Cheetah 160 Owner’s Manual
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of an Avian Cheetah. The Cheetah represents the state of the art in high
performance, kingpost-less design. We hope that you will experience many hours of safe and enjoyable
flying on your new hang glider.
This manual is designed to help you get the most out of your Cheetah. Please read this manual completely
before flying, check all your battens against the batten profile (adjusting them if necessary) and do a
thorough pre-flight check including checking the operation of the VB. This is especially important if
instruments are attached to the right hand (VB.) upright. (See page 12 'VB.' and page 21 'Trouble
Shooting.')
Please make sure your first flight on your new glider is in perfect conditions from a site that you are
familiar with. If you are uncertain, or have any problems with your glider,
DO NOT FLY . We have a
section on trouble shooting in this manual that features some of the more common problems that pilots
have encountered, and our recommended solutions. If you are still not sure contact your local dealer or the
Avian factory.
PLEASE NOTE
Avian Ltd does not have commercial product liability insurance.
Avian hang gliders are built using materials and fittings to the industry standard or better. Avian hang
gliders are subject to Avian quality control and testing prior to delivery to the customer.
Once possession of the glider passes to the customer, its maintenance and condition becomes the
responsibility of the owner or pilot. Any concerns or queries about the glider's subsequent airworthiness
MUST be referred back to the local dealer or the Avian factory.
Hang gliders must be:
·
stored correctly
·
treated with respect
·
checked before take off and after heavy landings
·
flown within their flight envelopes
·
regularly maintained
Failure to do any of these courts disaster.
Look after your aircraft!!
