Before your first flight
We recommend you to unpack and connect your
glider to the harness on a windless flat ground or a
training slope without any obstacle.
Take your glider out of the backpack, open it and lay
it out with the lines on the undersurface. Place your
wing the same way as when you want to inflate it.
First of all, it is important to control that there isn’t any
anomaly on the glider. Untangle the lines, the brakes
and the correspondent risers. Be sure there is no knot
left.
Unpacking the wing
Connecting the harness
The Foxy connects to the harness as every wing does.
Connect the risers to the harness’s carabineers, the front
risers on the upper side. Be sure carabineers are perfectly
attached and locked.
This glider can be used with all the types of harness.
Be meticulous during the ventral strap adjustment: the
stability and the behavior of your wing depend on it.
Inspection and ground handling
Once you have verified everything and when the
weather conditions are adapted to an inflate
practice, inflate the Foxy as many times as
necessary to get used to its behavior.
The Foxy inflation is very dynamic: the wing rises
above your head and stabilizes quickly.
Untangling
Lines check is essential before every takeoff. Do not take off if you
notice something wrong.
However, if it occurs you have taken off with a tangled line, pay
even more attention to avoid any incident. Shift your weight to
the opposite side of the knot and briefly pull the brake at the
same side than the knot to untangle it. Do not be brutal on the
brakes in order to avoid glider’s unwanted movements and
quickly release the brake.
