The use of the KIWI for flying requires very high flying skills, high self-discipline and self-assessment. Active flying is an absolute MUST for gliders of this size.
- Page 5 Page 5 If you want to use the KIWI for flying, despite the recommendation of ICARO Paragliders you should not only place your paraglider on a flat surface for the first time, but also carry out the first start and handling exercises.
- Page 6 Page 6 Environmental aspects: The materials of which a paraglider is made require a special waste disposal. So please send disused gliders back to us. We will care about a professional waste disposal without costing for you. Please do our near-to-nature sport in a way which does not stress nature and environment! Please do not walk beside the marked ways, do not leave your litter, do not make unnecessary loud noises and respect the sensitive balance in the mountains.

Lines The KIWI is a hybrid 3 -liners (3- main line construction, in the top lines hanging D lines on the C - section). The suspension points have been shifted to the wing chord and the total line length is reduced. The arrangement of the rows of lines & fixation on sail guarantees an excellent ground handling. -
Page 8: Preparation For Ground Handling
Page 8 Risers The glider has 3 fold risers with separated A-risers, an acceleration system which will be activated with a foot bar. The main brake line comes through a return pulley; the handle of the main break line is mounted on the C- riser. The acceleration system is mounted on the A- riser but it is not to be utilized for ground handling. - Page 9 Page 9 When you turn left, face the paraglider, hold both A- risers in the hand, hold them parallel to one another and turn them 180 degrees to the left. Then first hang the right riser (in the direction of the flight) in the right snap hook and then the left riser into the right snap hook.
- Page 10 Page 10 A stronger pulling of the rear risers and a loosening of the A-risers will cause the glider to rest again. Now you can lead the glider either leisurely or quickly upwards, depending on your taste. Do not forget to leave the rear risers loose and the A-risers under tension.
