Parachutal
Full-stall
If the paramotor wing is wet or the regular inspections weren’t made, the
risk of a parachutal flight exists.
In all extreme collapses remember: switch off the engine or with motor idling
and don´t apply power.
This paramotor wing does not have parachutal flight tendencies and recovers on
its own from an intentional parachutal flight induced by braking commands. In
case of a parachutal flight after an extreme situation loose the brakes and use the
accelerator. Before using the brakes again make sure that the glider flies normally.
The Runner XC has a long way on the brakes before he enters a full-stall. A full-
stall happens if the brakes are pulled symmetrically and excessively downwards.
Normally the paramotor wing starts to fly backwards and deforms to a horseshoe,
the opening on the front.
Before terminating the canopy must be stabilized. Afterwards both brake lines have to
be loosened symmetrically and slowly, to avoid that the canopy kicks forward.
In all extreme collapses remember: switch off the engine or with motor idling
and don´t apply power.
Negative spiral
The Runner XC has a long way on the brakes and difficulties to enter in a negative
spiral. But if one of the brakes is extremely pulled downwards it can happen.
The side with the brake pulled down enters in a stall, while the other side maintains
open. In this case the brake must be loosened at once, before the paramotor wing
turns 180º, in order to get the paramotor wing back to normal flight. Depending on
the situation in which the brake is loosened, the canopy can react quite dynamic and
kick forward provoking a collapse.
In all extreme collapses remember: switch off the engine or with motor idling
and don´t apply power.
