The BGD Adam Spot is a dedicated EN/LTF-A accuracy paraglider created for pilots who demand maximum precision in target landings without compromising safety. Derived from the legendary school wing Adam, it inherits a very high passive safety level while being tuned specifically for competition accuracy flying, becoming the trusted tool of many top-ranked pilots worldwide.
Accuracy wing with school-wing safety DNA
Conceptually, the Adam Spot starts from the original “safe enough for your children” Adam and refines it into a specialised competition machine. With 34 cells and a moderate flat aspect ratio of 4.5, it stays reassuringly compact and forgiving, yet precise and agile in brake input. Certified EN/LTF-A across all sizes, it targets pilots who want to combine training, recreational flying and serious accuracy competition on a single wing.
Target group and flight style
The wing is aimed at progressing pilots and competitive accuracy specialists who value controllability and predictable behaviour near the stall point. The Adam Spot can be flown down to very low airspeeds: you can brake it close to stall and it will settle into a controllable parachutal descent, allowing refined spot-landing techniques such as vertical drops, swoop finishes and along-route approaches directly onto the dead-centre.
Key performance and handling characteristics
Exceptional controllability and stability
The hallmark of the Adam Spot is its slow-speed controllability. The long, progressive brake range ramps cleanly into deep stall, giving pilots a very readable margin for final corrections. Outstanding roll stability makes launch, approach and final flare more relaxed, while carefully tuned spiral behaviour ensures that the glider exits spirals cleanly without a tendency to lock in, a rare safety advantage in low-aspect training and competition wings.
Geometry, sizes and certified weight ranges
Available in sizes S, M, ML and L with flat areas from 22.1 to 30.2 m² and certified weight ranges from 55–75 kg up to 105–130 kg, the Adam Spot covers a very wide pilot spectrum. Trim speed is around 38 km/h with a top speed of about 50 km/h, minimum sink near 1 m/s and best glide around 8, more than sufficient for competition tasks, training flights and everyday soaring at sites where precision landing matters as much as distance.
Construction technology and materials
Refined BGD technologies
BGD integrates several of its signature technologies into the Adam Spot: the Baby A-riser simplifies big ears and stabilises the wing on bar; Chord Cut Billow and elliptical cell openings smooth the leading edge and reduce wrinkles, improving inflation and collapse recovery. Progressive stability gives a solid, calm centre with more communicative tips, while weight-optimised ribs and an integrated line layout reduce line drag and overall weight without sacrificing robustness.
Durable, proven materials
The canopy uses Dominico D30 42 g/m² fabric on top, bottom and internal structure, balanced for durability and consistent inflation characteristics. Plastic nose reinforcements, Kevlar/nylon risers and Liros line sets (DSL and TSL series) complete a construction that is engineered for intensive training and competition use, including thousands of take-offs and landings typical for accuracy pilots.
From training slope to podium
Choice of champions, tool for ambitious pilots
The Adam Spot has earned its reputation as “choice of champions”, frequently appearing in the upper ranks of international accuracy competitions. Its blend of school-wing safety, finely tuned brake authority and meticulously engineered stability makes it suitable both for ambitious clubs building an accuracy programme and for individual pilots preparing for national and world-level events.
