Operation
It’s pilot responsibility to choose a canopy matching his skills.
Dudek Paragliders cannot take responsibility for a wrong choice,
but we are always ready to advise you – just contact us.
Weight range
Each size of the canopy is certified for specific weight range,
meaning total take-off weight including the pilot, harness,
equipment and the canopy itself.
We advise flying the paraglider in the middle of weight range.
However, if you most often fly in weak winds you can consider
flying in lower part of the weight range, and in higher part when in
strong winds.
CAUTION:
Check your real take-off weight! Some pilots
calculate their take-off weight by just summing up catalogue
numbers, e.g.: harness 5 kg + canopy 6 kg + pilot 89 kg =
ca. 100 kg. In reality your actual take-off weight can be
umpteen kilograms more. Most often we forget the clothing,
electronics, backpacks, sometimes even such basic things
like fuel or rescue chute weight are omitted!
What harness?
You can use any certified harness which has its hangpoints at 40-45
centimeters from the seatplate.The width between carabiners
should be somewhere between 37 cm and 45 cm.
CAUTION:
Please note that any modification of seat/hang
point distance changes the position of the brakes as related
to pilot's body. You must remember that in each harness
your steering range will be different.
SPEED SYSTEM
Optic 2 Light is as standard equipped with a speed system. It
consists of a cord sewn into the A riser, leading through two pulleys
and finished with a loop and a hook. His is where you attach the
speedbar cord.
The speed system affects A (including A’) and B risers. Pressing the
speedbar shortens first the A risers, before first use then gradually
the A’ i B. C riser retains its original length.
CAUTION:
Ill-adjusted speed system renders the
certification invalid!
