-- powered flight
The concept of performance under power is considerably different to that in free-flight
(without power). Factors that affect this include: thrust; power and size of the engine;
diameter of the cage; flight altitude; meteorological conditions, such as density of the
air; wing loading, etc.
We STRONGLY recom-
mend that you try to
learn all about these
effects, by reading
books about paramotor-
ing and speaking with
more experienced
paramotor pilots,
coaches and instructors,
BEFORE you start flying.
What is certain is that,
due to an increase in
wing loading and the
extra drag caused by
the chassis of the
motor, the sink rate, fly-
ing and handling char-
acteristics, and per-
formance of the glider
will be affected. For this reason we consider it extremely important that the pilot choos-
es a motor that is most suited to the pilot’s weight, abilities, and intended uses in flight,
etc. When one takes into consideration all of the factors, one will arrive at one set of
performances and flight characteristics, or another.

Each and every glider has a checklist note passed though our strict quality control in the
factory. This includes line measurement, ground inflation and flight testing. Contact your
distributor for more information about this, and if your glider has not been pre-inflated
ask them to do so for you. Every glider should be test flown before it is sold.
Note that each glider has a unique sticker attached to the centre cell with the serial
number, type of glider, size and weight range.
We recommend that your first flight on your new glider will be realized without motor
be on a gentle slope in calm conditions before making any further higher flights, just to
check the glider and for you to get used to flying it.
