Trim-Check:
After around 30 to 50 flight hours we recommend doing a trim-check
– only lines are measured
and if needed trimmed.
In general, all kind of materials and all kind of paragliders are affected by forces and other
influences. Especially within the first hours of flights the glider and its materials are setting.
That’s why we recommend doing a trim -check to ensure the best performance and speed on
your wing.
Our experiences have shown us that after this setting time (after around 30-50 hours) lines are
not moving or changing length anymore.
The total line length documents for each size of the UFO 2 are found in the annex.
Ground-handling times must be multiplied by factor of 2 due to the greater contact with
abrasive surfaces.
Respecting nature and environment:
Finally, we would ask each pilot to take care of nature and our environment. Respect nature
and the environment at all times but most particularly at take-off and landing places.
Respect others and paraglide in harmony with nature.
Do not leave marked tracks and do not leave rubbish behind.
Do not make unnecessary noise and respect sensitive biological areas.
The materials used on a paraglider should be recycled.
Please send old AIRDESIGN gliders back to us AIRDESIGN offices. We will undertake to recycle
the glider.
10. The Final Word
The UFO 2 will give you hours of fun and satisfaction in the air. We wish you lots of good
flights.
Treat your glider well and have respect for the demands and dangers of flying.
We ask all pilots to fly with care and to respect the national and international laws with regard
to our sport.
SEE YOU IN THE SKY!
