PARAGLIDING
TAKE OFF
As this is not a training manual, we will not try to teach you launching techniques. We will only briefly go through the different launch
techniques to help you get the most out of your glider.
LAYOUT
Pre-flight check should be done before every flight.
Spread the glider on the ground. Spread the lines, dividing them into groups A, B, C and brake lines left and right. Make sure the lines
are free and not twisted or knotted. Make sure all the lines are on top of the glider and none are caught on vegetation or rocks under the
glider. Lay out the glider in a horseshoe shape. This method ensures that all the lines are equally tensioned on launch, and results in an
even inflation. The Flexon rib reinforcements will keep the leading edge open for easy inflation.
