4. Flight Characteristics

This manual is not intended as an instruction book on how to fly the EPIC MOTOR. You should be a qualified pilot or
under suitable supervision, but the following comments describe how to get the best from it.

Weight range

Each size of the EPIC MOTOR is certified for a certain weight range. The weight refers to the ‘overall take-off weight’.

The ‘In-flight weight range for free-flight’ is for the pilot, paraglider, harness and other equipment carried when free-
flying. The paraglider is EN/LTF certified for this weight range.

The ‘extended weight range for PPG’ allows for all of the above, plus the paramotor and a full tank of fuel. It is the
weight range approved by DGAC for flying under power.

We recommend the EPIC MOTOR is flown in the middle of the weight range.

If you fly the EPIC MOTOR in the lower half of the weight range, the turning agility decreases and the glider will be
more damped. In strong turbulence the wing tends to deform and to collapse slightly more than with a higher wing
loading. Only fly the EPIC MOTOR lightly loaded if you fly in aerologically stable conditions, such as in the morning or
evening.

If you fly the EPIC MOTOR in the upper half of the weight range, the agility and the stability in turbulence will
increase. Also the speed will increase slightly. The self-damping will decrease in turns, as well as after collapses.
