THE PARAGLIDER - INFORMATION
Take off weight
Tow release take off
Flight with engine
Tandem flight
If your take off weight is between two weight ranges we suggest the following procedure:
- For a more accurate and dynamic handling or if you usually fly in the mountains and/or
turbulent conditions, you should choose to fly in the upper weight range.
- For a better sink rate and if you usually fly above flat land and in light weather conditions,
you should choose to fly in the lower weight range.
The Prymus 5 can be used for towed flight. The used equipment must be certified, the
team handling the equipment must be licensed and you must have done a workshop
learning this take off. Always use the special tow connection. The take off only should be
done if the canopy is filled completely and steady above the pilots head.
The Prymus 5 was not designed and is not certified for engine flight. SOL Paragliders
doesn’t recommend this type of flight.
The Prymus 5 was not designed and is not certified for tandem flight. SOL Paragliders
doesn’t recommend this type of flight.
It’s not recommended to fly
outside the weight range.
Each paraglider seize is dedicated to a certain weight range, from a minimum take off
weight to a maximum. The take off weight is the sum of the weight of:
1. the pilot
2. the paraglider
3. the harness with reserve
4. all flight accessories
PREPARING FOR FLIGHT
Laying out the glider
Harness
- Choose an easy training elevation with less inclination for the first flight, without
obstacles and a day with easy weather conditions.
- Open your canopy and lay him down in shape of a horseshoe.
- Check fabric and lines, if there is any damage or fatigue caused by wear.
- Check if all quick links are closed.
- Identify, separate and organize all risers A, A', B, C and the brake lines.
The Prymus 5 was tested within the standard of LTF with a harness of type GH. We can
recommend for the Prymus 5 all harness of type ABS, tested with a carabiner connection
height between 42 and 48 cm, measured form the seat and depending on the seize.
Attention: the suspension height will influence the “normal” brake position. Always use
a harness with back protection.
The distance between the carabiners should be between 40 and 48 cm. Together with
your glider comes an “Easy Check” measure tape which might help you to check the
distance exactly.
If the distance is not within
the range, the glider could
have extreme, dangerous
or abnormal reaction in
flight.
• It is extremely
important that there are
no entanglements and/or
bunched lines present.
