thoroughly trained operator.
DOUBLE SEATER OPERATION
The APAX is not approved to operate with a double seater device.
AEROBATICS
Look up the laws in your country about aerobatics with a glider. Aerobatics are
flight configurations with a tendency of more than 135 degrees of the canopy
(transverse axis or longitudinal axis). The APAX isn´t developed and tested for
aerobatics. The pilot is in risk of life if he is doing aerobatics. There is the risk of
uncalculated flight situations which can cause damage of material or structural
failure.
PACKING INSTRUCTION
Although the plastic rods used in the sail have been selected for their excellent
recovery characteristics and, in the worst case, can be replaced, we recommend
keeping them in their best condition by packing your glider concertina style. Pack
your glider so that the plastic rods lie as flat as possible on each other and there
is no unnecessary bending or twisting of the rods. Fasten any straps or bands by
pulling gently. Do not over tighten. Tight packing of the glider is not good for
the material. You should pack the glider as loose as possible and take care that
the glider is only gently folded, not bended or strongly compressed.
HOW TO PACK
Either you can pack the glider in its provided fast-pack sack or like the following
method of packing:
1.
Spread out the paramotor glider completely on a smooth surface.
2.
All the ribs on one side are placed one on top of one another, so that the
leading edges are not bend.
3.
Then continue as in the second step, placing the leading edges of the other
side on top of the next until you reach the tip of the glider. Place the
