Glider categories and guidelines
The complexity of the speedriding glider system means that it is not possible to give any
more than a partial description of the glider’s flight behaviour and reactions to disturbances.
Even a small alteration in individual parameters can result in flight behaviour which is
markedly modified and different from the description given.
WARNING: The descriptions of flight characteristics contained in this Manual are all based
on experiences from the test flights and rides, which were carried out under standardised
conditions. No certification test flights were carried out with the Nano 4.
EN/LTF certification
The Nano 4 fulfils the EN 926-1 requirements and test methods for structural strength. It does
not have EN 926-2 or LTF certification!
Description of flight characteristics
Speedriding gliders are generally much smaller than normal paragliders. This is why their
flight characteristics vary a lot. The Nano 4 is usually flown with wing load higher than 5 kg/m
2
,
which results in high trim speed and dynamic reactions.
Target group and recommended flying experience
Speedflying is an extreme sport that involves a combination of paragliding and skiing skills.
There is high possibility of serious injury or even death if you are unprepared. In particular, the
small sizes of the Nano 4 require a lot of skill and experience. On the other hand, the larger
sizes are also suitable for training.
Description of pilot skills required
Designed for pilots that are familiar with speedriding gliders, who fly “actively” and regularly,
and understand the implications of flying a glider with reduced passive safety. This includes
beginners that are under the supervision of a licensed instructor.
Suitability for training
The Nano 4 is generally suitable for use as a training glider only when flown with a low wing
loading.
