Congratulations on buying your
SPEEDUP
and welcome to the family
of
ICA
RO
- pilots!
Before you get to know your glider please read the
manual, there are any important items.
The wing loading has a certain influence on the pilots requirements: If you fly the
wing with less wing load it will be less demanding than if you fly it on top of the
weight range.
The small size of the
SPEEDUP
and thereby the high wing loading make certain
demands for the pilot. The glider is very predictable in its reactions but sometimes
it requires fast and sensitive brake inputs.
Therefore the pilot should already have certain "reflexes" from flying other wings.
The
SPEEDUP
is not a glider for aerobatics because there are different materials
and characteristics to an aerobatic- glider.
Therefore
aerobatics with the
SPEEDUP
is forbidden.
Your
SPEEDUP
is not
pattern tested, has no certification, is not suitable for
training, valid using any harness which has been categorized by “GH” and allowed
for towing.
The glider may be only used for those purposes described in this manual.
•
It is strictly prohibited to fly the
SPEEDUP
•
under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
•
in insufficient experience or training of pilots,
•
without guilty license,
•
beyond the minimum and maximum recommended Take Off-
Weight,
•
with damaged glider, lines, risers or harness
•
in the rain, in snow, in the clouds and fog and in turbulent
weather conditions,
•
with motor drive for
tandem- flying
and in aerobatics.
If you cannot keep your glider under control use the rescue system in good
time. Always pay attention to ground distance.
Our products are made with great care and state of the art. Each paraglider before
it is delivered to the dealer or flight school is checked by ICARO paragliders but
test flights are made only on a random basis.
On that score an approved ICARO dealer or teacher of the flight school must
inflate a new ICARO paraglider in the wind or should carry out the first flight before
the wing is handed over to you.
