  • Page 3: General

    The Muse 3 must not be used during rain or snow-fall. The Muse 3 must not be used in high or gusty winds. The Muse 3 must not be used in cloud and fog. The Muse 3 must not be used by pilots without sufficient knowledge or experience.

  • Page 4: Overall Plan

    The Muse 3 has been tested by certification laboratory European Para Academy to LTF/ EN-A category. The Muse 3 is certified for solo flight. The Muse 3 has been load and shock-tested and passed with a load corresponding to 8G of the maximum weight in flight 135 kg.

  • Page 5: Technical Description

    The canopy of the MUSE 3 consists of 45 cells over the wingspan. The wingtips are slightly pulled down and this produces a kind of stabilizer. The Muse 3 is a second rib diagonal-construction paraglider. Every second main rib is attached to the 4 or 5 suspension lines.
  • Page 6 The Muse 3 is equipped with 5 risers per side (A, A1, B, C, D). The two central A-lines per side are attached to the main A-risers while outermost A main lines are attached to A1 risers.

    „GH“. These “GH“harnesses are different to “GX“ harnesses, which have a lower attachment point for the main karabiners and effective cross bracing. The Muse 3 was not tested with harnesses with an effective cross bracing system.

  • Page 11: Checks On The New Paraglider

    CHECKS ON THE NEW PARAGLIDER Before delivery, as well as during production, each paraglider goes through a strict visual inspection. Additionally we recommend that you to check your new glider in accordance with the following points. We recommend that you make this check after flying extreme manoeuvres or after tree landings or similar.

  • Page 12: Flying The Muse 3

    FLYING THE MUSE 3 The following information must not under any circumstances be taken as a manual for practising paragliding. We would like to advise you of the Muse 3's features and important information for your flying and security. Preparing for take off:...
  • Page 13 Check carefully that they are closed properly. Launch: The Muse 3 is very easy to launch. This is possible in almost all wind conditions except strong headwinds. Before take off recheck the canopy, the direction of the wind and the air space around you! When the pilot is ready to take off he/she holds all A-risers and the brake handles in each hand.
  • Page 14 In a calm air the Muse 3 can reach its minimum speed (depending on the wing loading) by application of 60cm up to 65cm of the brake range.

  • Page 15: Towing

    The Muse 3 is easy to land. The final leg of the landing approach must be into the wind. During this final glide the paraglider should be decelerated slowly and at approximately one meter above the ground, according to conditions, the pilot should flare the canopy.

  • Page 16: Motorised Flight

    Asymmetric collapse: A negative angle of attack can cause all or part of the leading-edge of the Muse 3 to collapse (e.g. in turbulent air). Basically the Muse 3 will re-open spontaneously from closures of up to 70% with a change of direction of up to 90°. The time this takes, and the associated height loss, can however be noticeably reduced by appropriate action by the pilot.
  • Page 17 A wet canopy or temperatures below zero centigrade (0°C) may also cause a stable parachutal stall. The Muse 3 will usually spontaneously recover from a parachutal stall within 2-3 seconds. If the canopy remains in a parachutal stall, it is sufficient to gently push both A risers forward or to push the accelerator.
  • Page 18 (directly overhead). This usually takes 3-6 seconds. The Muse 3 generally flies backwards during a full stall but doesn't always form a front rosette. A frontal rosette can be formed by entering the full stall slowly.

  • Page 19: Rapid Descents

    Alternative (emergency) steering: If for some reason it becomes impossible to control the Muse 3 with the brake lines the D-risers may be used to steer and land the canopy. Attention! Of course the range is much shorter (10-15 cm) then with the brakes. It is also possible to control the direction of the flight by pulling on a stabilizer line or by weight-shifting.
  • Page 20 (&( Big ears: When in big-ears, the horizontal speed is higher than the sink rate, unlike a spiral dive or a B-line stall. This rapid descent technique is used to quickly and horizontally exit a dangerous area in the desired direction. In order to collapse the outside wing, pull the outside A-lines.

  • Page 21: Looking After Your Paraglider

    LOOKING AFTER YOUR PARAGLIDER Looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your paraglider. Deterioration: a few tips: • The canopy is mainly made of NYLON, cloth which, like any synthetic material, deteriorates through excessive exposure to UV. Hence, it is recommended that you reduce UV exposure to a minimum by keeping the paraglider packed away when not in use.

  • Page 22: Treating Nature With Respect

    In Conclusion: The Muse 3 is a modern paraglider. You will enjoy many safe years of flying with your Muse 3 if you look after it correctly and adopt a mature and responsible approach to the demands and dangers flying can pose.

  • Page 24: Manual For Paraglider Check

    MANUAL FOR PARAGLIDER CHECK Check-intervals All paragliders used in flight must be checked at least every 24 months. For paragliders used by paragliding schools the period is 12 months. Personnel authorised to carry out checks A valid flying license and training course by National association are the basis for permission to carry out paraglider checks Identification of glider An identity sticker with details of certification and serial number is attached to the glider.
  • Page 25 (&( Line length measurement Lines should be separated and each line measured under a tension of 5 kg. Measurement is made from the line karabiner to the canopy according to the method of certification. Rib numbering begins in the middle of canopy and leads to the wing tip. Measured full lengths should be documented in the inspection record and are compared with certified full line lenghts protocol.
