Page 4: Introduction
Please read this manual carefully and note following details: < Purpose of this manual is to offer guidelines for pilots using Dudek wing. By no means it is intended to be used as a training handbook for this or any other paraglider in general. -
Page 5: About The Wing
Basically it is a free-flight wing, designed with most modern engineering software, the Glider Plan. Three-row canopy with rigid cores (Dudek FlexiEdge technology) capitalizes on recent knowledge gained while testing three- and two-liner sport protos. Inner reinforcements, structural cores and mini-ribs perfectly shape and stabilize the high-lift aerofoil. -
Page 6: Design
RSS is a ballooning-independent reinforcement system made entirely of paragliding fabric, stiffening and stabilizing the canopy. The aerofoil was perfected with DOA technology (Dudek Optimized Airfoil). It merges all our experiences stemming from previous designs and as a special feature is optimized with dedicated CFD engineering software. -

USER MANUAL reinforcements, incorporating synthetic rods. The rods make the leading edge stiffer and smoother, bringing improvements in many areas - from easier inflation, through stiffening the canopy in flight to improved general airflow. The wing tips additionally feature ACS (Auto Cleaning Slots) –... -

single main suspension line. Main lines are attached to risers with quick links (maillons). To prevent their slipping off, the lines are kept together with a rubber 'O ring' twisted in eight. All maillons are made of polished stainless steel, ensuring great strength, durability and resistance to corrosion. - Page 9 USER MANUAL Triple Comfort Toggle (TCT) Swivel protects Snap fastener the steering line half-rigid rigid plastic rod against twisting PVC tube slit of the rod The most soft handle is obtained when no insertion is used. exchangeable insert Addressing different needs of our clients we have created a TCT system - Triple Comfort Toggle, making it possible to have your brake handles in rigid, half-rigid or soft configuration without need to purchase additional handles.

Page 10: Speed System
SPEED SYSTEM The heart of speed system is a line sewn into A riser, running through two pulleys and finished with a loop with small hook. There you attach the speed bar line. In normal flight all risers (except A’) have the same length. Speed system affects risers A (with A'), and B. -
Page 11: Flight
Have them tightened just the correct amount.. 3. FLIGHT PRE-FLIGHT CHECK A thorough pre-flight check is essential for any aircraft; the Dudek Nemo XX is no exception. Having unpacked and laid out the paraglider, following checks must be made: Canopy, lines and risers condition. -
Page 12: Launch
See that the risers are not twisted. It is very important not to loop any lines around the canopy. The so-called "line-over" may have disastrous consequences during take off. Always put on and fasten your helmet before clipping risers to the harness. -
Page 13: Turns
(in turbulence, the edge of a thermal etc). When it is necessary to turn the Dudek Nemo XX in a confined area at slow speed (e.g. slope soaring), we recommend to steer the decelerated canopy by loosening the brake at the outside of the turn while applying just a little more brake on the inside of the turn. -
Page 14: Flying With Speed System Engaged
When soaring the slope, a minimum height of 50 m above ground is recommended for safety reasons. It is important to comply with the rules of air traffic, especially when many pilots share airspace close to a hill. In such conditions rapid avoidance manoeuvres are often not possible. -
Page 15: Rapid Descends
USER MANUAL RAPID DESCENTS BIG EARS You can deflate both wingtips simultaneously pulling down the A' risers (red ribbon) by approximately 50 cm. It is important not to let off the brake toggles while entering the Big Ears manoeuvre. When folded, paraglider will maintain straight course with an increased sink rate (up to 5 m/sec). - Page 16 CAUTION: see Parachutal Stall section. All rapid descent techniques should be practised in smooth air and with sufficient height only! Full stalls and spins are to be avoided as recovery procedures, since irrespectively of paraglider type they may have dangerous consequences! BY FAR THE BEST TECHNIQUE IS WISE, CORRECT AND SAFE FLYING, SO THAT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO DESCEND RAPIDLY! AEROBATICS...
- Page 17 USER MANUAL FRONTAL COLLAPSE Can happen in strong turbulence. Active piloting will usually prevent its occurrence. Under normal conditions Nemo XX reinflates instantly and spontaneously. Applying some brakes in the right moment will greatly speed up recovery. FULL STALL AND SPIN Practically do not occur spontaneously.

Page 18: Paraglider Care
4. PARAGLIDER CARE Proper maintenance of the paraglider will greatly enhance its durability FOLDING AND STORAGE Nemo XX features a number of recent technologies, like tensioning the leading edge with a plastic string. That's why the paraglider should be folded with care in order to keep it healthy during transport and storage. -
Page 19: Inspections
USER MANUAL INSPECTIONS Full inspection is recommended every 24 months, or 150 flight hours (depending on what comes first) if not advised otherwise by the inspecting person due to current paraglider condition. Paragliders in commercial use (training and tandem flights) should be undergoing Full Inspection every 12 months (excluding first 24-month period after purchase). -

USER MANUAL SEE YOU IN THE AIR! If you respect rules of safe flying and proper glider care, you will enjoy many years of pleasant airtime on your paraglider. Still, you must be aware of present dangers and stand up to them wisely. You must accept the fact that all air sports are potentially dangerous and your actual safety depends solely on you. -

RIGGING SCHEME AND TABLES The rigging scheme itself is published on the next page, while tables of line lengths you will find on our website www.dudek.eu Line lengths are measured with specialized, computer-operated device. All lines before cut are stretched with a steady 5 kg load. Thanks to the abovementioned device and proper procedures final tolerance of line lengths does not exceed 0.15%. - Page 25 USER MANUAL...
