Check list

Glider

- Glider without damage

- Riser without damage and not hung twisted

- Linen locks firmly screwed

- Lines without damage

- Carabiner closed correctly

8.2 Start

The RelaX is easy to start. The trimmer can also be open when starting, depending on the conditions. 

The trim´s should be symetrical adjusted.

When the trimmers are fully closed, the glider is in trim position.

The further the trimmers are opened, the higher the overshoot tendency. 

Also increases thereby the speed of departure and rolling distance.

8.3 Straight Flight

The speed in trim position is (depend on the load) 50km / h. In quiet air, the RelaX achieves 

the minimum speed with 50-60 cm brake line operation.

In turbulent air we recommend to keep the brakes 5-15 cm pulled. This makes it difficult to undercut the cap.

All cm specifications apply from the moment when the brake lines begin to grip.

8.4 Accelerated Flight

When the trimmer system is activated, the angle of attack changes. The speed increases up to 15 km / h. 

With opened trimmers, the cap is more unstable and collapses lighter and heavier.

For safety reasons, the trimmers should be closed in case of turbulence. Never let the brake handles out of your hand.

Actuating the control lines should always be done carefully with the trimmer open. The brake line operation should 

be reduced to a minimum length.

If the paraglider collapses once, the acceleration system must be deactivated immediately. 

The paraglider then has to be stabilized via the brake lines.

8.5.Turning Flight´s

The RelaX is very agil, especially at high load. Brake pulses are converted directly without delay.

Excessive brake operation may cause a stall. Especially under full throttle or flying into a thermals
