contact your local Flight school or Dealer.
laying Out your Wing to Start
We recommend that you first try out your new wing, by first performing some ground
handling excercises or even fly your wing first from a small hill at lower elevations
before attempting a major flight.
Start your SCOTCH.HY wing with your Motor first on your local flight park and in low
wind or optimal weather conditions.
You should lay out your new Wing in that the Leading Edge is lightly arched or
rounded out, and that the wings center be at the highest arch. Then, when starting, pull
first using a light surge, the A Lines in the middle, the wing should then fill itself equally
from the middle to the ends and allow an easy and safe start.
The A, B, C, D level lines should be separated from each other. If the riser is not
crossed over, then the brake lines should be free up through the roller at the riser to
the back of the wing.
All lines must be totally free from each other, and not have any knots or twists or
snaking, of the total line length.
Lines which are knotted, and brought into flight, are very difficult or impossible to free.
The brake lines are the lines always laying on the ground, therefore please be careful
to make sure that the brake lines are free of any entanglements on the ground before
trying to start.
There should never be any lines laying underneath the wing itself. If a line is ever
crossed over the wing, that can have a catastrophic effect on flight.
the Start (Motor and Moutain slope)
The skywalk SCOTCH.HY is very easy to start.
You hold both the A riser Lines and the Brake grips in each of your hands.
For better orientation and control over starts, we have colored the A lines, as well as
the Manschetten Red. The Brake lines are yellow and the brake grip is black.
The Arms are extended outward and back holding the A lines in your hands.
Before starting you must check to make sure your wing is properly layed out, the wind
direction is good, and the airspace you will fly into at start is free.
Holding the Riser riser in your hands, it is best to start by starting your surge forward
by pulling the A Lines equally, and to make sure you are in the middle of your wing.
