EONA glider user’s manual

Introduction

Advice

Caution !

Danger !!

Welcome to the world of free flying : a shared world of passion.

The EONA wing is a glider meeting all the students and instructors requirements. It was designed for both intensive schooling and private 
use while providing great inflight comfort all along the pilot's progression curve. The well though out design and choice of materials were 
guided by the same quality and longevity objectives.

The EONA glider is EN 

EN 926 -1 : 2006 & 926 - 2 : 2013 Classe A

. Certified.

Meaning that this paragliding wing has a maximal passive safety margin built-in in addition to being forgiving and collapse resistant in 
turbulent aerology.
It is naturally adapted to all flying levels including beginner pilots.

It can be used with most harnesses found on the market today. For better inflight comfort and sensations we will advise you to choose 
the SUP'AIR progression harness models.

After reading this manual we advise you to inflate & check your wing on a training hill first.
