Spread the wing of the "horseshoe" - the wing center should be further from the pilot than
the tips.
Before each take-off, we recommend the following check:
1.
the lines are untied, there are no damages or
knots;
2.
all surfaces of the wing do not have strong
scuffing and damage;
3.
risers are untangled, soft links on them are
fixed in working position;
4.
all carabiners (the main ones, for the pilot
and for the passenger) are in order, securely
locked and stand in the correct position in the
main loops of the spreaders;
5.
the suspension systems are OK;
6.
the rescue parachute is connected, correctly
fixed in the suspension system;
7.
the parachute lock pin is installed correctly;
To take off the "alpine" start, you need to pull the straps of A-risers and put the wing in a
‹
position vertically above the pilot.
As soon as the wing reaches this position, make sure that the space before the start is
‹
free and begin an energetic take-off to the point of separation.
‹
For the "reverse" start, turn your face to the wing and lift it in this position. To compensate
for the draft of the wing during the ascent, it is necessary to deflect the hull backwards.
In a strong wind you need to be ready to take a few quick steps to the wing. When the wing
‹
is overhead, run vigorously to break away from the ground.
