Light and compact yet fully-fledged, PI BI is the perfect tandem wing for Hike & Fly with friends and family. Weighing only 4.8 kg, with a weight range from 100 to 180 kg, this ADVANCE light tandem merges the best qualities of the PI and BIBETA 6.
PI BI – Family Affair
Special: It’s not just the weight and volume; even the handling and agility of the light tandem remind one of a solo wing. The Advance PI BI has three risers and trims, like the BIBETA 6, and is fitted with robust Edelrid Aramid lines. PI BI – dynamic flying fun for two.
Despite its low weight and very small packed volume, similar to a solo wing, the PI BI is a fully-capable tandem wing with effective trims which give it a large speed range. This is made possible by a very compact build method and minimalist inner life. As well as the tandem certification the PI BI is also approved for solo flying.
