5 Flight Operations
Flying with or without a motor
The design philosophy of the Revo3 is that of a high-speed paramotor wing, which also performs well as a free
flying glider and may be flown as such with no adjustment. Slower trim settings reduce internal air pressure
and consequently give a lighter feel to the brakes and a better sink rate. The main difference between the
Revo3 and other paragliders is the increased resistance to tucking. During launch and in flight its greater
speed range and stability mean that it can be flown with safety in stronger conditions. Basically the wing
becomes more stable the faster you fly.
About First flights
We recommend that to get used to your new wing gradualy, depending on your experience, your first flights
should be made in light smooth conditions, using the recommended take off position. i.e. Full slow If you are
used to conventional wings, the Revo3 will feel familiar. Try flying with a small amount of brake - you will
encounter this point at about the one-quarter-brake position where the brake pressures just begin to feel a little
heavier.
When you have become fully confident with your wing, try experimenting with faster trim-settings, weight-shift
and speed bar and enjoy the extra speed and security the Revo3 gives you.

6 Launching
For any pilot especially when you are starting, with or without a paramotor. Forward launching in zero wind is
one of the most difficult things to do achieve. Paramania have paid very special attention to this area, the
Revo3 has been designed with new dual batten leading edge technology (CLE). It is exceptionally easy, it
virtually comes up on its own, rarely over-shoots, and has excellent directional stability.
While there may appear to be no wind this is rarely the case. Its is importaint to make sure of your direction of
take off and it is virtually essential for aircraft of this type to take off and make the initial climb out to a safe
height (relative to the surrounding terrain) into wind.
This makes maximum use of the wind and avoids the danger of losing airspeed when climbing out steeply
through wind gradient. Particular attention must be paid to trees, power lines and other large obstacles, and to
any rotor (vortexes) that they may generate. Remember:- when wind speed doubles, turbulence increases by a
factor of 4.
7 Forward launch
We recommend that when the wing is laid out, all the lines are at full length with little or no slack between wing
and pilot. Next pull the brake lines in, to ensure that the middle inflates first. The Revo3 is easily inflated by
using “A” risers only. When launching simply move forward from this position gently pulling on the “A” risers,
whilst keeping the pressure balanced between each side (meaning the pressure on the “A” risers). The wing
shows little or no tendency to dive overhead, so frontal collapses which so often lead to failed launches, are
rare. Instead the wing almost waits for you to catch up with it.
Note:-In most trimmer positions, the Revo3 requires almost no pull on the “A”s at all, accelerating forward
movement alone will be sufficient.
With an engine unit (foot launch or with a wheeled unit)
Preparing the wing is important. Lay the wing out, downwind of the motor, so that the lines are fully extended
and as if attached to the motor or central focal point, then lay the risers down ready to clip in.
Set the trimmers to fully closed or take off position (faster settings may be desirable in stronger conditions, see
diagram R02).
Make sure that when warming up the engine you do so upwind of the wing, in case a gust blows the wing
towards the motor, and then cut the engine whilst clipping in.
