Description
The evolution of the original. The original MOUSTACHE defined modern proximity soaring. MOUSTACHE² builds on that foundation and refines it with more speed, sharper handling and increased precision. Developed within the FLARE System, it gives you direct control over angle of attack through your brake input. Glide, lift and speed can be adjusted in real time, allowing you to actively manage energy close to terrain. Compared to its predecessor, MOUSTACHE² introduces Shark Nose construction, Mini Ribs and stabilo brake integration at the wingtips. These refinements improve internal pressure stability, reduce drag and enhance turning precision. The result is a more responsive and structured flying experience with a wider usable speed range. MOUSTACHE² adapts to different soaring styles. It performs in coastal lift, dynamic terrain runs and windy conditions where precision and timing matter. MOUSTACHE² is not designed for thermal flying or turbulent alpine conditions. It is fast, powerful and requires active pilot input and system understanding.

Specifications
The recommended size depends on how you plan to fly the MOUSTACHE². A larger size offers more lift and smoother energy management for soaring. A smaller size delivers a more compact and dynamic response for faster mountain flying. If you are developing your FLARE skills, we recommend starting on the larger size within your certified take-off weight range.
Always calculate your full take-off weight, including harness, reserve and equipment.
Take Off Weight
Choosing the right size is the most important step to get the best out of your FLARE experience. Our recommended take-off weight chart helps you match your total flying weight and intended use with the correct size. To support your decision, watch the "Sizes" video in our Academy section. The Take-Off-Weight Chart shows you how dynamically the wing reacts and which skill level it requires based on your take-off weight (at 0 wind speed).
COMPARISON CANOPY LOAD OF MOUSTACHE² AND PARAGLIDER
WINGLOAD 3 - 3,5
Comparable with the dynamic behavior of a normal paraglider size.
WINGLOAD 3,5 - 4,5
Comparable to the dynamic behavior of a paraglider in the sports class.
WINGLOAD 4,5 - 5,5
Comparable to the dynamic behavior of a mini wing.
WINGLOAD 5,5 - 6,5
Comparable to the dynamic behavior of a speedflyer.
WINGLOAD > 6,5
Comparable to the dynamic behavior of a very small speedflyer (9m² or smaller)
Wind Range
Compared to a traditional miniwing, MOUSTACHE² offers a wider usable wind range and improved glide performance thanks to active angle-of-attack control through the FLARE System.
Technical Data
In Flight
FLARE SystemÂ
The FLARE System integrates dynamic angle-of-attack control directly into your brake input.
Through a defined pulley setup, brake travel progressively mixes in rear riser control:
• C level moves at a 1:3 ratio to brake travel
• B level moves at a 1:6 ratio
This controlled mixing changes the angle of attack in a defined way and allows you to adjust glide performance and energy through brake input.
Combined with the reflex profile and its positive pitching stability, the parakite maintains line tension and structural integrity even at higher speeds. The canopy naturally moves forward and stays pressurised.
The brake handles are connected via an elastic Free Brake Line for easier launch preparation. In flight, always keep the brake handles secured in the loops and never release them.
Features
Reflex Profile
The integrated reflex profile stabilises the parakite at low angles of attack and during full acceleration. Its counter-arching geometry supports pitch stability and reduces the risk of front collapse. Essential for controlled depowering and stable high-speed flight.
Automatic Drainage System
The internal structure guides dirt or small particles towards the wingtips, where they exit through dedicated openings at the trailing edge. This supports long-term performance and internal cleanliness.
Killer Mushroom
The Killer Mushroom is a ground control tool connected to the B level of the MOUSTACHE². When activated, it removes lift generation and brings the parakite down in a controlled manner. It is designed as an emergency solution for strong wind situations while standing on the ground. The Killer Mushroom must not be used in flight.
Mini Ribs
Mini ribs refine trailing-edge geometry by increasing cell segmentation in the rear canopy section. This reduces drag and improves glide efficiency as well as landing precision.
Shark Nose
The shaped air intake maintains internal pressure across a wide angle-of-attack range. This supports stability during acceleration and enhances canopy consistency.
Best Trim Labels
MOUSTACHE² achieves its best glide performance when the brake handles are positioned slightly below the L and R trim markers on the risers. This position defines your optimal glide setting.
RFS – Riser Fix System
The Riser Fix System is a rigid foil integrated into the lower trailing edge and stored in dedicated side pockets. It can be guided through the riser loops during packing to keep them organised and reduce line tangling. Remove the rigid foil from the loops and place it back into the pockets before flight.
Stabilo Brake on the Wingtip
The stabilo brake adds a more effective 2D steering input by engaging both the main brake and the wingtip section. Pulling the control handle toward you activates the stabilo brake for tighter turns. For flatter turns, start from the best glide position and balance inside and outside brake input accordingly.
