Best Speeds to Fly Paragliders    

-Never fly slow!

-Newer gliders are safer to fly because minimum sink and stall speeds are farther apart.
 
Polar Curve Comparisons
 
-In no wind, trim speed gives you the best glide.

-In a tail wind, the best glide is minimum sink.

-In a head wind, the best glide is faster than trim speed.
