Page 5: Introduction
Please read this manual carefully and note the following details: The purpose of this manual is to offer guidelines to the pilot in the use of the Dudek VOX wing and it is no way intended to be used as a training manual for this or any other paraglider. -
Page 6: Rigging System
This is turn providing good reinflation without affecting the profile of the canopy. RIGGING SYSTEM OF THE DUDEK VOX VOX lines are made of a strong and stretch resistant sheath-core construction. Because total length of lines is not big, he coloured polyester sheath covers brown core made of Technora that is very strong and is not stretchy. -
Page 7: Who Should Fly Vox
USER MANUAL USER MANUAL The line connections are made to triangular mallion rapides (quick links) fitted with a rubber "O ring" (normally used as a seal) in the form of a "figure eight" preventing any slipping of the lines on the quick link. The brake lines are attached to suspension tabs, each of which is sewn to the near to trailing edge. -

3. Speed system The Dudek VOX can be flown with a speed bar operated system. The VOX has 3 risers. All A lines are attached to the A and A" riser, the B lines and the stabiliser together to the B riser, the 3rd riser, "C", leads to all the C-lines and attaches the brake lines trough pulleys. -
Page 9: Harness
Any certified harness with a hang point at between 35 cm and 49 cm from a seat may be used with a Dudek VOX (however the safest distance is 40 cm). The distance between carabiners should be between 37 cm and 45 cm (however the safest distance is 40 cm). -

5. Flight PRE-FLIGHT CHECK A thorough pre-flight check is essential for any aircraft; the Dudek VOX is no exception. Having unpacked and laid out the paraglider in a horseshoe the following checks must be made: The paraglider should be arranged in such a way that the A-lines in the centre section of the canopy will tension before the ones at the wing tips. -

(edge of thermals). In case it is necessary to turn the Dudek VOX in a confined area at slow speed, it is recommended to steer the decelerated canopy by loosening the brake at the outside of the turn while applying a little more brake on the inside of the turn. -
Page 12: Spiral Dive
SPIRAL DIVE To enter a spiral dive with a Dudek VOX the pilot must: At the normal flight speed apply the break (about 30 cm), Add weight shift on the same side. After the 180° turn, applying more and more brake input will initiate an increasingly steeper turn which eventually results in a spiral dive. -

"Speed system" section. LANDING The Dudek VOX is easy to land. The final leg of the landing approach must be into wind. During this final glide the paraglider should be decelerated slowly and at approximately 1 meter above the ground the pilot should "flare"... -
Page 14: Extreme Flying Manoeuvres
DURING SAFETY TRAINING COURSE (INSTABILITY TRAINING) UNDER PROPER INSTRUCTION! TUCK A negative angle of attack will cause the Dudek VOX, like any other paraglider, to tuck. If one wing tucks, straight flight is maintained by "correcting for direction", by weight shifting and braking gently on the inflated side. The pilot's "correction for direction"... -
Page 15: Wingover
It is the very last moment to release the breaks and not fall into a full stall. The Dudek VOX generally flies backwards during a full stall and forms a front rosette. The canopy must be stabilised (flying directly overhead) before letting out the full stall. -
Page 16: Line Over
EMERGENCY STEERING In case it is impossible to control the Dudek VOX with the brake lines the outer C-lines, C-risers (slightly) or the stabiliser lines may be used to steer... -
Page 17: Rapid Descents
USER MANUAL USER MANUAL 7. Rapid Descents SPIRAL DIVE Spiral dives as explained previously have a rapid descent rate, however, the very high G-forces make it difficult to sustain a spiral dive for long and it can place high loads on the pilot and glider. Never do these in turbulence or at too high bank angles. -
Page 18: Canopy Care
BY FAR THE BEST TECHNIQUE IS TO FLY CORRECTLY AND SAFELY, SO YOU NEVER HAVE TO DESCEND RAPIDLY! 8. Looking after your Paraglider. Looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your Dudek VOX. STORAGE Store the paraglider in a dry space away from chemicals and UV light. - Page 19 Even when packed in the bag do not leave in the sun. The lines of the Dudek VOX are made of an inner core of Technora and an outer sheath of polyester. Any over stretching of lines apart from the strain imposed during flight should be avoided as over stretching is irreversible.
