Gin Fuse 3 Paraglider

Experience Tandem Flight Excellence with the Gin Fuse 3 Paraglider

Unparalleled Efficiency and Reliability

The Gin Fuse 3 Paraglider is meticulously engineered for professional tandem pilots who demand maximum efficiency, reliability, and an exceptional flying experience. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Fuse 3 introduces significant enhancements that elevate tandem flying to new heights. Notably, it features a new big ears control system and a lighter, more durable fabric developed in collaboration with Myungjin, offering an outstanding weight-to-durability ratio .​Gin Yeti 6

Smooth Launches and Precise Handling with Gin Fuse 3 Paraglider

Launching the Fuse 3 is effortless, thanks to its easy inflation and smoother take-off characteristics. Once airborne, pilots will appreciate the precise and well-coordinated turns facilitated by super-light brake pressure. Additionally, the wing exhibits minimal shooting in strong conditions, ensuring a stable and controlled flight .​Gin Gliders

Advanced Materials for Durability and Performance

The Fuse 3’s canopy is constructed using exclusive new fabric developed by GIN and Myungjin, which combines light weight with exceptional durability. This innovative material contributes to the wing’s reduced weight—making it one of the lightest everyday tandems on the market—while maintaining the strength required for professional use .​

Enhanced Features for Versatility

The Fuse 3 incorporates several features aimed at improving the tandem flying experience:​

• An innovative big ears system that simplifies control, allowing pilots to hold and release or even control with brakes .​

• A “trim neutral” position indicator on the risers for easy reference .​

• Replaceable trimmer webbing for extended usability .​

These enhancements, combined with the wing’s improved real-world performance in both weak and strong conditions, make the Fuse 3 a versatile choice for tandem pilots .​

Certified Safety and Professional Reliability

Certified EN B, the Fuse 3 offers a balance of performance and safety suitable for a wide range of tandem flying activities. Its design caters to both light pilots and passengers, providing versatility across various flying scenarios .​

• innovative big ears system makes it much easier to hold and release or even control with brakes
• exclusive new fabric developed by GIN and Myungjin offers outstanding durability with light weight
• easy inflation and smoother take-off
• minimal shooting in strong conditions
• precise and well co-ordinated turn with super light brake pressure
• first class “thermal sniffing” ability
• great energy retention with trim off, or super-soft, progressive braking with trim neutral
• improved real world performance in weak and strong conditions alike
• more durable yet lighter canopy fabric
• “Trim neutral” position indicator on risers
• replaceable trimmer webbing

As with the Fuse 2, the trim settings and wide weight range offer versatility for light pilots and passengers. The wing can also be flown solo.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Test pilot Tim Bollinger explains the philosophy behind the Fuse3:

 Building on success

The Fuse 3 retains, and even improves slightly, all the characteristics that made the Fuse 2 so well liked among professional tandem pilots. Easy inflation, great energy retention, useful practical trim settings, precise handling and useful performance in climbing and gliding.

Durable, yet light

A workhorse wing like the Fuse needs to be durable, yet pilots are used to the in-air and on-ground advantages of lighter wings. For this reason, GIN was motivated to develop a new PU-based composite coating fabric in partnership with Korean fabric manufacturer Myungjin. After years of development and over 2 years of field testing, this fabric has proved to be very durable despite a relatively light weight.

Innovative big ears system

Thanks to feedback from various professional tandem pilots in France, the Fuse 3 features a new big ear system on the risers. This makes it much easier and faster to pull and release the big ears. Besides, the pilot can still use the brakes to steer the glider, useful, for example, to control the glide ratio on top landings.

DESIGN NOTE

The Fuse 2 was our most successful tandem ever and has gained a big fan base in the professional tandem business all over the world, thanks to it being both easy to use and a pleasure to fly. That made it really challenging for us to improve this glider even more, especially as everyone was totally happy with the predecessor. But after one year of development and extensive testing in Korea, France and Switzerland we were finally happy with the new Fuse 3.

The Fuse series has always been known for its excellent take-off abilities in all conditions, its good performance and precise, playful handling. It was important to keep these qualities whilst introducing some new developments.

On the Fuse 3, we introduce a brand new fabric developed by GIN with Myungjin. It offers an extraordinary weight-to-durability ratio and is the result of over two years of testing and development all over the world in different conditions. Its coating is a PU- based composite, which makes it extremely durable, despite being lighter than the fabric we were using on the Fuse 2.

We also worked a lot on the trimming of the brakes. Brake pressure has slightly decreased, and the handling is even more agile now. While you do not feel any difference in calm air, you have more control over the glider in rough air and you can turn tighter, making use of even small bubbles. The new brake setting helps also on the landing and increases the energy retention on the flair, which was already very good in the Fuse 2.

Based on the feedback from various professional tandem pilots in France we introduced a new big ear system on the risers. Now it is much easier and faster to pull and release the big ears. In addition to that, the pilot can still use the brakes and steer the glider. This especially helps on tricky top landings as the glide ratio can be easily adjusted.

DETAILS OF Gin Fuse 3 Paraglider
