Rucksack
All Gin gliders are delivered with a rucksack specially designed for keeping your equipment
steady on your back for ergonomic carrying comfort and ease of use. There are both internal
and external compression straps. Properly tightened, they keep the bag from bouncing against
your lower back when walking. There are also two storage pockets for all those small things...
Unpacking
Slip the glider out of the storage bag and take the velcro compression band off. Note the
way we pack our gliders at the factory (see also packing instructions). We recommend you
unpack and inflate your glider on a small training hill, or even flat ground, when doing so for
the first time. It is important to get a feel for the glider’s behaviour during launch and take-off.
There is nothing worse than the stress of a crowded take-off and new equipment for things to
go wrong. Some test pilots spend hundreds of hours every year just ground handling gliders in
the wind on flat ground.
Preparation for launch
Lay the glider out, get the lines and risers sorted out. Connect the risers to your harness
karabiners. We recommend a thorough line check in all wind conditions, but take some extra
care on nil-wind take-offs to ensures the lines cannot become tangled during launch.
