Keep Glider and lines clean as dirt particles will cause damage. If ines snag on the ground
they can be damaged. Don’t step on the lines! Make sure no forein objects enter the glid-
er, like rocks, sand of snow as it may cause a stall.
Sharp objects will damage the fabric! During high winds if the canopy hits the ground it
can cause internal damage
After landing avoid the glider hitting the ground with the leading edge as this can cause
