IN CLOSING - A FEW FINAL WORDS ON YOUR SAFETY
-
UL flying is an active air sport with associated risks. Your safety can be greatly
enhanced by following a few simple rules:
- Your wing 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 wing you should consult your dealer or
Aeros for advice.
-
Only fly after having attended a good school.
- Fly a wing suited to your level of ability. A new risk may arise when you first fly a new
type of the wing.
-
The reactions of your new wing may well differ from those of the wing you where used
to. In order to keep this risk low, we recommend that you gradually become familiar with
your new wing.
- 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!
- Take special care to avoid ice covering the glider, particularly the leading edge in
wintertime.
-
A wet wing must be dried before storing. Do not leave your glider wet for more than one
day, because corrosion may result.
- Never fly alone.
-
Don’t push your luck. It is your responsibility to know the limits of your wing and the
limits of your own experience. Remember, that ultimately your safety is your
responsibility.
- Fly only in places, which are suitable for flying.
-
With proper care and maintenance, your wing will retain a high level of airworthiness for
many years.
Have fun. Fly safely.
