Spread the wing of the “horseshoe” - the wing center should be further from the pilot than
the tips.
To take off the “alpine” start, you need to pull the straps of A-risers and put the wing in a
position vertically above the pilot.
As soon as the wing reaches this position, make sure that the space before the start is
free and begin an energetic take-off to the point of separation.
For the “reverse” start, turn your face to the wing and lift it in this position. To compensate
for the draft of the wing during the ascent, it is necessary to deflect the hull backwards.
In a strong wind you need to be ready to take a few quick steps to the wing. When the wing
is overhead, run vigorously to break away from the ground.
