Getting Started; Delivery; Basic Settings - Advance acoustic IOTA2 Manual

Getting started

The IOTA 2 belongs to the "Light sport aircraft" category with an empty
weight of less than 120 kg .

Delivery

Every ADVANCE paraglider has to be flown by the dealer before deliv-
ery to check for correct settings and trim . The dealer finally enters the
date of the first flight on the type placard fastened on a rib at the cen-
tre of the wing . This entry confirms that defects in the product that can
be attributed to manufacturing faults are covered by the ADVANCE
warranty . Register your paraglider under www .advance .ch/warran-
ty, and benefit from the ADVANCE warranty for three years . See under
"Warranty" in the "Service" section .
Delivery of a IOTA 2 includes a COMFORTPACK 3 rucksack, a
COVERBAG, a compression strap, a repair kit, a mini-windsock in the
wing colours and a «Getting Started» booklet .

Basic settings

At delivery the basic set up of the IOTA 2 will be the original trim situ-
ation that the ADVANCE test team found to be best . Certification was
also gained in this condition . Any alterations or changes to the par-
aglider, such as altering the line lengths or fitting different risers or
quicklinks, will result in a loss of the glider's certification . See section
«Certification» .
Adjusting the brake lines
The length of the brake lines has been set at the factory so that, with
hands fully up, the trailing edge remains unbraked in accelerated
flight – ( no crease in the wing ) . Basically, this setting should be kept .
If the brake line length does have to be reset there should be 8 -10 cm
( depending on the glider size ) of initial free brake line movement be-
tween the brakes fully released position in unaccelerated flight, and
that point where the lines first affect the trailing edge . We recom-
mend a bowline knot for attaching the handles . See illustration in the
appendix .
