Summit SS (single seat)

The Summit SS is a unique design that has been scaled down from our Standard two place Summit. This design has still kept the features that are offered on the two place, which has set the Summit apart from other PPC models. The SS is offered in the open style or with the optional composite pod and a full enclosure model will be available soon. 

• The Summit SS can be flown with standard conventional rectangular canopies or the new hybrid or elliptical canopies now available.
• The Summit SS has been designed to accommodate a variety of engines making you power plant choices limitless.
• The Summit SS basic open style airframe can easily meet the 254 lb U/L requirements; even with the electric start option. The composite cowling pod is not a structural unit and can therefore be offered as an option.
• Either style comes with full shock suspension and front brake as standard equipment.

So if you want open air flying or the option of an enclosed cowling the Summit SS is the only single place powered parachute to be able o offer you the best of both worlds.
