Folding & Packing/
maintenance
We don’t suggest any particular packing techniques, bu accordion
folding is not recommended!
Always avoid folding your wing along the same folds each time. A
glider is properly folded when it can fit in its bag. Never store your
wing folded when damp, it will damage the material. Dampness
can also affect the shape of the wing’s ‘wall’ during inflation.
Avoid storage in any high temperature area.
Your Gyps should be checked (line check only) after the first 20/30
hours then every 100 hours or each year, by a recognized Little-
Cloud service dealer.
You will need to bring your glider to the service center if you notice
a change of behavior (deepstall, lazy inflation...).
Reserve
The reserve parachute should be an integral part of your flying
equipment. Ultra-light weight, low volume models now exist.
We strongly recommend you mount your reserve in the ventral
position. The reserve should be connected to the same point as
the wings risers for the following reasons: the handle is visible and
can be pulled to the right or to the left, and it is easier to find and
deploy in an emergency.
Conclusion
We believe that our sport should always be driven by pure plea-
sure. Don’t skip any stages of the process, and before each flight
make sure that you check your mental state and your technical
skills in relation to the location and weather conditions.
You should have your wing serviced if it shows any changes in han-
dling (reduced speed, inflation feeling different, or parachuting).
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions in relation to the
Gyps and its use.
