Storing the paraglider a
}
The Yeti Tandem 3 can be packed with all the usual methods. To ensure a long life of the pro fi le
reinforcements it is very important that you pack the paraglider carefully. It is therefore
recommended that you pack the Yeti Tandem 3 as shown in the following illustrations.
The leading edge reinforcements (Mylar and Rigifoil system) on the front edge are placed on
top of each other to avoid bending or misshaping them. This method of packing ensures that the
leading edge is treated carefully, which will increase the glider’s life, performance and launch
behaviour.
If the reinforcements have been bent or misshapen, they distort more easily during
fl ight,
creating an altered air in fl ow which can lead to a loss in performance and changes in fl ight
behaviour. The leading edge reinforcements also perform an important function on launch.
Therefore, the less they have been bent, the more easily the glider will in
fl ate and launch.
Packing the Yeti Tandem 3 a
1. Spread out the paraglider completely on a smooth surface. Do not drag the paraglider
across any rough surfaces such as gravel or asphalt. This may damage the seams and
surface coating.
2. Start from the center to stack the pro fi les of each side of the wing on top of each other.
3. Proceed like this until the wing tip. All the ribs on one side are placed one on top of one
another, so that the leading edges are not bent.
4. Then continue as in the second step, placing the leading edges of the other side on top
of the next until you reach the tip of the glider. Place the concertina bag underneath the
glider which has been folded together, so that the ribs are all lying along the length of
the concertina bag.
5. 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.
6. Do up the zip, making sure that none of the lines or fabric is caught in the zip.
