Setting the Speed System
We recommend that the OMEGA XALPS 3 speed system is correctly
adjusted before your first flight . When doing this you must confirm that
the full range of the speed system travel can be used . The OMEGA
XALPS 3 suspension system has Brummel hooks on the riser speed li-
nes which connect to those on the harness .
Caution:
The speed system is correctly adjusted when you can
use the full travel available on the risers . Make certain that the
speed lines are not set too short, thus causing the wing to be
pre-accelerated all the time!
Weight range
The weight ranges for the two different sized gliders are given in the
“Technical Data” section . The figures given here apply to total in-flight
weight . This includes everything that will be flying – pilot weight, clo-
thes and all equipment (paraglider, harness, reserves, instruments etc .) .
Flight at the lower or upper ends of a weight range can have some ef-
fect on the glider’s flying behaviour, but does not affect your safety .
