smoothly and progressively inflate the wing (chapter 2.6 iNspeCTioN
ANd WiNG iNFlATioN oN THe GrouNd). The koYoT 3 comes
up easily and does not require excessive energy. No tendencies to
overshoot, rendering the inflation sequence quite simple to achieve.
Those characteristics enable the pilot to be in full control and give him/
her enough time to decide whether or not to transit into the running
phase toward a successful takeoff.
Whenever the wind speed permits it, we recommend to do a reversed
inflation. This technique enables the pilot to have a better view of the
wing to make sure all is in order before turning around and running down
the slope. The koYoT 3 does not require much effort to control in this
configuration and higher wind speeds. However, wind speeds up to 25
to 30 km/h (10 to 18 mph) are considered strong and extra consideration
should be given on whether or not to takeoff.
pay particular attention to the wing layout on the ground. Choose an
appropriate location for best wind direction. display the paraglider
symmetrically in a crescent-like shape facing upwind for a trouble free
inflation before running and taking off.

The koYoT 3 has great landing abilities by turning its air speed into lift on
demand using toggle impute, hence obtaining a fully controllable ground
effect to reduce margin errors and improve safety upon landing. it will not
be necessary to wrap the brake lines around your hands to get greater
braking efficiency.
3.7 FoldiNG iNsTruCTioNs
The koYoT 3 has a complex leading and trailing edge, designed using a
variety of different materials. For that reason, the use of a correct method
is very important to extend the paraglider’s lifespan. it should be folded
in an accordion shape, with the leading edge reinforcements flat and
positioned one atop the other. This method will keep the profile in good
shape without altering its form or performance.
The wing should then be folded in three parts without excessive
compression; the contrary could lead to material and/or the line damage.
The Nkare bag is an easy to use folding bag designed to help with the
packing process. it can also be used as a surface base to protect the
glider against damage.

please, carefully review the glider certification results including the relevant
information pertaining to the manoeuvres involved during the tests.
Note that glider behaviour can vary depending on size or wing loading for
the same size.
Becoming familiar with the test results can help you better understand
the glider to tackle various situations when flying.

The koYoT 3 has a solid profile design able to withstand various
weather conditions, hence enabling the pilot to take advantage
of its stability for greater handling efficiency. it reacts admirably in
passive flight mode, and a high level of safety in turbulent conditions.
Nonetheless, the pilot must always steer the wing and adapt to the
prevailing weather conditions; for active flying is the most important
safety factor.
We recommend active piloting and timely necessary fine adjustments to
