Storage

Avoid packing your glider when it is wet. If there is no other way, then dry it as soon
as possible away from direct sunlight and heat. Be careful to avoid storing your
canopy when damp or wet: this is the most common reason for canopy degradation.

Do not let your glider come into contact with seawater. If it does, rinse the lines,
canopy and risers with fresh water and dry it away from direct sunlight before
storing.

After flight or when storing, always use the inner protection sack (or AIRPack).

When storing or during transport make sure your glider is not exposed to
temperatures higher than 50°C.

Never let the glider come into contact with chemicals. Clean the glider with clean
lukewarm water only. Never clean using abrasives.

For long-term storage do not pack the glider too tightly. Leave the rucksack zip open
when possible to allow any moisture to evaporate.
Transport:
Some materials used in the construction of the glider are sensitive to temperature. Therefore,
the pilot should ensure that the glider is not exposed to excessive heat. For instance, do not
leave the glider in a car during hot summer days.
When packing to send by post use appropriate packing material.
Cleaning:
For cleaning just use only a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use solvents, cleaners or abrasives.
Repairs:
Repairs must be done exclusively by the manufacturer, importer or authorised persons.
Use only original parts.
In case of questions please contact AIRDESIGN directly.
Material wear:
The UFO consists mainly of Nylon cloth.
This material does not lose much strength or become porosity through exposure to UV
radiation. However, despite this, the pilot should take care to not expose the glider
