4.3.1- Assisted take-off
There are two pairs of hooking loops for assisted take-off. A first pair is located at shoulder
strap height and is suitable for aeroplane assisted take-off. The second pair is located about 25
cm lower, at the centre of gravity position, and it is suitable for windlass assisted take-off. For
further details see your tow hook instructions or ask a qualified towing instructor at your air
field.
4.4- In flight
The best aerodynamic advantage is obtained by flying with the longitudinal axis of the harness as parallel as possible to the glide angle, therefore
in case of high speed motion, incline the harness based on the speed you want to reach. Only then should you act on changing the glider’s flight
set up
Flying for a long time with your head lower than your feet can be very tiring. We recommend flying short sections with the head higher than the
feet, thereby resting your arms and back muscles in order to conserve energy.
4.5- Landing
Open the main zip before approach. In the final phase raise up decisively on the speed-bar and move your
hands to the stanchions always maintaining control of the hang glider’s balance. In your first flights with
COSMIC we recommend trying the landing procedure while you are still flying at a height.
