General Information
The Flyke is smaller than regular trikes. Otherwise it wouldn’t fit to the width of sideways. If
the paraglider pulls to the side the Flyke can easier roll over than wider standard trikes.
Therefore it is necessary to keep the paraglider more or less vertical above the Flyke, and to
let it not pull more than 30° to the side.
The „Power-Steering-System“
If the paraglider moves to the side during it comes up, it must be corrected with the brakes,
and the trike must be steered under the paraglider. This is only possible if the ground speed of
the trike is high enough. So the maximum wind speed must be much smaller than the take-off
speed of the used paraglider.
Fresh Breeze recommends to fly only, if the wind speed is slower than 10 km/h. If the
conditions are gusty we don’t recommend flying at all.
Regular paraglider trikes can be steered with the feet during takeoff. If the paraglider goes to
the side the trike can follow. Due to the front drive the Flyke cannot be steered with the feet.
But the hands have to control the paraglider. So Fresh Breeze developed a “Power-Steering-
System”. The length and the geometry of the push rods are designed to steer the Flyke if the
paraglider pulls to the side. The whole front of the Flyke is pulled to the side as well and
makes the Flyke move to the same side.
As the paraglider provides much more force than required for steering the movement of the
steering system has to be limited by a bungee cord on the left side of the seat. A rope handle is
used to pull the rubber loop around the cap nut.
Well trained pilots may take off without this help, but this requires much experience with the
paraglider as the Flyke follows even the smallest movement of the glider.
Fresh Breeze
recommends to
use always the
rubber loop in the
flight mode.
The „Pulling-up Help“
The Flyke is equipped with the tried and proven “pulling-up help” like it’s predecessor, the
Skip 1.
This makes the take-off procedure much easier as the A-risers must not
be manually shortened by the pilot. When the Flyke starts to roll the
paraglider comes automatically above the Flyke.
For take-off the 6 mm rubber cord must be unhooked and the rising line
must be completely pulled out of the push rods. The stainless steel
carbine must be hooked into the carbine of the A-lines. Check the
clearance of the riser, e.g. it must not run around the throttle cable
