The reverse launch technique can take some time to master. Turning the wrong way can
result in the pilot taking off with twisted risers. Practice the reverse launching technique on
a training hill or slight slope first with your instructor to build up your confidence. Again,
make sure your engine is off until you have practised enough to prevent the lines from
getting sucked into the spinning propeller. If this does happen contact your nearest
MAC PARA dealer for replacement lines or glider repair.

Released for 1-2 cm.
Forward launch
- start with lines under tension
- try to minimize use of the brakes.
- correct position of the wing by moving toward in
appropriate direction rather than by using brakes
- use of full thrust when canopy at 80°

Forward launch
- start with lines under tension
- you can use brakes to correct the position of the
wing during the run, but moving in the appropriate
direction during the run is most effective technique.

Reverse Launch
Flight
After take-off and applying full power the glider will be at a higher angle of attack. Some
paramotoring configurations may have a tendency to roll under full power. The torque and
gyro moments produced from different engines can lift you to one side developing a back
and forth swinging motion. This happens more often on larger engines with bigger
propellers flying with lower wing loadings. The safest way to deal with this is to throttle
back and release the brakes. Do not let go of the brakes. Inexperienced paramotoring
pilots tend to be especially prone to overreacting.
The Charger 2 can reach speeds of 40-43 km/h on neutral setting depending on the weight
of the pilot.
Always fly with sufficient clearance from the terrain.
With power off the Charger 2 best glide rate is with open brakes. Flying the Charger 2 with
minimal altitude loss can be reached by lightly applying brakes and having the trimmers
closed (pulled all the way in).
