Brakes Setup
Brakes setup is a crucial step to use your remote controlled paraglider. Without it, it will be impossi-
ble for you to fly your model.
Before proceeding, unknot the orange brake bridle fixed on the riser’s back ring.
Then, you just have to adjust the brake length ac-
cording to the “two inflating” method in order to
have a total control on the aircraft during the take-
off.
Adjust approximately your brake’s length, in a way
to obtain the same distance on left brake and right
brake, thanks to the black mark on the bridle (this
mark must be at the same height than the last bridle
attachment ring on the riser). Put the backpack in
flight attitude, so the servos, in high position, push-
ing the depth stick.
Then, make a knot in a shoelace style to ensure its
attachment at the arm’s endpoint.
•
FIrst step:
Put the servos in high position and perform an inflat-
ing by pulling the backpack in a horizontal way. If the wing encounters difficulties to inflate, increase brake’s
length until you obtain a satisfactory inflating.
If it inflates without problem, move to the next step.
•
Second step:
Put the arms in low position.
Try to inflate the wing. If it inflates, reduce brake’s length centimeter by centimeter until it can’t inflate any-
more.
If the wing doesn’t inflate, the adjustment is correct.
•
Third step:
During first flight, look if your wing deflect on the left or on the right while pulling simutaneously on both
brakes.
Then, you just have to adjust the concerned brake’s length until you obtain a perfectly rectilinear trajectory.
