First flights
In order to get familiar with your wing we recommend at first flying
with the trimmers in slow positions (trims closed or slightly opened 2-
3 cm), since in this configuration the Warp behaves as a classic wing.
Once you feel confident with your wing, you can start experimenting
with faster trim settings and speed system. Use all additional speed
and vigor of the Warp.
Caution: Before each launch it is necessary to have a
thorough check of the paraglider, harness and power unit.
Classic launch with no wind
Even when it seems that there is no wind at all, it is rarely so.
Therefore always be careful in determining the conditions, since in
PPG flying it is most important that the launch and initial climb are
performed with a head wind (the danger of losing your airspeed
while steep crossing of the wind gradient is greatly reduced then).
Special attention must be paid to trees, power lines and other
obstacles, including the possibility of emerging rotors.
Preparing the canopy
Lay out the paraglider downwind of the power unit, with all
suspension lines taut and pointing toward center of the power unit.
The risers are to be laid on the ground. Trimmers must be opened at
least 3 cm (trimmer scale is marked every three cm). In strong
conditions faster settings can be advised. Make sure that you warm
up the engine while standing windward of the wing. Stop the engine
before clipping in the risers. Now run the pre-launch checklist.
See if:
<
the helmet is on and locked,
<
the risers are clipped in the carabiners,
<
the trimmers are properly set,
<
nothing will get in propeller's way,
<
speed system is running without problems,
<
steering lines and handles are free and not twisted,
<
the engine delivers full power,
<
the take off area is clear of obstacles and free to use.
When you are sure everything is OK, you can clip the risers in the
paramotor’s harness.
