    Correctly connect the risers to the trike/paramotor attachment points so that the risers and lines are correctly ordered and free of twists. Check The R-BUS is a solid wing, but it is agile during inflation. The take off that the carabiners are properly fastened and securely locked.

    It will enable you to become more familiar with the R-BUS and its unique flying characteristics. If you then decide to change the length of the brake lines, untie the knot, slide the line through the brake link to the desired length, and re-tie the knot so that it is tight.

    Depending on the position of the pilot during the flight or the height of This is trim speed, better for gliding and less fuel consumption. the trike hang points, the R-BUS has the possibility of moving the brake pulleys to a variety of positions to ensure pilot comfort.

    Asymmetric collapse situation other than quickly restoring the wing’s default air speed and angle In spite of the R-BUS’ profile stability, strong turbulent air may cause the of attack by progressively reducing the tension on the brake lines. The wing to collapse asymmetrically in very strong turbulence, especially if normal wing reaction will be to have a lateral surge on the re-accelerated the pilot is unable to fly actively and prevent the collapse.
