The Charly Second Chance (Round) stands as the most popular paragliding reserve system worldwide, with more documented emergency deployments than any other canopy on the market. It is the definitive "do-it-all" solution for pilots who value simplicity, longevity, and peace of mind. As an authorised dealer, Fly2Base is proud to supply this legendary safety system to the global paragliding community. Whether you are a student pilot or a seasoned cross-country enthusiast, the Second Chance offers a high-performance safety net with worldwide shipping to get you back in the air with confidence. Advanced Inner Container Innovation A standout feature of the Charly Second Chance (Round) is its sophisticated inner container. Developed and refined on the G-Force Trainer, this flat-style container is specifically optimised to make pulling the reserve from a harness compartment easier and faster. Unlike standard containers that are often a compromise for integrated harness compartments, Charly’s design reduces friction and speeds up the deployment sequence. For pilots using a front-mount setup, a specialised front-container version is also available to ensure the perfect fit for your specific gear. Unobstructed Opening Technology Safety is defined by the quality of the deployment. The Charly inner container features a separate compartment for the lines, ensuring the canopy is only released once the lines are fully stretched. Reduces Malfunctions: Minimises the risk of the canopy getting caught in the paraglider. Controlled Deployment: Ensures the lines deploy first, followed by a clean inflation of the canopy. Precision Handling: A short connection between the deployment handle and the inner container allows for a more accurate throw in your chosen direction. Engineering Excellence and Technical Precision The Second Chance is designed with a focus on minimum weight and a small pack size, without compromising the structural integrity required for a high-speed deployment. Its classic pulled-apex round design ensures excellent pendulum stability during descent. Key Pilot Benefits Proven Reliability: Numerous successful real-world deployments make this the benchmark for emergency parachutes. Superior Fabric Quality: Uses ultra-fine woven fabrics that are light and compact yet robust enough to handle high maximum loads. Simple Maintenance: The straightforward design allows for easy repacks that pilots can perform themselves. German Engineering: Balances an affordable price point with the high manufacturing standards of Finsterwalder-Charly. Technical Specifications Constructed from high-quality materials, the Second Chance is available in three sizes to suit your specific take-off weight: Size (Max Load) Weight Volume Surface Area 86 kg 1.56 kg 4.22 Litres 28 m² 94 kg 1.62 kg 5.62 Litres 32 m² 118 kg 1.92 kg 7.28 Litres 36 m² Frequently Asked Questions Is the Charly Second Chance (Round) compatible with my harness? Yes, it is designed to fit all current harness models. Because the container is optimised for integrated compartments, it eliminates the common deployment problems found with large-volume reserves in smaller harness slots. Why is the separate line compartment important? It prevents "line-over" malfunctions. By keeping the lines separate from the fabric until the last moment, the canopy inflates cleanly and only after the lines have reached full tension. Does Fly2Base ship reserves internationally? Absolutely. We offer worldwide shipping on all our safety gear. We ensure your reserve is packed securely so it arrives ready for installation. Can I order multiple units for a flight school or club?
