12 STORAGE
When the glider is not in use, the glider should be stored in a cool, dry place. A wet glider
should first be dried (out of direct sunlight). Protect the glider against sunlight (UV
radiation). When on the hill keep the glider covered or in the bag. Never store or transport
the glider near paint, petrol or any other chemicals.
13 DAMAGE
Using spinnaker repair tape (for non-siliconized cloth) can repair tears in the wing (up to
5cm). A professional repairer should repair greater damage.
14 GENERAL ADVICE
A qualified person or agent of the company should check the glider every year.
The glider is carefully manufactured and checked by the factory. Never make changes to
the wing or the lines. Changes can introduce dangerous flying characteristics and will not
improve flying performance.
Do not put the glider in direct sunlight when not necessary. In order to protect the glider
during transportation or waiting time we recommend one of our lightweight storage bags.
If you have any doubts about flying conditions - do not begin.
If you have any questions, please contact your dealer or us.
Lastly, be equipped with a certified emergency parachute and helmet on every flight.
