Page 6: To Get To Know Your Clou
Canopy The canopy of the CLOU is made of synthetic fabric where a reinforced thread-net is woven in, which stops the fabric from further tearing and is increasing the firmness at the seams. The coating makes the fabric water-repellent, UV-stabile and air-impermeable. -
Page 7: Flying With The Clou
The improper adjustment of the steering lines can cause severe changes to in flight behavior. Risers For motor flying the CLOU has special risers with many details and specifications which are also adapted for flying without motor when trimmers are closed and using the lower hang point. -
Page 8: Launch
Page 8 • Separate the line groups carefully and bring the risers in order. All lines must run freely from harness to canopy. It is equally important that the lines are unhindered and cannot get caught up during the launch. •... -
Page 9: Turning
A combined steering technique (weight shift and pulling the brake line on the inside of the curve) is suitable for every situation. The CLOU is agile and reacts to steering impulses quickly and directly. Strong, one sided pulling of the brakes brings the CLOU into an obvious side angle and the glider flies fast steep curves until spiral dive begins. -
Page 10: B-Line-Stall
Wingovers are induced by flying alternating turns; each time letting the pendulum effect increases the bank angle. The CLOU is an agile glider, and it is quite easy to get to an excessively high angle of bank in just a few turns. Practice wingovers gently at first, as there is a chance of quite large collapses at high bank angles. -

Applying the brakes symmetrically will speed things up. Emergency Steering Should it no longer be possible to steer your CLOU, for example due to a broken line, the glider may be steered by gently pulling on either rear riser. We recommend for emergency control in the air to use the stabilo line. -

Page 12 the glider may enter a negative spin. To exit a spin with your CLOU just do “hands up” to release the brakes and the glider will return to normal flight. If you do not have control over your glider and you are running out of altitude, immediately deploy your reserve parachute. -
