    Please read this manual carefully and note the following details: n Purpose of this manual is to offer guidelines for pilots using Dudek Nemo2 wing and it is by no means intended to be used as a training handbook for this or any other paraglider in general.

  • Page 6: About The Wing

    Nemo2 is safe, good performing, easy launching canopy. Its versatility is confirmed with good towing (Computational fluid dynamics) and perfect PPG characteristics. We are satisfied to see that Nemo2 is one of the best paragliders of its class curently available. DESIGN...

  • Page 7: The Cloth

    Leading edge of the Nemo2 is closed, and its precise shape is maintained with internal reinforcements of laminated cloth. The cell openings are located on the undersurface of the canopy, close to its leading edge.

  • Page 8: Rigging System

    SR-Scrim fabric. RIGGING SYSTEM All Nemo2 lines have coloured polyester sheath covering a core inside. Due to limited number of lines we made sure they are strong enough by employing brown TECHNORA cores. As a result is we have lines that are both strong and offer high stretch resistance.

  • Page 11 USER MANUAL SPEED SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT Most of modern harnesses are equipped with special speed system pulleys and sometimes even its own integrated speedbar. If it's not the case, first you need to have some pulleys attached (at best sewn into harness) in such a way that will allow the pilot maximize the output of his/her legs with correct power vector, without effect of pushing the harness back.

    Have them tightened just the correct amount.. 3. FLIGHT PRE-FLIGHT CHECK A thorough pre-flight check is essential for any aircraft; the Dudek Nemo2 is no exception. Having unpacked and laid out the paraglider, following checks must be made: n Canopy, lines and risers condition.

  • Page 13: Launch

    USER MANUAL LAUNCH Forward launch Should be used with little or no wind. Facing the wind place the risers over your shoulders (A riser must lay on top). Clip it into carabiners and lock them. Grip the brake handles and A-risers (marked with golden ribbon), holding them at the stitching, just under the quick- links.

  • Page 14: Turns

    (in turbulence, the edge of a thermal etc). When it is necessary to turn the Dudek Nemo2 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 15: Landing

    LANDING The Nemo2 is easy to land. Final leg of the landing approach must bring you into wind. At approximately 1 meter above ground pilot should flare the canopy, applying brakes accordingly to conditions. The glider may even climb again for a while gaining some height, if too much brake is used.

  • Page 16: Rapid Descends

    RAPID DESCENTS BIG EARS You can deflate both wingtips simultaneously pulling down the A' risers (blue 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 17 JUDGMENT, STAY CALM AND TAKE MEASURED ACTIONS. Since all actions required to exit or prevent dangerous situations on Nemo2 are typical and pilots flying this wing should already have some experience, we are going to describe only the characteristic features for this paraglider.
  • Page 18 Under normal conditions does not occur. If you want to prevent it, stick to a couple of rules: n after B-stall, release the risers quick and evenly. Nemo2 does not jump forward excessively. n after Big Ears execution engage speed system. It will increase the sink rate and safety margin, as big ears constitute an aerodynamic brake with significant loss of speed.
  • Page 19 USER MANUAL LINE OVER and CRAVATTE Nemo2 is a modern wing, so in order to minimise drag it has less and wider spaced suspension lines. That's why it's possible that a wingtip gets tangled after some bad collapse. Usually a couple of stronger pulls with brake will clear things out.

    4. PARAGLIDER CARE Looking after your paraglider will prolong the life of your Dudek Nemo2. INSPECTIONS Full inspection is recommended every 24 months, 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).

  • Page 21: Deterioration: A Few Tips

    USER MANUAL DETERIORATION: A FEW TIPS! The Dudek Nemo2 is mainly made of NYLON, a cloth which, like any synthetic material, deteriorates through excessive exposure to UV. Hence it is recommended to reduce UV exposure to a minimum by keeping the paraglider packed when not in use.
