sure the canopy is overhead, open up full power and lean back to counter
the engine thrust, so that it can push you forward rather than towards the
ground. The best option is not to use the brakes, allowing the paraglider to
rise as it was laid out. If it starts to swerve from its course, just pull the
opposite riser and run under the centre of the wing while preserving starting
direction. If the wind suddenly drops, give a stronger pull on the risers. If the
paraglider falls to one side or back too far to be lifted again - kill the engine,
interrupt launch and check the conditions once again.
As the wing rises, the forces grow lighter and it should stabilise above your
head without overshooting. This is the best moment to check if it is inflated
well and the lines are not tangled, but do so neither stopping nor turning.
Once you feel the forces on the risers decrease, run faster and let go of the
risers. See if there is already any opposition on the brakes and, if necessary,
use them to correct direction or to increase lift at take-off.
Remember:
+
If the cage of your power unit is not stiff enough, the risers strained
during launch can deform it to the extent of collision with the propeller.
Before giving it full power, see that the cage does not catch any lines.
+
Any brake operation (or steering inputs in general) should be smooth
and gentle.
+
Do not try to take off until you have your wing overhead. Hitting power
before that can cause dangerous oscillations.
+
Do not sit in the harness until you are sure you are flying!
+
The faster the trim setting is, the more brake input is required to take off.
+ The lower the hangpoints of your power unit are, the easier is the
launch.
Reverse launch in strong wind
Reverse launch can be executed holding in one hand both A risers and one
brake, with throttle and the second brake in the other hand. With a decent
wind it is by far the best way. In weaker wind it is better to prepare a classic
launch, as running backwards with an engine on your back is not an easy
thing to do.
It is reasonable not to pull the wing up until you are really determined to
launch, especially when it is clipped in.
Lay down the rolled paraglider with its trailing edge against the wind. Unfold
the wing enough to find the risers and check that no lines are looped over
the leading edge. Stretch the risers against the wind, separating the right
and left one.
We suggest that you lay the risers in the same way as you will be turning
