course correction is necessary close
to the ground.
•
Do not try to climb steeply during the
first part of the tow. Good airspeed is
essential.
•
Do not use a tow-line tension greater
than 90 daN at any time during the
tow.
•
All persons involved with the towing
operation should be suitably qualified
and experienced. All equipment used
should, where necessary, be certified,
and a tow permit should be valid for
the field being used.
Attaching the tow-line release
system
The optimal attachment point for the tow-
line release is always in the system’s
centre of gravity. On a paraglider that
means the connection point between the
risers and the harness, preferably right
onto the lower end of the risers. UP
International has developed special tow-
release connectors for the UP Trango X-
light² to ensure the optimal connection
between the pilot and the tow-line. For
safety reasons we suggest that you
always use these connectors when towing
the UPTrango X-light².
When using tow-line release systems
incorporating distance-tubes between the
risers it is important to ensure that the
risers are not pulled together by the
system (use webbing loops designed for
climbing to increase the length of your
release system). It is also very important
to fit a bungee to the system that will keep
it from hitting you in the face in the event
of a tow-line failure
BEWARE! If you are using
a front-mounted reserve
system it is very
important to verify the unhindered
deployment before every flight. In case
of doubt please only tow using a textile
release system.
