2. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
2.1 CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
We recommend unpacking and assembling the wing on a training hill or
a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles. It will help
you to carry out all the recommended steps required to check and inflate
the R-BUS.
We recommend that a qualified instructor is present to supervise the
entire procedure, as only they can address any doubts in a safe and
professional way.
2.2 PROCEDURE
Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open and unfold it on the ground
with the lines positioned on the undersurface, oriented in the direction of
inflation. Check the condition of the fabric and the lines for defects. Pay
attention to the maillons connecting the lines to the risers to make sure
they are fully closed and tightened. Identify, and if necessary untangle,
the A, B, C and D-lines, the brake lines and corresponding risers. Make
sure that there are no knots.
Check that the trimmers are in the correct position and are adjusted
symmetrically.
2.3 CONNECTING THE TRIKE / PARAMOTOR
Correctly connect the risers to the trike/paramotor attachment points so
that the risers and lines are correctly ordered and free of twists. Check
that the carabiners are properly fastened and securely locked.
Check the engine manufacturer’s specification on attachment points.
PLEASE NOTE!
Check that all the connections used (maillons, carabiners, quick-outs,
etc.) are appropriate and certified to carry the all-up load.
2.4 HARNESS TYPE
This will be determined by the trike manufacturer.
For foot-launched paramotors, the R-BUS is suitable for all current harness
models.
PLEASE NOTE!
The R-BUS is delivered as standard without the necessary accessories
to undertake foot-launched tandem flights. These accessories (roll bar,
separators, extension bars, etc.) are specific to each paramotor.
It is the responsibility of the tandem pilot to ensure that the required
accessories are approved by the manufacturer and the weight is well
balanced before takeoff.
We recommend testing the complete system when hanging in a frame first
- most schools have such equipment.
2.5 INSPECTION AND WING INFLATION ON THE GROUND – A-ASSIST
After your gear has been thoroughly checked and the weather conditions
deemed favourable for flying, inflate your R-BUS as many times as
necessary to familiarise yourself with its behaviour.
The R-BUS is a solid wing, but it is agile during inflation. The take off
phase is surprisingly short and easy. The line distribution has been
designed for an easy inflation, so that it climbs above the pilot’s head
quickly and precisely without a tendency to overshoot.
Foot-launch: the R-BUS inflates easily and smoothly. Excessive energy
is not necessary and the wing will inflate with a little pressure from the
