5. Material Data The canopies of our paragliders are made of Porcher Marine Skytex Ripstop Nylon material with an E77 coating. A filament net is woven into this material which prevents ripping and increases the tensile strength along the seams. -

Before every take off the paraglider must be checked visually for possible damage. The easiest way to take off with the eXCalibur is to lay it out in an arc so all A-lines are under the same tension. We generally advise using just the middle A-risers, but using all risers is not a problem. -

Position accelerated flight 9.7 Turning The eXCalibur reacts immediately to the first 15cm pull on the brake. That is why you do not have to pull heavily when attempting tight turns, wingovers or spirals. Our test pilots agree that the eXCalibur is best flown without alteration to the factory brake line length. -

12. Flying manoeuvres 12.1 Asymmetric Collapse Should one side of the eXCalibur's wing collapse in turbulent conditions there is no need to panic. Its good natured flying behaviour in extreme situations will ensure that it reopens quickly. To minimise height loss and amount of turn, move your weight to the open side and pull the steering line down to the height of the main carabiner. -
Page 8: B-Line Stall
The descent rate of the eXCalibur is 14m/sec as recorded by the DHV. You can achieve a higher descent rate through slight braking of the outside wing without the eXCalibur rolling over. On rare occasions a glider can drop into a deep spiral from a slow descent. -

12.11 Emergency steering In the event of loosing control of the steering lines, the eXCalibur can be flown easily with the rear risers (D lines). A stall happens quicker when steering with the rear risers as opposed to steering with the brake lines, being an average of approx. -

Every alteration of the canopy, unless authorised by the DHV or the dealer, results in the glider's certification expiring. The eXCalibur has to be checked by an authorised dealer every two years or after 300 flying hours, whichever comes first. -
