Before the first flight
The UP Trango X-light² is delivered with a
speed system, ParaSleeve Bag and
compresion strap, repair materials and this
manual. The manual may also be
downloaded from the UP website. Every
Trango X-light² delivered has been
minutely checked at the factory, and
corresponds exactly to the wing certified
by the DHV.
ATTENTION! The Trango X-
light² must be test-inflated
on flat ground, and the
first flight must be
carried out by a
professional, before the
wing is delivered to end
customers
Adjustments
The UP Trango X-light² has undergone an
extensive development program and
series of flight tests to ensure that the
production model exhibits the optimum
characteristics with regard to safety,
handling and flight performance.
As with all products from UP International,
the UP Trango X-light² is manufactured to
the highest quality and precision. The line
lengths of each glider are individually
checked and recorded before dispatch.
Under no circumstances should the
lengths of the lines or risers of the UP
Trango X-light² be altered in any way.
WARNING! Any change to
the configuration of the
wing will invalidate
certification!
The only change allowed
is to the length of the lower
brake line. This should only be done
by an experienced person.
Position of the brakes
The UP Trango X-light² is delivered
from the factory with what we feel is
the best brake position for most pilots.
But tall or short pilots, or those with a
harness with non-standard attachment
points might feel it necessary to
change the position of the brake
handles.
If the brakes are to be shortened, it is
extremely important to avoid the
adjustment affecting the glider's trim
speed. There must always be some
slack in the brakes when they are fully
released. This can be checked with the
glider inflated above the pilot's head.
There should be a noticeable bow in
the brake lines, and the brakes should
be having no effect on the shape of the
trailing edge.
If the brake lines are to be lengthened,
it is important to ensure that the pilot
can still stall the canopy (i.e. during
extreme manoeuvres or landing)
without the need to take wraps.
If you do feel the need to change the
brake line lengths, do so a little (3-
4cm) at a time, and preferably whilst at
an easy training slope. Check
especially that both lines are the same
length, as any asymmetry will lead to
tiring and possible dangerous flying
characteristics.
If you have any questions or concerns
with reference to the brake line lengths
then seek advice from either your UP
dealer or directly from UP
International.
To tie the brake line onto the brake
handle use the simple fisherman's knot
