Repairs, Inspections 

and Warranty 

Type designation 

SWING Speedwings have a precise 
marking on the centre rib, which is 

mandatory for Speedwings. All 

required information is specified in the 
airworthiness requirements. 
If you have any questions for your 
SWING dealer or when ordering spare 

parts and accessories, it is an 
advantage if you can provide the type 

designation and serial number of the 

Speedwing to ensure clear 
identification.

 

Spareparts 

In general, only original spare parts 
may be used for maintenance and 
repair. 
Spare parts such as lines, risers and 
associated fittings, brake handles and 

self-adhesive repair material can be 
obtained either directly from SWING or 
from your SWING dealer. 
Repair material particularly for sewing 

work on the canopy is available from 

SWING only for authorized SWING 
workshops. 

Repairs 

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. 
Single replacement lines for the 
MIRAGE 2 RS can be ordered direct 
from us at: 

[email protected] 

The replacement of complete groups 

of lines must be carried out by a 
SWING authorised workshop. 

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. 

Regular inspections 

The following parts and materials must 
be inspected regularly for damage, 

abrasion and correct operation, e.g. 
after landing: 

 

Risers and quick-links 

 

Lines 

 

Fabric 

Lines 

L

 

PLEASE NOTE 

Environmental conditions such as 
high temperatures or moisture can 
affect line length. 
Check the line length regularly, 

particularly if you notice any change 
in launch or flight behaviour. 
The line length should be checked if 

you have landed in water or if the 
lines have got wet through. 

The lines have a significant influence 
on flight behaviour. Correct line length 

and symmetry are also important for 
performance and handling. Measuring 

line length is part of regular Speedwing 

inspection. For this purpose, the lines 
must be loaded with a 5kg weight so as 

to ensure reproducible results that can 
be compared with the lengths in the 

check sheets. Line lengths for the 

MIRAGE 2 RS are given in the 
Maintenance and Service Book.
