Pilot’s manual BiGolden2 Version no. 1, from 27.4.2009
3. CERTIFICATION
Paraglider BiGolden2 has passed European certification EN in category B in
both sizes 38 and 42. The EN certificate of each BiGolden2 is to be found on the
rib in the middle of canopy.
NOTICE:
Paraglider BiGolden2 is constructed for hill or tow
launches. Use of subsidiary motor has not been tested for by the
manufacturer or by the DHV!
THIS GLIDER IS NOT MEANT FOR JUMPING FROM
A PLANE, BALLOON OR FOR JUMPS WITH A
BELATED OPENING OF THE CANOPY!
4. ADJUSTING YOUR GLIDER
Every BiGolden2, before it is given to a customer, goes through a final check-up
and test-flight to verify that its characteristics and measurements correspond to
the manufacturer's specifications. You may only make adjustments to the break
line lengths and only then in keeping with the recommendations of this manual.
Other adjustments or changes to your BiGolden2 lead to a loss of guarantee,
airworthiness and validity of the European certification - amateur modification
may endanger yourself and other pilots. If you do have any suggestions on
improvements let us know and our test-pilots will try out your ideas without risk
to yourself.
4.1. Brake line adjustment
When you receive your new BiGolden2 the brake line-length is adjusted to be
the same as that used during the tests. This length should suit most pilots and is
indicated on the main control line. It is of course possible to adjust the break line
length to suit each pilot's physical build, height of harness hang points, or style of
flying.
We recommend that you act wisely when adjusting break line length and
change the length in small successive steps.
If you need to adjust brakes back to the basic position and the marks on the
main brake lines are vague, use for BiGolden2 42 lengths 310 cm and for
BiGolden2 38 lengths 297 cm.
