Glider user's manual | EONA 3 CONNECTING 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.
Glider user's manual | EONA 3 Pre-flight preparation The EONA 3 glider was designed to help new pilots with their progression. To discover your new wing, we will advise you to conduct your first small flights in calm conditions on a school training hill or a familiar site you are used to flying with your own harness.
Glider user's manual | EONA 3 Take-off The design team has strived to produce optimum characteristics for easy inflation in all conditions, whether in light or high winds you will enjoy the progressive behaviour while launching. However before the first flight, practice ground-handling in order to become familiar with your new glider. It is possible to inflate with the front- or reverse-launch methods.
Glider user's manual | EONA 3 Flight Caracteristics Here are a few tips to take advantage of your EONA 3 wing's performance in flight: : « Hands up » speed or trim speed Flying « hands up » will provide the best glide ratio in nil wind.
Towing The EONA 3 wing 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.
Glider user's manual | EONA 3 Fast Descents The following techniques should only be used in emergencies and require prior training. Appropriate analysis and anticipation of the conditions will often prevent the need to use fast descent techniques. We advise you to practice in still air and preferably above water.

To prevent stressing we do not recommend combining spiral dives with "Ears". Conforming to the EN A, the EONA 3 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 two full rotations when the toggles/brakes are brought back up.
Glider user's manual | EONA 3 Incidents de vol Stall This technique is not recommended as it requires intense physical impute. It is not a safe descent technique. Asymmetric collapses Any paraglider may occasionally collapse due to turbulence or a piloting error. In the event of an asymmetric collapse your priority must be to stay clear of the terrain and regain level flight.

• Lines (no excessive wear, no breakages or folds), maillons, attachment points and carabiners • Materials selected for the EONA 3 ensure the best compromise for lightness and longevity. However in certain conditions, for example excessive exposure to UV or abrasion or exposure to chemical products, the glider must be submitted to a full check in a qualified facility.
Most of them are recyclable. If your EONA 3 has reached the end of its life, you can separate all metallic and plastic parts from the cloth and sort out refuse accor- ding to your country's practices. We advise you to contact appropriate organisations for the recycling of textile parts.
