General Description

The INFINITY has been developed as a fast and safe intermedia-

te paraglider with excellent takeoff- and landing characteristics.

Its dominant features are superb aerodynamic stability with a

high lift coefficient and a wide speedrange. Intensive and com-

plicated test procedures made it possible to design a paraglider

for a large group of pilots. Easy handling, high performance and

a high safety potential provide the base for successful and en-

joiable flights. Not only the majority of average pilots, who will

be used to the INFINITY quickly, also experienced crosscountry

and competition pilots will have a lot of fun with this highperfor-

mance intermediate.

We suggest to fly the INFINITY in the upper third of the maximum

takeoff weight, to make full use of its performance- and safety po-

tential.

WARNING: even a high experience level does not relieve you

from the neccessity to get used to your paraglider before the first

flight. Read this manual carefully and if needed contact your

flight school or U-Turn directly.

Please remember that every kind of aerosport is potentially dan-

gerous and that you after all are responsible for your own safety.

We strongly recommend that you fly carefully. Watch out for flying

conditions, think about the manoeuvers you make and always

have a safety margin built in!
