Read a great review of this glider by Rob Reynolds at: http://www.para2000.org/wings/data/independence-dragon_uk_01_01.htm

This Large Dragon L (30.68 square meters flat area, 27.35 square meters projected area) came into my possession recently. I've given it a careful inspection, and it looks like it has almost zero hours on it! Look closely at the photos, and you'll be as impressed as I am. [I took these photos on the same day I listed this item on eBay.] I've also added four photos of similar Dragon paragliders, to show what they look like in flight.

The crisp orange canopy with silver/gray inlay looks flawless, with almost no sign of any fading, scuffing, dragging, etc. The OEM lines still glow with bright fluorescent colors in the sunlight, and these lines are clean, undamaged, unkinked and un-faded, all the way from the risers on up to the canopy. The risers and brake handles are similarly very clean and appear good-as-new (note: one brake keeper 'snap clip' has come apart, an easy fix). There are no signs of any damage or prior repairs. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give this paraglider a 9.5 or more.

This size Large Independence Dragon paraglider is ideally suited to a pilot who weighs between 95 and 125 kg (209 to 275 lbs.). It is certified DHV 1-2 with the added DHV endorsement for winch towing, and many pilots have used the large Independence Dragon for flying with a paramotor or other similar power source.

Note: Hang Gliding and Paragliding are forms of aviation which are considered  hazardous sports with inherent risks. You must have proper instruction from a qualified instructor before undertaking any aspect of Hang Gliding or Paragliding. Fly cautiously, because you are safer if you don’t get into an emergency than you are if you need your reserve parachute to get out of one. No reserve parachute is 100% reliable, and no one should intentionally ride one down except to escape from an actual emergency.
