Line Over
Emergency flying
If the tip of the wing is trapped in lines it could cause a positive spiral, which is difficult
to control. To get out of this situation, first stabilize your wing and get him into normal
flight. In other words control direction. Than pump on the side of the Line Over. During
this procedure lean on the opposite side, otherwise there is a risk to turn or increase the
spiral.
You also may try to pull the stabilo lines SR, the outer lines on the blue riser B, to free the
canopy. Watch out for the brake to avoid a stall on the clean side.
If the Line Over is big and all the counter action does not help and the glider is not to
manage, release the reserve, whilst you are having height enough.
In case of a brake line crack or the brake line is trapped or anything else happened
and doesn’t allow to use the brakes, use the C risers and weight shifting to steer the
glider. Land on the nearest possible side. This situation could happen in case of poor
maintenance of the equipment or an extreme flight situation.
Attention: the steering commands on C risers are much shorter than on the
brake lines.
Origami-Method
There are different ways who can help to extend the life of your paraglider. One way is to
fold the glider right. It’s most important to watch out for the reinforcements to maintain
the take off characteristics and the performance. We are recommending the “Origami
Method” and the use of a Origami-Pack Sack (see below). Together with your glider you
get a traditional pack sack who also protects your glider. How to use it we describe after
the “Origami Method”.
Step 1: Open the origami sack and pull
the partially in. The outside will look like
a cabbage. This way you’re avoiding that
the glider drags over the ground during
folding.
Step 2: Begin with the center of the trailing
edge. Put one profile over the other. Each
side separate.
