OWNER´S MANUAL

Please read this manual before you fly your new Papillon HORIZON for the first time.

Serial Number: 

This manual is an important part of the glider.

Please read it carefully, because there is an OBLIGATION to deal 
with the glider and its special features. The manual is supposed to 
make the handling with the PAPILLON HORIZON as easy and safe as 
possible. 

The information contained within this document may be changed in 
any moment. This document has no commercial value and it is just 
intended as informative. We encourage you to not make any copy or 
use any information for no reason without explicit authorization from 
Papillon-Paragliders (Gleitschirm Direkt).

We are very happy to share the sky with you, and want to thank you for 
choosing to fly Papillon-Paragliders. Papillon-Paragliders is a new brand 
of gliders, but not new into the paragliding world, we come from one of 
the largest paragliding schools in the world and that Know How lead us 
to work with a very experienced designer to develop the best gliders for 
learning, improving and evolving in the first stages of your paragliding 
life.

One of our principles is to provide security to new pilots and build the 
bases, so that their evolution allows them to guarantee many years 
enjoying the skies. For you, that you are not a professional pilot and that, 
due to your multiple family and professional responsibilities, your time to 
go paragliding is limited and sure, you also have to face adverse weather 
conditions, or have to travel multiple hours to enjoy a short time in the 
air; for you we have worked and developed very safe paragliders, but 
that combine this security with a performance that allows you to evolve 
every day in a safe way.

We perfectly understand that paragliding is a great endeavour, not just 
an economic, social and family endeavour, but a personal goal to fight 
for a dream, and being privileged to be one of the minimal amount of 
persons in this planet that can fly and more than that, Free Fly. It is im-
portant to provide the best of the best and being accessible to all those, 
who are really passioned for the free flight.

You just have joint our already large family of pilots – normal pilots like 
you and me. And we care.

If you have any comments, doubts or recommendations about our 
products do not hesitate in contact us via our channels that you can find 
on our brand page
