Dear Arie
We just read the e-mail you send us - firstly is not technical enough -
sorry (we
would like to have the technical investigations of accidents - we work
nearly
with the associations on the investigations - this is a very important
input for
Paragliding R&D) .
Everybody can search on internet about paraglider crash and will found
most models
and brands - probabily every pilot will find many with the brand he is
flying actualy
too. Samples of this can be found easily in Youtube (unfortunatelly the
most viewed
videos from paraglider are crash videos):
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=p3RnWSd4vBchttp://uk.youtube.com/results?search_query=paraglider&search_sort=video_view_countA detailed and technical investigation can
all sport - this is made
frequently by many
associations and the goal is avoid new accidents due same reason and
turn our sport safer.
Ellus and Ellus 2 are our bestsellers alltime - more than 2.000 gliders
from this
both models worldwide can just afirm the sucess and welcome. Probabily
one of the top sold 1-2 models in the world.
Perhaps, if is any really interess to know more about Ellus family, the
pilots can take more
time reading technical reviews from worldrecognized magazines.
(some reviews are noticed in our web site
www.solsports.com.b r >>>
news >>> cliping)
http://www.solparagliders.com.br/en/index.php?option=content&task=blogcategory&id=14&Itemid=34Every magazines just confirm that Ellus and Ellus 2 are in mid range LTF
1-2 and we believe that
for a technical recomendation is much more necessary than a ´pilot
feeling´ or ´personal opinions´
on internet - probabily writing more about safety notes or real and
technical investigation of causes
of accidents will
much more the comunity.
SOL products and certifications are totally transparent - we make LTF
using DHV
laboratory and all tests are available on DHV web site technical part.

Remember that our products are made in our own factory - you was manytimes
here and could see exactly how we work - high tech - high trained people -
social responsability and full time developmend and research team. Our
gliders
flew many hours before certification and marketing. No recall or safety
*notes
*due problems was issued in our 18 years history. We fly a lot and we
test a lot
before certification (300 flyable days/year at least and the
worldrecords country).
I would like to remember a DHV - Info test done on gliders sold on the
market in 2005
- they bought gliders avaialable on the market and check if are like the
certified model

the Association all pilots to look what
other associations, laboratories,
schools,etc are doing and the result make the sport more safe. I
take the oportunity to invite all
to visit our website - look detailes infos about who we are, how we
work, our history, see our
factory and people, our programs of social responsabilty , our products,
our news with products,
clipings, etc and if any of readers come to Brazil are welcome to visit
and fly with us
Sincerelly
