Reserve Parachute
We recommend that you always fly your tandem with a reserve parachute suitable for your maximum all up
flying weight. A twin bridle reserve should be used; each bridle should be attached to the main suspension
point on the spreader with a separate karabiner (not supplied). The bridles should be threaded through
the Velcro loop and under the protective black cloth flap, before clipping into the karabiner on the main
suspension point.
Harness
For the pilot, we recommend a dedicated tandem harness that allows freedom of movement with a wide
seat plate to comfortably accommodate the passenger once in the air. The reserve parachute handle
should be inaccessible to the passenger to reduce the likelihood of an accidental deployment.
It is important to set up your and your passenger’s harness correctly before flying. Make sure to spend
time adjusting the harness’s settings until you are completely comfortable. The chest strap should be set
between 44cm and 48cm between the centre of the hang points.
Wing
To prepare the wing, lay it out on the top surface and perform a thorough daily check. You should inspect
the top and bottom surfaces for any rips and tears or any other obvious signs of damage. Lay out the lines
one side at a time, hold up the risers and starting with the brake lines, pull all lines clear. Repeat with the
stabilo, D (uppers), C, B and A lines, laying the checked lines on top of the previous set, and making sure
no lines are tangled, knotted or snagged. Mirror the process on the other side and then inspect the lines
for any visual damage. Then inspect the risers for any signs of obvious damage. The general rule is if it
looks OK then it is OK, however if you have any doubts please get advice from experienced pilots or your
local dealer or instructor.
To familiarise yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inflations and small flights on a
training hill. This will enable you to set up your equipment correctly.
Take-off checklist (for both pilot and passenger):
• Check reserve parachute - pin is in and handle secure
• Helmets on and fastened
• All harness buckles closed - check leg-loops again, triple check passenger
• Karabiners and maillons correctly placed on spreaders and done up tight
• Trimmers set equally on both sides
• Holding the A risers and your brake handles correctly without twists
• Leading edge open
• Aligned in the middle of the wing and directly into wind
• Airspace and visibility clear
