Dear friends of high-performance textile wings,

As the year draws to a close, we look back on an eventful year at Cefics.
New products, many hours of flying, and exchanges with you—these are the things that have shaped our work and helped us move forward.

A year full of innovation and passion for flying

In recent months, we have launched products that once again take our shared hobby to new heights and greatly enrich the world of RC paragliding:

🪂 Ascendus VCT 3.7 Hybrid
A milestone in paragliding technology. The Ascendus combines high glide performance with easy handling and demonstrates the enormous potential of modern Punkair hybrid construction

🪂 Liegegurtzeug PunkRock XXL – RC-Gleitschirm-Flugsystem
With the PunkRock XXL, we have introduced a flight system that combines scale looks, robustness, and everyday practicality. Great battery flexibility, sophisticated design, extremely easy launching thanks to the unique handle, and relaxed flight characteristics make it a versatile companion for powerful and large gliders.

🪂 INSIDER 3.0 – VCT Hybrid
A paraglider that was developed in collaboration with the community. The INSIDER is known for its balanced handling, high weather tolerance, and very predictable flight characteristics—an all-rounder that inspires confidence and is fun to fly.

🎁 Thanks to you—our community

Thank you for

Without your input, many developments would not have been possible.

👉 Outlook for 2026

• Ascendus 2.5
• Cross Country 3.5
• Zephyr 2.0
• LoCo Hybrid 2.7 – Hybrid for beginners

👉 And a new type of extremely stall-resistant, highly dynamic Punkair double-skin scale wing with a new wing profile, massive speed, and the widest speed range the RC parachuting scene has ever seen. (Joe’s original quote: “Kiss my ass, it’s fast!”) – Innovative and intuitive, controlled by only two servos without an accelerator!

 

• Punkair “One” flight system
  • ONE flight system for ALL
  • Extremely affordable entry level as EasyPunk XL configuration
  • Upgradable from EasyPunk XL to FULL SCALE “One”?
  • Innovative, removable handle (for easy launch)

  • Compatible with Trike “One”
  • Compatible with ballast systems BS400 and BS700
  • Can be assembled as EasyPunk, technology carrier with photo recording, or as Scale Pilot
  • Full Scale – The system does not require a backpack and is therefore extremely true to the original.
  • Even better mass centering
  • Optimized geometry
  • Extremely light and robust
  • Compatible with all Punkair L and XL drive systems

 

• The Trike One – compatible with the Pro Ultralight flight systems, the new One, and even the old Emotion systems (with quick-change adapter)

👉 And, in response to many customer requests, a lying pilot for the Wave 3.0.

All this in keeping with the following motto:

🧠 “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

With this statement, Steve Jobs emphasized that true leadership—in business, technology, or other fields—depends largely on developing and implementing new ideas rather than simply copying existing ones.

Let’s continue to innovate and develop our hobby together in 2026.

We wish you and your families peaceful holidays, a good start to the new year 2026, good health, and many safe and enjoyable flights.

Your Cefics crew
Joe, Stefan, and Carl-Gustav
