    Harness Tow release take off The Prymus 5 was tested within the standard of LTF with a harness of type GH. We can The Prymus 5 can be used for towed flight.

The line Without twisting the risers connect them with the carabiners of the harness. Check if must be firmly attached to the stirrup. The other end of the line is fed through the harness’ they are connected and positioned in the right way without any twist.

If lateral closing happens, the canopy unable to be directed. folds predictable and progressively from the tip to the center.
