4. SETTING UP THE NAJA AND TEST-FLYING
4.1 Laying out the paraglider and pre-flight check
Tip
Before your first flight with the NAJA, we strongly recommend that you first suspend
yourself with the whole propulsion unit on a stationary device or framework, to check
whether you are able to reach the brakes and to fine-tune the harness adjustment.
Ideally this should be done under the supervision of a flying instructor or, failing that, at
least with a very experienced paramotor pilot.
Place the paraglider with its upper surface against the ground and spread it out so that
the leading edge is slightly curved.
Carefully separate all the rigging-lines and take care that no lines are underneath the
canopy, tangled or caught up in any way.
The NAJA can be reverse-launched easily with a wind speed of just 3 m/s.
Before launching, always check the following:
1) Are there any tears in the glider or other damage?
2) Have all the lines been untangled?
3) Are the brake lines clear and tightly connected to the handle?
4) Are the brake lines properly adjusted?
5) Are the quick links fastened securely to the lines and to the risers?
6) Is the canopy dry?
7) Are the risers and seams in good condition?
8) Is the harness in good condition?
9) Is the handle for the reserve chute secure?
10) Was the pre-flight check on the propulsion unit carried out?
