before first use
Hang up the entire PPG unit with ropes, sit in the harness and ask
someone to pull the risers up. You must make sure that in flight you
will always be able to reach the brake handles, even if the airflow
blows them away.
Being suspended in this way you have a perfect opportunity to
adjust the speed system lines too. The speedbar when not in use
must not pull the lines nor risers. Neither should it be too loose, for
it could then get into rotating propeller.
An additional way to check the whole configuration out is to visit a
take-off site in steady winds of ca. 3 m/s. With the engine off, inflate
the wing and take it up over your head.When it stabilizes, check that
the brakes are completely loose and do not affect the trailing edge.
There should be a spare inch or so before they activate.
Remember that it is always safer to set the margin of play too big
than too small. And, most importantly, the setting must always be
symmetrical.
Caution: Ill-adjusted steering lines can be a reason for wrong
assessment of the canopy state, and/or can cause dangerous
deflations on high speeds when too short.
