●
Do not start before the wing is over your head. Opening the throttle too soon can cause
dangerous pendulum movements
●
Just sit in your harness when you are about 30 meters in the air
●
Low suspension for back motors usually allows easier start-up
●
The faster the trim setting, the more speed you'll need to take off.

The Pegasus 3 is suitable for reverse launching from light to strong wind speeds. Take the
brakes and turn around to face the wing. Pass one set of risers over your head as you turn. We
suggest that you partially in fl ate your canopy, which allows you to untangle the lines. Make sure
the lines are free from knots or tangles. Check that the airspace and visibility are clear. Gently
pull up the glider in an arc with the ‘A’ risers. When the glider is overhead, brake it gently if
necessary, turn around and launch.
This method of launch makes it easier for the pilot to control the rising of the canopy and is
therefore recommended in strong winds.
}
You can hook in the glider as for a forward launch, and then turn around when the motor is
switched off. Run the lines over the cage and then make sure that all the lines are free.
As with the forward start, the correct combination of braking and engine power is important to
achieve the best speed and the best climb. The right technique of hooking the riser in, pulling up
the glider and turning is very important for reverse launching. This must be controlled by the pilot
before executing it with the engine running.

●
If the glider comes up slightly off-centre, make small corrections by moving towards the
lower side.
●
In stronger winds, be prepared to take a couple of steps towards the canopy as it in
fl
ates
and rises.
●
Launch the wing by pulling upwards in an arc, not towards you.
●
Practice ground-handling regularly to improve your take-off skills!
●
The pilot must work actively to keep the glider on the ground in higher winds (wind
speeds from approximately 6 m/s), otherwise the glider may rise above the pilot
unintentionally.

If you have taken off with a knot in the lines, you should wait until you have enough height and
distance from other pilots before you attempt to loosen the knot. Control with weight shift and
gently brake the opposite side before attempting to open the knotted side by pulling on the
brake line. Make sure you don’t fl y too slowly and stall or spin the paraglider. If the knot does not
open, land safely as soon as possible.
