Designed for pilots well-practiced in recovery techniques, who fly very actively, have significant
experience of flying in turbulent conditions, and who accept the implications of flying such a
wing.
The TR 27 is generally not suitable for use as a training glider.
Your instructor, dealer or a specialist must test-fly and inspect the paraglider before your first
flight. The test-flight must be recorded on the paraglider information label. Any changes or
improper repairs to this paraglider shall render invalid the certification and warranty.
TR 27, is a C-class (former class 2-3) paraglider with high performance for experienced pilots.
He corresponds a light air sport equipment with less than 120 kg of weight. The precise
handling of the TR 27 delivers an excellent performance in thermals and during transition
time. This is most important for very good flights. We all know that 50% our flight time is spent
in climbing thermals. That´s the reason we invested all we can to create a project who has a
great advantage in this area in comparison with other models of the same class at the market.
SOL Paragliders is known for products with long life, quality and performance. Our research
and test flights are mostly done with canopies for competition and acro-flight. This is a great
base to choose the materials.
The project of TR 27 reduced the weight of the paraglider. We used only WTX40-40 Gr/m2 to
produce the glider. Also, we could reduce even more the aerodynamic drag using competition
lines of Vectran and small risers. And of course, we designed the glider to not lose any
performance with the years.
We are confident to say, that this paraglider is the best balance at the market between weight,
performance and long life.
Most of the latest harnesses have pulleys for assembling the foot speed system. In the
eventuality the pulleys are not there, it is important to attach such pulleys (sewing them) in
such way to make the operation of the speed system softer.
The little chord on the speed system must be firmly attached (by a non-slippery knot) to the
stirrup (aluminum bar). The other end of the cable is fed through the harness’ pulleys and
comes out vertically, and firmly attached to a Quick Link with a strong coil, a quick hook-up or
preferably closed by a nut.
The TR 27 was tested with a harness LTF Type GH. Any harness of type ABS are recommended
for the TR 27, tested with large clips set at 42 cm and 47 cm heights from the board, depending
on the harness size. Care must be taken because the large clips height affects the brake position
when set at ‘normal’.
The regulated distance between the large clips (adjustable at the chest) is 42 cm for the
paraglider size “S” and “M”, 44cm for size “L” and 46 cm for size “XL”. Variations of more
than 5 cm above these ones will alter the fundamental characteristics of the canopy and are
potentially dangerous.
SOL Paragliders give free together all gliders and harnesses, a Measuring Tape “Easy Check” to
help pilots to check the distance between carbines.
The measurement must be made at the points indicated in the foto:
To adjust the Speed System, we suggest that you connect the harness and the risers together,
suspended from the ground. Ask a friend to pull the risers ‘A’ upwards. Currently, adjust the
length right to the bar in such way to be easily reachable with your feet in flight and by stretching
the legs, make sure to allow for a clear path to maximize the accelerator usage.
The pilot activates the speed system by pushing the stirrup forward. The pulleys on the risers
reduce to 2/3 the necessary energy and the risers at the front are shortened. Before takeoff,
the Quick Hook-Up or the Quick Link must be connected at the ring on the speed system risers.
It is important to note that the little chord must run free of snags. The rubbing with the risers
may cause damage.
The Paraglider has no further technical parts that can be adjusted.

BEFORE THE FIRST FLIGHT
•
In incorrect system assembly, that allows for different measurements other than the
indicated above nullifies the certification!
•
Remember that when using the speed system, the angle of attack decreases which may
result in the collapse of the paraglider, consequently, the use of the speed system close
to the ground should be avoided. We do not recommend the use of the speed system in
turbulent conditions.
•
Never use the speed system in extreme maneuvers.
•
In the event the canopy collapses, release the stirrup immediately and make the appropriate
corrections.
• Never let go of the toggles!
•
Cross straps may jeopardize flying and do not improve safety.
