its volume.
- A repair kit with self-adhesive Ripstop tape in the same colour as the
wing and spare parts to protect the maillons.
2. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
2.1 CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOCATION
We recommend unpacking and assembling the wing on a training hill or
a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles. It will help
you to carry out all the recommended steps required to check and inflate
the BI SKIN 2 P.
We recommend the whole installation procedure is supervised by a
qualified professional instructor or official dealer. Only they can address
any doubts in a safe and professional way.
2.2 PROCEDURE
Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open and unfold it on the ground
with the lines positioned on the undersurface, oriented in the direction of
inflation. Check the condition of the fabric and the lines for defects. Pay
attention to the maillons connecting the lines to the risers to make sure
they are fully closed and tightened. Identify, and if necessary untangle, the
A, B, C and D-lines, the brake lines and corresponding risers. Make sure
that there are no knots.
2.3 CONNECTING THE HARNESS
Correctly connect the risers to the spreader bar attachment points so
that the risers and lines are correctly ordered and free of twists.
Check that the carabiners are properly fastened and securely locked.
Next, the pilot’s harness and then the passenger’s harness must be
attached.
2.4 HARNESS TYPE
The pilot should choose the type of harness to use. The BI SKIN 2 P can
be flown with all current harness types, from standard tandem (heavy
duty) harnesses to ultralight models.
2.5 SPEED SYSTEM - TRIMMERS
The BI SKIN 2 P is not fitted with a speed-bar.
The speed system is engaged when the trimmers are opened.
The trimmers are installed in the factory and the pilot only needs to
check their proper operation and adjustment.
The BI SKIN 2P has four risers divided into four line areas. The trimmers
are situated on the D-riser and have a maximum travel of 6 cm. The use
of the trimmers results in changes to the speed and reactions of the
wing.
The pilot is responsible for the trimmer setting.
The trimmer setting and symmetry must be constantly checked during
flight and before every takeoff.
The trimmer system is set by the pilot, i.e. it does not return to its point
of origin, but remains in place until the pilot decides to release/change
the position.
Engaging and releasing the trimmers is effective and quick as well as
sensitive and accurate.
When the trimmer is in the neutral position, the wing will fly at a lower
speed with greater glide; when the trimmer is released, the wing will fly
with higher speed and worse glide.
