When preparing for launch or when ground-handling, be sure not to step on any of
the lines or the canopy fabric.

Don't tie any knots in the lines.
This glider will remain airworthy and in good condition for many years, if well cared for and
packed correctly.
Packing the glider:
It is strongly recommended to concertina pack your glider by folding it rib onto rib, in order to
preserve the shape of the leading edge and therefore help maintain inflation characteristics
and performance.
The RISE3 has nylon rods in the leading edge which cannot break, but if packed badly (bending
during packing) and stored for a long time may deform.
The AirPack inner bag can help you to pack your glider easily and properly.
For details, see the accessories section of the www.ad-gliders.com website.
Packing Recommendations for your AirDesign Glider.
1. Lay the lines / Risers / harness at the trailing edge of the wing. Collect the lines together and
lay them as much as possible on top of the wing fabric. This protects the lines during packing
and storage.
2. Starting either at one tip or at the centre of the wing, gather all the leading edge cell walls
together so that the polyamide rods are side by side.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you pack the glider on rough ground, first gather the wing into a
‘cauliflower’ by pulling in the lines , and then pack the leading edge. Dragging the canopy over
rough ground will damage the fabric.
3. Lay the leading edge flat on the packing bag / AirPack and secure with the strap just below
the end of the polyamide rods.
