  • Page 8: Flight

    The ZEPHYR-2 is a EN level accelerated but using the accelerator system close to the ground is not advisable & it should be released as soon as turbulent air is encountered. Note that the glide angle is not affected by the wing loading, but that the security is. Always fly a glider that is the correct size for you, and remember that if your flying weight is below the stated minimum, the speed range will diminish and inflation prob- lems may appear.
  • Page 9: Launch

    -- launch Choose an open space free of any obstacles, especially trees and power lines. Open your glider in a slight horseshoe arc (semi-circle) & thoroughly check that you have no knots or line twists. Make sure your helmet is securely fastened & clip into your har- ness making sure all straps are securely fastened.
  • Page 10: Flying In Turbulence

    > flying in turbulence Most pilots want to enjoy the pleasures of thermal and coss-country flight. One thing to always consider is that normally these flying conditions are rougher, stronger and sometimes unpredictable and more difficult to handle which can lead to unstable situations such as collapses.
  • Page 11: Asymmetric Stall (Spin)

    -- front/symmetrical tuck collapse A front tuck /collapse is a symmetric tuck of the leading edge of the wing, starting from the cen- tre of the canopy to the wing tip. This can be either a tucking of just the central part of the lead- ing edge of the glider, which can sometimes cause a front 'horseshoe' or 'rosette-ing' of the glid- er, or even a complete 'blow-out' of the whole canopy in extreme situations.
  • Page 12: Weather To Fly

    In stronger winds less of a flare is needed & the pilot must judge this for himself through practice & training from a qualified instructor. The flight is not finished, and the pilot is never fully safe, until the glider is safely con- trolled on the ground.
  • Page 13 -- spiral dive The Spiral dive is performed by starting a series of 360 degrees turns, gradually pulling one brake harder and harder and weight shifting into the turn. Pull more inside brake, and weight shift hard- er, for a faster spiral dive but be careful not to stall one side and enter a spin in this way. Ease off on the inside brake, and weight-shift less hard, to regain level flight.
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by or the distrib- Windtech utor at least once a year. Besides this you should check periodically the lines, cloth and stitching. Every 150hrs. or once a year, which ever comes first, change all bottom lines. This is very impor- tant to maintain the flying and safety characteristics of the wing.
