simultaneously lifting the A risers (do not pull them towards you)
will make the paraglider rise.
When it arrives over your head, stabilize it with the brakes, check
again if all
lines are clear and the cells inflated.
When turning into wind, remember to turn the right way
(hint: always do it the same direction) and to keep the lines strained
at all times. The turn itself should be quick and smooth. While
turning you have to release the brake handles and grip them again
facing forward, so that again the left one is in the left hand etc. Last
check of the wing & free space to launch and off you go, running
into wind with eventual light braking when taking off.
Remember!
When deflating the canopy in strong winds (e. g. aborting a
launch), use the C risers, not the brakes. Using the brakes in strong
wind can lift the pilot up and drag him/her back.
Caution:
When clipping in the crossed risers, you can find
proper connection of the speed system particularly hard. Be
careful not to confuse the risers!
Caution:
During start, especially winched or with a motor,
always remember to bring the wing directly over your head.
The aerofoil and its angle of attack were arranged so as to
give maximum lift coefficient with relatively high safety level.
As a result it can stay behind a pilot, if he neglects bringing it
directly over head during launch.
Flight
The increased speed range of Universal (in case of trimmers
operation) may demand some attention in flight. Nevertheless,
once you have mastered these additional assets, flying will become
pure fun. Good handling will let you make best use of thermals,
and increased speed on transitions means that your presence in
sinking air will be shorter. To avoid stalls when braking with closed
trimmers, their movement is restricted by the tape sewing.
Turns
Universal 1.1 is an agile wing, with smooth reactions to all pilot’s
actions. Handling is actually easy and forces grow proportionally to
position of the brakes. Adding some weight shift will make the
paraglider turn really quick and tight.
