remains light enough for easy transport and hike-and-fly fun. Consequently, it’s the perfect choice for those looking for a reliable and durable training glider.

The Ideal First Wing

Ultimately, the Gin Bolero 7 empowers new pilots to progress with confidence. From flight school to solo adventures, it’s a wing you can trust—flight after flight. Therefore, it’s the perfect companion for any aspiring paraglider pilot.

The Bolero 7 is perfect for the formative years of a flying career, from first steps to first thermals and well beyond. For casual or more experienced safety oriented pilots, it could even be all the wing they will ever need.

A supremely balanced delight

Safety is paramount in a beginner wing, and the Bolero 7 is probably our most stable wing ever in terms of pitch and roll. Yet the wing is also great fun to fly, tight flat turns are possible and it’s easy and intuitive to vary the bank. There is zero tendency to enter a spiral dive in case the pilot inadvertently pulls too much brake.

As soon as the wing is overhead, the efficient profile is already producing lift. The wing is airborne at a low speed, and provides gentle forward momentum on light wind take-offs. In stronger winds, the wing remains equally well behaved with no hanging back.

The highly progressive brake travel means that the wing is easy to control in the turn and this encourages the pilot to learn to use subtle brake inputs. At the same time, the brake pressure increases quickly as more brake is pulled. The full brake range is very long, and thus the wing is extremely forgiving for students and beginner pilots.

Gin Bolero 7

will greatly help a pilot learning to thermal. The wing has a tendency to automatically fly towards lift. On entering the lift, there is a helpful biting which minimises the pitch corrections a pilot needs to make, enabling them to fully concentrate on maximising the lift (or enjoying the view!).

The Bolero 7 uses our custom Myungjin fabric on the upper surface, which was developed specifically for greater durability and porosity resistance. This fabric has been well proven with our Fuse 3 tandem wing, which has been flown thousands of hours worldwide. Other fabrics are used strategically throughout the wing.

DESIGNER NOTES Gin Bolero 7

Designer Gin Seok Song explains the development process of the Bolero 7:

The target with the Bolero 7 was to improve the handling, but during the development we were also able to improve the stability in both pitch and roll.

The new planform has more curve towards the wing tips and a straighter trailing edge — this gives an efficient turn. Even with tight turns the bank stays quite flat. We also worked on optimising the arc, which prevents a pilot accidentally entering a spiral dive whilst thermalling. The brake travel is highly progressive, only a small amount of brake is needed to turn the wing, but pressure increases quickly and it’s almost impossible to enter a stall unintentionally. Around the stall point, the wing recovers easily upon easing up on the brakes.

We also made some improvements to our EPT (Equalised pressure technology) system. On take-off, the wing immediately stabilises above the pilot and the lift-off comes very early at low speed. In addition, the wing self-corrects into small directional gusts on take-off and sniffs out thermals in the air.

Overall, the whole team was really happy with the Bolero 7 and we had a lot of fun test flying it. We didn’t feel so limited, even though it’s a wing for beginners!
