The most suitable way of laying out a wing is in an arc (crescent
shape), enabling the paraglider to fill up evenly, starting from the
centre. It is essential to assure that each row of suspension lines is
tangle and knot free and that no line-over is present (a line wrapped
over the wing from the trailing edge). Any defect with the wing during
the takeoff phase can have unpredictable effects on the trajectory.
The center of the wing should be lined-up with the incoming upwind
direction. The glider lines should be taut during the initial forward
pull into the wind. The motion should be executed smoothly without
jerking movements while leaning forward, pushing on the shoulder
straps and running until the glider positions itself overhead.
The pilot will limit his hand movements by simply accompanying the
rising wing with front risers while applying a light upward pull/push
motion. Too strong a traction could partly collapse the leading edge
intakes.
To prevent a brutal take-off In moderate winds (from 10 km/h), it is
recommended to use a reversed inflation technique, facing the wing
during its climb overhead - brake slightly to it down as necessary,
before turning around upwind to takeoff. Reversed inflation takeoffs
pilots unfamiliar with reversed inflation techniques should be avoided
in wind speeds over 20 km/h.
