Flight 

 

Best glide: Closed trimmers and slightly pulling down the C-riser (C-bridge). 

 

WARNING: Pulling down the C-riser (C-bridge) or the brake deeply can cause the 
glider to "stall" and take uncontrolled flight manoeuvres. This can lead to life-
threatening flight situations (cascade behaviour)! 

 

WARNING: Never pull down the front risers (A-risers)! This can lead to 
uncontrolled flight manoeuvres and life-threatening flight situations (cascade 
behaviour)! 

 

WARNING: No liability is accepted for any form of acrobatic flight manoeuvres 
with the glider! You are putting yourself in danger of death. When performing 
these manoeuvres, there is a risk of incalculable flying positions which can lead to 
material damage and structural failure! 

 

CAUTION: Due to its small size and aerodynamic construction, especially with 
open trimmers, this aircraft has a very poor glide performance, therefore it loses a 
lot of altitude, especially in turns, and can collapse in turbulence!

 

 

 

Troubleshooting 

 

Canopy malfunctions: Maintain direction with body control and brake 
symmetrically approx. 30% to max. 50%. 

 

Uncontrollable pendulum movements: Maintain direction with body control and 
open the canopy with a deep symmetrical (approx. 30% to max. 50%) brake 
impulse.  

 

Unintentional asymmetric trimmer opening: Balance the open side with the C-
riser (C-bridge) to maintain direction and steer into free and safe airspace before 
closing the trimmer. Always secure the trimmer buckle with finger pressure to 
ensure it closes reliably and firmly. 

 

If the glider pulls in one direction without pilot input, the glider must be checked 
urgently and a symmetry check carried out. 

 

If a line is damaged, it must be replaced immediately with a suitable replacement 
line. .

Warning: NO FRONTRISER TURNS
