Page 8: Setting Up The Glider
Choosing an adapted harness The SAVAGE glider was certified EN C with a EN1651 & LTF certified harness and can therefore be flown with most harnesses models found on the market today. We wil advise you to choose a EN1651 and or LTF certified harness with a built-in back protection sys- tem. - Page 9 Glider user's manual | SAVAGE Setting up the glider Brake line length Fisherman's knot Brake line lengths are set at the factory to allow optimal glider control. However, if they do not suit you they can be adjusted to your liking.

Page 10: Pre-Flight Preparation
Pre-flight preparation The SAVAGE glider was designed for cross-country pilots wishing to fly far and fast. The glider itself gives a sporty feeling similar to the one fed by competition gliders within a much more accessible EN-C package. It is lightweight, ideal for bivouac adventures. -
Page 11: Take-Off
Before the first flight, practice ground-handling to become familiar with your new glider. It is possible to inflate it in a front- or rever- sed-launch method. Inflating the SAVAGE is easy without any hard point. The sequence demands an adaptation to the weather conditions of the day. Forward launch To inflate the glider grab the upper ends of the "A"... -
Page 12: Flight Characteristics
When flying at low speed, begin your turn by raising your hand on the upper and external side of the turn to prevent a possible flat-turn or twisted turn on the vertical axis. The SAVAGE turns very well with handle input, and does not require big weigh-shifting in the harness. -
Page 13: End Of The Flight
Towing The SAVAGE can be towed up. Fly only with certified gear operated by qualified personal and only after taking a towing clinic. The towing force must correspond to the weight of the equipment, and the pulling sequence can only start when the wing is fully inflated and stable over the pilot's head. -
Page 14: Fast Descents
Glider user's manual | SAVAGE Fast descents The following techniques should only be used in emergencies and require prior training to be safely conducted. Appropriate analysis and anticipation of the conditions will often prevent the need to use fast descent techniques. We will advise you to practice in still air and preferably above water. - Page 15 To avoid excessive stress on the glider we do not recommend combining spiral dives with "Ears". Conforming to the C-class of EN-926-2, the SAVAGE glider does not show any tendency to stay in a locked spiral configuration and will return by itself to a normal flying angle in less than four full rotations when the brakes are brought back up.
