Take-off
The design team has strived to produce optimum characteristics for easy inflation in all conditions, whether in light or high winds you will enjoy the
progressive behaviour while launching. However before the first flight, practice ground-handling in order to become familiar with your new glider. It
is possible to inflate with the front- or reverse-launch methods.
Forward launch
In order to inflate the glider, take the A risers in your hands at the maillons and move forward slowly and progressively. Once the glider is above your
head, apply brakes as necessary and perform a visual check before you accelerate for take-off.
Reverse launch
In moderate to high wind speeds, we recommend that you use the reverse launch method in order to facilitate visual control. The pilot should turn
around to face the glider, leaving the passenger facing forward, pull gently on the A risers. After a slight pull to inflate the canopy, move towards
the glider at the appropriate speed in order to prevent any overshooting or dragging. Once the glider has stabilised, the pilot turns around to face
forward and both persons move forward together to take off. Note : it is not necessary to use the A' riser.
Caution
!
Before take-off, always ensure that airspace is clear and conditions are suitable for your level of skill and experience.
Trim position
We recommend to set the trims to " neutral " for take-off, which is identified by the red mark on the strap. However you may adapt the trim position
according to wind strength, the take-off slope or the weight of your passenger.
Note : do not alter the trim position by more than one increment at a time.
