Connecting the glider
Opening the wing
Without twisting the risers, connect them to the harness connection loops using the self-locking cara-
biners. Check for the risers to be properly positioned and untwisted. The "A" risers must be located at
the front and facing the flight direction( see schematic ). Lastly, check for the main self-locking carabi-
ners to be fully closed and locked in place.
Choosing an adapted harness
Choose a flat or lightly angled training hill without obstacles or wind. Open your wing and arrange it in a
crescent shape. Check the fabric and the lines for any sign of wear or damage.
Check for the links connecting the lines to the risers to be fully closed.
Identify, separate and arrange the A,B.C, risers as well as the brake lines neatly. Knots or tangles can
not be present.
The BIRDY glider was certified EN B with a EN1651 & LTF certified harness and hence can be flown with
most harnesses models found on the market today. Meaning that it can be flown with most harnesses
models found on the market today. We wil advise you to choose a EN1651 and or LTF certified harness
with a built-in dorsal protection system.
Connecting the wing to the harness
It is advised to adjust the harness's chest strap width based on your
wing size :
40 cm for a BIRDY size XS
42 cm for a BIRDY size S
44 cm for a BIRDY size M
46 cm for a BIRDY size ML
48 cm for a BIRDY size L
Install the accelerator according to your harness manufacturer's
recommendations. Connect it to the wing using the split hooks.
Once the accelerator/speedbar is connected, adjust its length
according to your measurements. For correct use, there must
not be any tension at the split-hook level when the accelerator/
speedbar line is relaxed.
