Specific usage
End of the flight
Your wing was not designed for aerobatic maneuvers.
Repeated practice of said exercise exceeding 4xG (or 2xG if they are asymmetrical) will cause premature aging of your glider and is to be
avoided. “SAT” maneuvers are the most damaging to your equipment.
Aerobatics
The EONA 3 wing can be towed up. Fly only with certified gear operated by qualified personal and only after taking a towing clinic. The towing force
must correspond to the weight of the equipment, and the pulling sequence can only start when the wing is fully
inflated and stable over the pilot's head.
Towing
Be certain to always have enough altitude for a safe landing before approaching the chosen Landing Zone ( PTU, PTS, etc...). Never make aggres-
sive maneuvers close to the ground. Always land into the wind ( upwind ), standing up and ready to run to a stop if necessary. Make your landing
approach with maximum air speed if possible depending on the weather conditions of the moment, then progressively brake to slow the glider to a
final touchdown. Beware not to brake too much, too soon and too rapidly to prevent a possible stall and hard landing.
In case of a landing in sustained higher wind speeds, you will need to quickly turnaround, face the wing, move forward while braking down symme-
trically. You can equally pull the "C" risers down to deflate the glider and bring it to the ground.
Landing
Fold each side of your wing in an accordion-like shape. Stack-up the leading edge reinforcements on top of one another.
Bring one side of the glider over the other while keeping the leading edge reinforcements flat. Roll the wing on itself, starting from the leading edge
toward the trailing edge. During the entire packing procedure, do not bend the leading edge's reinforcements. The COMPACT CASE delivered with
the BIRDY enables you to fold your glider in a concertina style and carry the lot in a small and neat pack.
Folding
