concertina bag underneath the glider which has been folded together, so 
that the ribs are all lying along the length of the concertina bag.

The glider is now folded up along its length, and the leading edges are on 
top  of  each  other  without  having  being  bent.  Fasten  the  straps  near  the 
leading edges, so that they do not slip, and the straps in the middle and at 
the end of the glider 

5.

 

Do up the zip, making sure that none of the lines or fabric is caught in the 
zip 

6.

 

Fold up the glider along its length, if possible with the first fold below the 
leading edge reinforcements. Pay particular care not to bend any of the rigid 
reinforcements! Fold up the glider along its length, with the first fold below 
the leading edge reinforcements. Pay particular care not to bend any of the 
rigid reinforcements! 

 

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

 

Always make sure your glider is completely dry before storageDo not store 
your glider for a prolonged period if it is sandy, salty or if other objects have 
entered the cells
. Store your glider in a dry place out of direct heat and away 
from chemicals or small animals
. If you intend to store your glider for a long 
period, we recommend storing it loosely. 
If you store it for a longer time the temperature should lay between 10°C and 25° 
C(50-77°F). The air humidity should be between 50 to 75%. 
Transport the glider with an appropriate bag. 

FABRIC 

Care is essential to ensure that the fabric and glider remain durable and retain 
their qualities. The glider should therefore be protected from unnecessary UV light. 
Do not unpack your glider until immediately before flight and pack it up straight 
after landing. Modern paramotor glider fabrics have better protection against the 
sun, but UV rays in particular are still one of the decisive factors in how the fabric 
ages. The colours will fade first and then the coating and fibres will begin to age. 
When choosing a place to launch, try to find somewhere that is smooth and free 
of stones and sharp objects. Do not stand on the glider. This weakens the fabric, 
especially  if  it  is  on  a  hard  or  stony  surface.  Pay  attention  to  the  behaviour  of 
spectators  at  the  launch  site,  especially  children:  do  not  hesitate  to  draw  their 
attention to the sensitive nature of the fabric. When you are packing up your glider, 
make sure that there are no insects trapped inside. Many insects produce acids 
when they decompose, which can cause holes in the fabric. Grasshoppers make 
holes by biting through the fabric and also excrete a dark liquid that stains. Keep 
animals away when you are packing up. Insects are not attracted by any particular 
colours, contrary to what is commonly believed. If the glider gets wet or damp, it 
should be dried as soon as possible in a well-ventilated room (but out of the sun).
