4 Setting up the controls
Before flying a must do VIP Hang check is required
The following is best carried out with the help of an instructor or at the very least by an experienced motor
pilot.
Before flying your Revo3 with a motor unit, we recommend that you do a static hang test. This is done by
hanging your motor unit from an appropriate structure from the wing attachment points by using a strong rope
or strap, then by sitting in the harness, and getting an assistant to measure up the risers from the hang points
up. The aim is to make sure that you, the pilot, are able to reach the brakes whilst in flight. Allowance should
also be made for the wind blowing the toggles out of reach.
Brake line lengths
The Revo3 brake control lines come factory set and are fitted with PAL (Paramania adjuster lines)
Unlike many standard systems the knot attaching the control toggle to the line does NOT need adjustment. It
is never necessary to untie this knot unless replacing the line. However it is the only one knot on your wing
and it is important you become familiar with how to tie it
No other type of knot should be used see BR01 diagram
There are 3 positions of the keeper available D riser, these are for use with for use with different motor hang
points.
High - Intermediate - Low
The keeper adjustment on the riser is achieved by unlocking the plastic slider and simply relocating it to the
required position on the D riser.
see R01 diagram and photo sequence
Each position requires a different corresponding brake line length. This is achieved with the PALs These are
mounted at the top of each main brake line towards the wing.
See PAL01 diagram
Note - Higher hang points require longer brake lines, lower hang points, shorter lengths.
Double check brake line lengths pre flight
A useful method for double-checking brake line lengths:
Choose a steady breeze of about 10kph. Ground-handle the wing above your head, with an ordinary harness
or your motor unit on your back. When the wing is nicely level, check that when the brake toggles are up
against the brake pulleys the trailing edge of the wing is not being pulled down. Then as you gently pull the
brakes you should have only a few centimetres of movement before they start to pull down on the trailing
edge of the wing. Make sure it is the same length on both sides.
Note:- It is always safer to have this adjustment too long than too short.
When free flying the wing should always be set up though the top pulley and with the shorter lines.
All new wings leave the factory rigged for low hang points. It is best to seek the advice and assistance of a
local instructor or experienced pilot.
Your wing has been fully inspected, firstly by the factory, and secondly by your Paramania professional.
