Description of your flying equipment
The freeX MANX has successfully passed the most stringent test
worldwide and achieved the German DHV-Gütesiegel registration
with LTF 1.
It is suitable for flight training and for the less experienced pilot.
The only frequently flying leisure pilot will also find a perfectly
suited glider in the MANX. It’s uncomplicated flight behaviour
allows you to adjust quickly to your new glider. Thus, you can
begin to benefit from the Manx high performance potential early
on, and can set higher goals for all flights.
Even the experienced pilot will derive sheer pleasure from the
MANX. Its great speed range and high performance potential,
combined with its direct and easy handling make the MANX the
perfect partner for excellent results and more flying fun.
Before starting, however, it is important from the standpoint of
safety that you get sufficiently familiar with your new equipment
by reading this manual and by spending time with your glider on a
practice hill. We particularly urge you to make use of the chapter
dealing with Possibilities for adjustment.
The MANX is the result of a complex development by the freeX-
development team, while integrating latest findings in paragliding
aerodynamics and material studies. The outcome is a fast, stable
entry level glider of the highest quality, which couldn't be easier to
launch, is stable when aloft and sets new standards in handling
and flight performance.
With your MANX you have purchased a glider which is made
according to the latest level of technology, and the dimensions of
which fulfil the harshest demands in all aspects.
