09 Repairs, Inspections
and Warranty
Type designation
Swing mini wings have an exact
identification on the underside of the stabilo
lines or on the centre rib, which is obligatory
for all paragliders. The information required
is set out in the airworthiness requirements.
It is helpful to provide the type designation
and serial number of the mini wing if you are
contacting your Swing dealer with any
queries or ordering replacement parts or
accessories, to ensure accurate
identification.
Repairs
Swing workshops
All repairs and servicing should be carried
out by a Swing-authorised workshop or
directly by Swing. Swing workshops have
trained staff, original Swing parts and the
necessary know-how, all of which will
ensure top quality.
Small repairs to the glider
You can repair small tears in the wing
yourself using self-adhesive sail material,
provided that the tears are in places which
do not bear heavy loads, are not at the
seams and are no bigger than 3cm.
Replacement lines for the Hybrid Sport can
be ordered direct from us online at:

Regular inspections
The following parts and materials must be
inspected regularly for damage, abrasion
and correct operation, e.g. after landing:
• Risers, quick-links, trimmers
• Lines
• Fabric
Lines
Measuring the length of the lines is part of
the regular mini wing inspection. The lines
must be measured with a load of 5kg, in
order to ensure reproducible results for a
comparison with the lengths in the check
sheets. The line lengths for the Hybrid Sport
are listed in the Maintenance and Service
book.
The lines have a considerable influence on
flight behaviour. Correct line length and
symmetry are also important for
performance and handling. Swing therefore
recommends an inspection every 50 to 100
hours or once a year.
Lines age and lose strength even if the mini
wing is used infrequently or not at all. This
can affect the safety and function of your
mini wing. Signs of wear are slight bumps or
changes in flying characteristics. The lines
must then be replaced immediately. Use
only inspected and approved lines, which
can be obtained through Swing.
