Specific use
End of the flight
The SAVAGE can be towed up. Fly only with certified gear operated by qualified personal and only after taking a towing clinic. The
towing force must correspond to the weight of the equipment, and the pulling sequence can only start when the wing is fully inflated
and stable over the pilot's head.
Towing
Your wing was not designed for aerobatic maneuvers. We highly discourage its use for this type of flying.
Repeated practice of said exercise exceeding 4xG (or 2xG if they are asymmetrical) will cause premature aging of your glider and is
to be avoided. “SAT” maneuvers are the most damaging to your equipment.
Aerobatics
Be certain to always have enough altitude for a safe landing before approaching the chosen Landing Zone. Never make aggressive
maneuvers close to the ground. Always land into the wind ( upwind ), standing up and ready to run to a stop if necessary. Make your
landing approach with maximum air speed if possible depending on the weather conditions of the moment, then progressively brake
to slow the glider to a final touchdown. Beware not to brake too much, too soon and too rapidly to prevent a possible stall and hard
landing.
In case of a landing in sustained higher wind speeds, you will need to quickly turnaround, face the wing, move forward while braking
down symmetrically. You can as well pull the "C" risers down to deflate the glider and bring it to the ground.
Landing
Fold each side of your wing in an accordion-like shape. Stack-up the leading edge reinforcements on top of one another.
Bring one side of the glider over the other while keeping the leading edge reinforcements flat. Fold the wing on itself, starting from
the leading edge toward the trailing edge. During the entire packing procedure, avoid as much as possible bending the leading
edge's reinforcements.
Folding
The SAVAGE wing was not designed for tandem flying.
