3 - Handling of the Macfly powered-paraglider
The Macfly frame is made of titanium material which combines the lightness of aluminium and the
resistance of stainless steel. Grade 2 titanium was chosen in order to be TIG welded if needed.
Nevertheless, you’ll have to equip with a special welding rod that Macfly can provide you.
Your cage is composed of 4 parts, fixed on the frame. Begin the assembly with the 2 quarters of the lower
cage, assemble the parts and fasten the velcro straps (2 for each lower cage quarter)
Set up the supporting arch of the upper frame, then
the 2 quarters of the upper cage, without forgetting
the hand starter shackle on the upper part, between
the 2 cages. You can also fix this shackle to the tita-
nium buckles welded on the upper part of the frame.
Then, finish fastening the Velcro straps.
There is an additional Velcro strap on the
side of the throttle handle, to prevent it
from getting through the 2 cages and to
avoid contact with the propeller.
