Preparation
This manual only covers basic and product-specific aspects of
flying technique. It cannot and should not replace thorough flight
training by an authorized paragliding school! Such training is an
essential prerequisite for safely piloting a paraglider, this is also
the case for flying the MANX.
Choosing an appropriate, obstacle-free launch site is an
important factor for a safe and successful launch. The site should
be wide enough to allow plenty of clearance for the initial run in
headwind and the possibility of aborting the launch.
First, the MANX is pulled out of its protective stuff-sack and laid
out. Cell openings should be facing up and form a clear arc or
crescent so that all lines create an even pull on the canopy upon
launching.
The lines are now sorted according to line groups, starting down
at the brake along the D, C- and B-lines and from there up to the
A-lines above.
The special geometry of the lines which gives low drag calls for
special care when separating line attachment points (bifurcations)
otherwise you will run the risk of line entanglements and knots.
You must make sure that the riser is not twisted and not looped
through itself. Lines of different groups may not be tangled up
with one another and lines of the same group should not be
twisted: The outer lines of the canopy are also hooked up to the
outside of the line link.
