Wingover
To induce a wingover the pilot flies consecutive alternating turns to gradually steepen the
angle of bank. During wingovers with a high bank angle, the outside wing begins to unload.
Further increase of the angle of bank must be avoided, because any possible resulting
collapse may be quite dynamic!
WARNING!! Full-stall, spin and wingover (over 90 degree angle of bank) are
prohibited aerobatic manoeuvres and may not be performed during normal flying.
Incorrect recovery procedures or overreacting of the pilot may have dangerous
consequences! Attention! The Pasha 7 is not designed to be used for aerobatics.
Alternative (emergency) steering
If for some reason it becomes impossible to control the Pasha 7 with the brake lines the
outermost D-lines may be used to steer and land the canopy. Attention! Of course the
range is much shorter (5-15 cm) than with the brakes. It is also possible to control the
direction of the flight by pulling on a stabilizer line or by weight-shifting.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR PARAGLIDER
Looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your paraglider.
Packing the paraglider
To prolong the life of your wing and to keep the Nitinol wires reinforcements in the best
possible condition it is very important to pack the wing carefully. It is therefore
recommended to use the bag packing method exactly as shown so that all of the cells rest
alongside each other and the plastic reinforcements are not unnecessarily bent.
The leading edge reinforcements 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 flight,
creating an altered air inflow which can lead to a loss in performance and changes in flight
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 inflate and launch.
Storing and transporting the glider
Even if your paraglider was completely dry and was nicely packed up after the flight, for
longer-term storage you should if possible take it out of the backpack and spread out flat.
This is the best care for the reinforcements.
Store the paraglider in a dry space at ambient temperature away from chemicals and UV
light. It should be stored at a temperature between 10° and 25° C and in relative humidity
between 50 and 75%. Never pack or store the glider wet. This shortens the life of the cloth
Always dry glider thoroughly before any packing or storage. Make sure too that the
paraglider is not stored in a place where animals such as mice, dogs or cats could use it as
a place to sleep.
