Paramania Revo3, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 14 / 21

Warnings:-
1) Many pilots, particularly if they have trained previously in paragliding, get into the habit of using
the brakes to abort or control their wing in windy conditions - experience has shown us that sooner or
later they WILL put a hand back into a spinning propeller. Always try to use the rear or “D” risers
instead.
2) It has come to our attention that certain paramotors with swan neck attachments, may cause a
problems during the launch sequence where the pilot turns and an arm hooks it self over a riser. this
very rare however may happen if the wing looses pressure during the launch and the pilot turns at this
moment. It can be easily felt during the take off run, as wing pulls aggresivly to one side. abort and
start again. Do not take off, it is a dangerous situation. If you do, then fly straight controling with brakes
and weight shift and if possible dont climb out and and land immidiatly...
9 The climb out
Under power the Revo3 behaves more like a powered fixed wing aeroplane than a paraglider, and it
helps to think of it as such. Provided there are no obstacles in your path, it is often safer to fly level
with the ground after take-off, gaining more speed before converting it into considerable height using
the brakes and then easing off into the climb out.
The other reason for not climbing out too steeply is the risk involved if the engine fails i.e. a stall and
diving recovery. Although the Revo3 will not sit back behind you the way some wings do, a slow
forward speed and high angle of attack are still likely to put you into a state dangerously close to
stalling should your power source suddenly fail. Take care to set up a reasonable approach. Don't
make things hard for yourself - fly with sufficient airspeed at all times, and keep your airspeed under
control at low altitudes.
Once off the ground and flying safely, continue into wind using the engine thrust and brakes to achieve
the desired climb rate.
Depending how the hang points are set up on your power unit you will feel to a greater or larger extent
the propeller torque. It may be necessary for you to steer against it to maintain direction.
However if you are countering the torque effect during a steep climb with a lot of power, take care as
there can be a risk of stalling, simply ruducing power will reduce the effects.
Because all paragliders have a large distance between the thrust of the engine unit and wing, applying
power suddenly has a big effect. Therefore care should be taken especially during climb out or close to
the ground.
Warning:-
Don't attempt to climb at too steep an angle or use too much brake to force a higher climb rate will only
degrade the climb by creating extra induced drag, and with the addition of lots of thrust could result in
a stall or spin.
