Speed System
The U-Turn AIRWOLF is equipped with a very eff ective leg-actuated speedsystem that increases the
speed ca. 18 km/h depending on model and pilots weight area load respectively. During extreme ma-
noeuvers the speedystem should not be activated, when entering an extreme manoeuver it should be
immediately deactivated. All extreme manoeuvers (i.e. stalls...) get more dynamically at higher speed.
Because the maximal adjustment of the accelerator is related to the safety characteristics of the canopy
it may happen, that - using certain harnesses - the broad accelerator adjustment is not available.
Suitable Harness
All offi cially approved harness systems with mounting about the breast height are suitable for the U-
Turn AIRWOLF (they have to be DHV rated GH). The lower the mounting, the better is the steering by
shifting of the bodyweight. U-Turn recommends the new IQ4 harness for its highest level of safety and
convenience.
The positioning of the mounting also changes the relative brakedistance. If you have any questions
about the usage of your harness with the U-Turn AIRWOLF; ask your U-Turn dealer or directly contact
U-Turn. We assist you in any possible way.
Suitable Rescue System
It is required by law and absolutely neccessary for safe operation of your paraglider that you always
carry a rescue system with you. When choosing a rescue system, watch out that it is approved and
suitable for the intended takeoff weight. With the innovative rescue systems of the PROTECT-series by
UTurn light-weighted, convenient and safe reserves are available. The PROTECT rescues off er extremely
short opening times and low sink-rates.

Winching
Because of its excellent starting characteristics, the U-Turn AIRWOLF is well suitable for winching opera-
tions. Take the following points into account:
• maximum linetension for winching is 100kp.
• if not operating at your usual winch, get acquainted with the local procedures and get a good
briefi ng by a local pilot.
• bodypostion and pulling up the canopy does not diff er from a normal takeoff . The canopy has
to be completely over the pilot at takeoff . No early steering inputs to avoid fallilng back of the cano-
py or being pulled off with a non fl yable glider. Never give the takeoff - command before you have
total control over your glider. Don`t turn too much during the takeoff - phase and before reaching
the minimum safe altitude.
• never winch the U-Turn AIRWOLF with loads outside the allowable weight range.
• all involved persons, machines and accessories have to have the appropriate licenses, approvals,
certifi cations for winching.
