Stand 03.11.2001
Congratulations and thank your for choosing the Firebird HORNET paraglider. Our
team can assure you of the quality and characteristics of the glider and will guarantee
you safe and successful flights. The HORNET has been designed after years of gliding
experience, advanced research and product development. Its perfection, even into the
smallest detail, is a result of a wide range of testing and simulation.
The HORNET combines exceptional handling with an unrivalled feeling of safety,
confidence and responsiveness. Enhanced through its high stability and safety which
fullfill DHV standards for intermediate pilots (DHV-2), flying this canopy becomes
and absolute delight for advanced, recreational and long-distance pilots. We have
created an innovative quality product for our customers which allows pilots to enjoy
developing their flying potential.
You and your HORNET will experience a new aspect of flying beyond your
expectations.
This manual will help you enjoy your new glider, giving you a greater understanding
of how it performs in most circumstances and how to care for its long-life. It was put
together with thought and care for new owners. Therefore we ask every pilot to study
the manual before your first flight with the HORNET. If you would like to know more,
then please do not hesitate to contact your nearest dealer or Firebird directly. We will
gladly help out in any way we can. You are as important to us as our staff and any
feedback that you may have will be gladly received.
The FIREBIRDS
