It is in your responsibility as a pilot to know what your insurance covers. - Sol Paragliders is flying and testing every single paraglider produced, to assure our clients full quality and function of every glider. We recommend that every new or reviewed Symbols paraglider will be tested on the ground and flew from the training hill by his pilot.
Runner XC - THE PROJECT The Runner XC is our new paramotor wing for experienced pilots looking for comfort and speed paired with engine and fuel economy on long distance flights. Its performance is linked to speed gain and comfort on long flights. In thermal conditions, its stable behaviour provides safety combined with a good soaring.
Tecnologias Cross X battens Greater lift (glide) due to optimization of the central Our double 3D Shaping is a three dimensions modeling Dual Control. s t r e n g t h e n i n g area of the wing with less inclined profiles and a more technology that reduces wrinkles and imperfections on the nose profile.
Line plan The suspension point design was developed for an ideal weight distribution and long Never and under no circumstances the line length can be altered! life. During all consideration and calculation, security always is our first goal.. The used material mix for the lines of the Runner XC forms an ideal combination: long life with little deformation and aerodynamic drag.
Tandem flight The Runner XC was not designed and is not certified for tandem flight. SOL Paragliders If the distance is not within the range, the glider could have extreme, doesn’t recommend this type of flight.

COMMANDS WITH REFLEX PROFILE Paramotor wings are generally made with reflex profile (auto stable), the degree of stability is determined by each paramotor wing model. This stability helps to get through small turbulences, so you can take better advantage of wing speed without having to act on the controls. By following the profile commands and their tightness, without first time, the paramotor wing has a tendency to advance, then slowing down with the trimmer open, is practically unnoticeable with the trimmer closed.
Start Have the trimmer 2 (cm) open to improve the inflation, the start speed depends on brake use. Using the brakes Without using the brakes: More stability because of the reflex profile, more speed. Normal turn - Pull one of the commands Closed turn –...
Flaps Forward Take off Used for the best glide on slow and efficient flights for thermal When ready to takeoff, the pilot must have risers (A) and the toggles in hand. The flights. Performance Flap is part of one of the devices that arms must be extended to the side, as if they are extensions of risers (A).
If the paramotor wing is rising let the engine accelerate more and pull the paramotor wing up slowly. After visual check accelerate until you take off. Sol Paragliders does not recommend using the engine force to inflate the paramotor wing.
Power induced oscillations Landing with paramotor Always choose a secure and clean landing side with lots of space, great distance to It is recommended to use the accelerator when flying against the wind or in zones natural obstacles and is not under the influence of turbulent air. with descending air.
The following maneuvers should be used only in emergency situations and need a special training fore safety use. If possible attend a workshop to learn and practice Sol Paragliders does not recommend doing ears with the XC Runner. this maneuvers.
EXTREME FLIGHT SITUATIONS Lateral closing Active flying almost ever avoids lateral closing. If lateral closing happens, the canopy Front-stall folds predictable and progressively from the tip to the center. This corresponds a collapse of 50% or more and results in a slight tendency for a turn. The paramotor Normally the paramotor wing opens on his own after a front-stall.
Parachutal Negative spiral The Runner XC has a long way on the brakes and difficulties to enter in a negative This paramotor wing does not have parachutal flight tendencies and recovers on spiral. But if one of the brakes is extremely pulled downwards it can happen. its own from an intentional parachutal flight induced by braking commands.
PACKING YOUR PARAMOTOR WING Line Over If the tip of the wing is trapped in lines it could cause a positive spiral, which is difficult There are different ways who can help to extend the life of your paramotor wing. to control.
Traditional - Method Step 3: Now do it in the same way with the leading edge profiles. Put the Step 1: Bundle up your paramotor wing reinforcements of top and bottom in the in form of a cabbage. This way you’re right way, don’t close the cell openings avoiding that the paramotor wing drags and push out the fabric.
Storing Step 4: Fold the paramotor wing like an accordion from both sides and put one side over the other. Now all reinforcements are laying side-wise one above the other. Most part of the paramotor wing fabric is Nylon. As all other synthetic materials it suffers and deteriorates under the influence of ultraviolet radiation (UV).
TIPS FOR CARE - Over-stressing of individual lines, more than normal load in flight, should be avoided. An excessive deformation is irreversible and can’t be undone. For the same reason avoid stepping on the lines, bending or folding them, especially the main lines. Step 3: Close all parts and pockets of the back pack.
INSPECTION WARRANTY Your paramotor wing has strictly to follow the required inspection intervals. The first Every paramotor paraglider has a Warranty of 1 Year or 100 Hours of Flight, whichever inspection check is mandatory completing 24 months or 100 hours flights, whichever comes first.
OPERATION LIMITS In order to make a plea for repair or equipment exchange, which shall be decided and performed only by SOL Paragliders, the owner must send the paraglider to the manufacturer with the following documents: Based on LTF standard:...
