Page 4: About The Wing
about the wing For whom the Warp? The Warp is our new high-end sports performance paramotor wing for experienced pilots, searching for speed, agility and economy in one package, who participate in classic and/or slalom competitions and are perfectly familiar with active piloting. Comparing it to our other performance designs, we can say that Warp is the bringing together of Snake XX and Hadron XX. -

It is a specially marked A riser (with red cover). A - red (used for launching), A' - neoprene black (used for big ears), Speed System affecting A, B and D risers when...
- Page 8 riser design Easy Keeper is our indigenous way to hold the brake handles at the risers by using strong neodymium magnets. It keeps the handles firmly at the risers, while both attaching and releasing goes smoothly and easily. The system allows for easy placing the brake handles on risers during flight, when they are not used, thus minimalizing the danger of getting into running propeller.

flight greater the engine output and propeller diameter, the bigger the foolhardy, but this is the essential feature of the reflex profile - the swings. In addition pilot reactions are often too late or wrong, faster you fly, the safer your Warp. That's why it’s actually possible to increasing the problem instead of solving it. -

Page 22: Trimmers And Speedsystem
trimmers and speedsystem Trimmers and speed-system operation In this way you will be able to release the trimmers as muchas you intended to, in a controlled action. The reflex airfoil of the Warp means safe operation of the trimmers and speed-system in a wide range.You are free to experiment with Caution: Closing the trimmers should be symmetrical too, all possible settings, as long as you are on safe altitude. - Page 23 trimmers and speedsystem Trimmers and reflex profile < If it will be asymmetric, the wing will be constantly turning. Trimmers in the Warp affect geometry of the airfoil. At closed Speed system trimmers the airfoil features generates more lift with decreased reflex character (similarly as in Snake XX).

Page 24: Power Attack
power attack Power Attack system The PA system combines speed system with trimmers, resulting in automatic, smooth trimmer release on pressing the speedbar. The canopy is delivered with its PA system locked. We strongly advise you to absolve the first introductory flights with the PA system locked as it is. Unlocking is easily done by complete removal of the locking lines from the risers. -

Although the Warp according to its design book is a fast paramotor Winching wing, it behaves surprisingly well as a classic paraglider too and can be used as such without any modifications.
