use attachment straps that are sufficiently secure to eliminate the possibility of damage from vibration
and movement. Flat straps should be used for tie downs to avoid damage to leading edge Mylar.
Store the glider in a dry room off the ground; air the out regularly to avoid mildew, and never store wet.
If you fly at the costal area or your glide has been exposed to salt water rinse it with tap water thoroughly before
storage. If you fly frequently at the costal area it is necessary to wash the glider with tap water at least once a month
to prevent all aluminum parts from corrosion.
The recommended storage temperature is from +5 to +25° C.
IN CLOSING - A FEW WORDS ON YOUR SAFETY
Hang gliding is an active air sport with associated risks. Your safety can be greatly enhanced by following a few
simple rules:
-
Your glider is delivered to you ready to fly. Do not make any adjustments, which are not described in this
manual.
-
If you are in doubt about any aspect of your glider, you should consult your dealer or Aeros for advice.
-
Only fly after having attended a good school, recognized by your hang gliding federation.
-
Fly a glider suited to your level of ability. A new risk may arise when you first fly a new type of the glider.
-
The reactions of your new glider may well differ from those of the glider you where used to. In order to
keep this risk low, we recommend that you gradually become familiar with your new glider.
-
Before every take-off always do both an assembly check and a pre-flight check.
-
Do not take off if the sail is wet
, especially the leading edge, as the stall speed will increase significantly.
-
Always fly with a dry sail!
-
A wet glider must be dried before storing. Do not leave your glider wet for more than one day, because
corrosion
may result.
-
Never fly alone.
-
Do not attempt towing of any kind, unless you have attended a recognized towing school.
-
Don’t push your luck. It is your responsibility to know the limits of your glider and the limits of your own
experience. Remember, that ultimately your safety is your responsibility.
-
Fly only in places that are suitable for hang gliding.
-
With proper care and maintenance, your glider will retain a high level of airworthiness for many years.
Have fun. Fly safely.
