Preflight check and maintenance
It is important to check all paragliding equipment thoroughly before every flight to see
if it has any defects. Also check the paraglider after long flights and after long storage.
check thoroughly:
All seams of the harness, of the risers and of the reserve bridle.
>
That all connecting parts, maillons and carabiners are closed.
>
The brake-line knots on both sides and follow the brake-line to the top.
>
All the other lines from riser to canopy.
>
All the line attachment points at the canopy.
>
If the top or bottom of the wing are damaged or perished.

The POISON is equipped with the trend-setting Jet-Flap system, just like the MESCAL
and TEQUILA. Air is conducted from the bottom sail (pressure area) to the top sail (low-
pressure area) and is blown out there with higher speed. The connection is established
through jet shaped channels, which are located in the rear section of the wing.
When increasing the angle of attack the danger of airflow interruption and subsequent
stalling is minimized.
Results: the constant airflow delays the stall even at great angles-of-attack, the flyable
minimum speed is lowered and the pilot has a higher incidence range. This is of great
importance, especially during starting and landing.
The Jet-flaps help for an extraordinary climbing performance. You don‘t need any
special knowledge to have control of the flap system, the use of a Jet-Flap paraglider is
the same as a conventional glider.
