clear and the cells inflated.
When turning into wind, remember to turn
the right way (hint: always do it the same
direction) and to keep the lines strained at
all times. The turn itself should be quick
and smooth. While turning you have to
release the brake handles and grip them
again facing forward, so that again the left
one is in the left hand etc. Last check of the
wing & free space to launch and off you go,
running into wind with eventual light
braking when taking off.
Remember:
When deflating the canopy in
strong winds (e. g. aborting a launch), use
the C risers, not the brakes. Using the
brakes in strong wind can lift the pilot up
and drag him/her back.
Caution:
When clipping in the crossed
risers, you can find proper connection of
the speed system particularly hard. Be
careful not to confuse the risers!
