General advice

To keep your glider in good condition for many years, please consider the
following advice:

Don't expose your glider to unnecessary UV radiation – for example
by leaving it on the landing site unpacked.

Don't fold the Mylar reinforcements at the cell openings too hard.

If you pack the glider when it is wet or just damp, it has to be dried
later. Don't leave it packed in a wet condition!

When you practice ground handling, avoid crashing the glider hard on
the ground with the leading edge, as this might lead to damage.

Avoid unnecessary dirt or sharp stones touching the lines and the
cloth. Don't step on the lines if they are laying on a stony surface!

Humidity combined with dirt can lead to shrinking of the lines and
thereby to the wrong trim on your glider. Saltwater (sweat) may
damage the lines in the long run.

To store your glider for a longer time, avoid a humid or a very hot
environment. (Like in a car during hot summer days)
