After warming up the engine put the power unit on, turn to face
the wing, go to the risers and clip them in the appropriate
carabiners.
Pulling on the front and rear risers open the cells. It is a good idea
to pull up the wing briefly in order to check that the lines are not
tangled. Holding the risers, brakes and throttle as described above,
pull the front risers and inflate the canopy. The Universal 1.1 comes
up easily and sometimes may require a dab on the brakes to stop it
over your head.
Once you have it overhead, turn around, open the throttle and take
off. As with the classic launch, in this case too you have to find such
combination of trimmers, brakes and throttle settings that will give
you the best speed and rate of climb.
Remember:
<
You are launching with your hands crossed. You have to really
master this technique before trying it with a running engine on
your back.
<
Any brake operation (or steering inputs in general) should be
smooth and gentle.
<
Do not try to take off until you have your wing overhead.
Hitting the gas pedal before that can cause dangerous
oscillations.
<
Do not sit in the harness until you are sure you are flying!
<
The faster the trim setting is, the more brake input is required to
take off.
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!
