Suitable harnesses
The Summit XC² can be flown with any
harness with the main suspension point at
around chest height. The lower the
suspension points the more the harness
will respond to weight shift.
The recommended distance between the
karabiners depends on the pilot weight:
<50kg: 38cm
50-80kg: 42cm
>80kg: 46cm
The harness design should also
guarantee that it‟s possible to accelerate
the UP Summit XC² up to the maximum
speed.
Please note that different harnesses can
cause very different wing characteristics in
extreme situations (like increased risk of
twists with cocoon harnesses).
Note that the height of the hang point also
affects the brake line length. If you have a
question about your UP harness, contact
your dealer or UP International.
Rescue system
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 conver
sant with it‟s use.
For fitting the reserve system, follow the
instructions of the harness manufacturer.
Use of the UP Summit
XC²
The UP Summit XC² 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.
Aerobatics
The UP Summit XC² has not been
developed, constructed and/or tested
for aerobatics use.
WARNING!
The glider has not
been certified for aerobatics.
Performing aerobatics with
the UP Summit XC² 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.
Motorised Paragliding
The UP Summit XC² has not been
tested for use with any kind of engine.
If you wish to fly your UP Summit XC²
with a motor 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.
