    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.

  • Page 4: Runner Xc - The Project

    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.

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.

  • Page 12: Commands With Reflex Profile

    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.

  • Page 15: Reverse Take Off

    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.

    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.

  • Page 18: Extreme Flight Situations

    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.

  • Page 19: Parachutal

    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.

This way you’re right way, don’t close the cell openings avoiding that the paramotor wing drags and push out the fabric.

  • Page 22: Storing

    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).

  • Page 23: Tips For Care

    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.
