2. Take off
Lay your paraglider out with the leading edge in a horseshoe shape.
Hold the A risers near the quick links and move forward until the slack has been taken out of
the lines. You should now be perfectly centred with your wing.
With no, or light, head wind and the lines tensioned, the METIS 2 inflates rapidly. It is important
that you keep the risers correctly oriented to your body, if too far forward or back you are
unlikely to have a clean inflation.
A controlled inflation allows you to check the wing and lines during the last phase as it comes
up, and thus avoids the need to brake. Depending on the wind conditions or the slope a bit of
brake can allow you to take off more quickly.
Caution: Be sure, the passenger is well instructed and can handle easily the take off manoeuvre.
The pilot also should be well aware of any troubles due to the misbehaviour of the passenger.
