It is strongly recommended that you have 

a rescue system (reserve parachute) fitted 

at all times. In some countries it is 

mandatory, so check if you plan to travel. 

Make sure that the reserve system you 

have is the correct size, and that you are 

fully conversant with it’s use. 
For fitting the reserve system, follow the 

instructions of the harness manufacturer.

The UP Kantega XC has been developed 

and tested solely for foot launched and 

winch launched paragliding flights. It is not 

allowed and potentially dangerous to use 

the glider for any other purpose.

The UP Kantega XC has not been 

developed, constructed and/or tested for 

aerobatics use. 

 

:$51,1*

 The glider has not been 

certified for aerobatics. 

Performing aerobatics with the 

UP Kantega XC or any other 

paraglider can be very 

dangerous. Doing aerobatics can 

induce flying configurations well 

beyond the tested flight envelope, and can 

lead to total loss of control. Aerobatics can 

also overload your glider and break it in 

flight.

The UP Kantega XC has not been 

tested for use with any kind of engine. 
If you wish to fly your UP Kantega XC 

with a paramotor please get in touch 

with the manufacturer of the engine 

unit, with UP International GmbH and 

with the governing body for ultralight 

flying in your area, to check on 

certification of this configuration.
