FLARE MOUSTACHE
From $3,534 - $4,087 depending on wing-size
Here’s to all the pilots who are the first to hit the coastline and the last to leave the party – Those that work hard and play harder, here for one thing and one thing alone... The MOUSTACHE.
It's the first wing in the history of flying uniting steering handles and accelerator and giving both into the brake handles having full control over your hands.
Be aware: The MOUSTACHE is NOT built for thermal flying, nor being used in strong turbulences since a reflex profile is powerful and behaves completely different in collapses!

Flare System
It's the first wing in the history of flying uniting steering handles and accelerator and giving both into the brake handles, having full control over your hands.
It is as Pulley-system to “mix” the B and C level with a certain ratio to the brake travel.
The C-level moves with a ratio of 1/3 of the Braketravel.
The B-level moves with a ratio of 1/6 of the Braketravel.
That means you can fully adjust your glide ratio by completely changing the angle of attack of your wing. The combination was the key to success. Equipped with the superstable reflex profile construction with a positive momentum means that the wing always wants to fly away from you and keeps line tension, even in fully accelerated flight.
Your brake handle is connected with an elastic Free Brake Line, to be quickly able to grab it when standing on the ground.
Don't release the brake handle while flying and stay in the loops.
Reflex Profile
The reflex profile keeps the wing stable at a low angle of attack and at full acceleration. The counter-arching pushes the trailing edge down and prevents a front stall. The reflex profile is essential for controlling and depowering your parakite.
Killer Mushroom
The Killer Mushroom is the perfect tool to kill your MOUSTACHE, it is connected on the B level and will stop your wing completely from generating any lift. The best emergency help when you are standing on the ground and the wind gets too strong and you want to bring your wing to the ground. Don't use while flying – please DON'T!
Best Trim Labels
We have placed a left and right label on each end of the two risers where the best trim is situated when your MOUSTACHE gets to your door. When you fly with your handle on this position, you are going to achieve the best glide ratio. Furthermore, the left and right labels help you to organize your lines when you connect the MOUSTACHE to your harness, even in strong winds when the wing is not completely unfolded.
RFS – Riser Fix System
Our Riser Fix System is a rigid foil that is sewed at the lowers sails trailing edge and hides in side pockets. You can slide it through your riser loops to keep them perfectly organized when packing or unpacking your wing. It also prevents line tangling when packing or unpacking your wing. Together with the left and right "Best Trim" Labels starting your session will get much easier. Put the rigid foil back in the pockets when flying.
Automatic Drainage System
The Automatic Drainage System hides in the internal construction of our parakite. Dirt and small objects that got inside the wing slide automatically from the middle section to the wingtips. They exit the wing through two big holes at the trailing edge of the wingtips.
SNOW Loops
The MOUSTACHE is equipped with 5 snowloops on the upper sail, which will prevent your wing from sliding down a snowy or technical difficult take off.
Specifications
Recommendation about take-off weight, tech-talk and further information.
There's a difference in recommended size for the same person for use of soaring or flying in the mountains. Take a bigger size for soaring, and a smaller size for speed flying.
To be safe, we recommend learning your new FLARE skills on one of the bigger sizes first. "If in doubt – take the bigger size out"

The right choice of size is for sure the most important decision you have to make to enjoy the perfect FLARE experience. According to this, FLARE designed the recommended Take-Off Weight Chart for you.
Windrange - flat dunes
The MOUSTACHE compared to a normal paragliding Miniwing has a way bigger glide ratio and wind range you can use, due to its ability to adjust your full angle of attack.
