    A special coating makes the wing water-repellent, UV resistant and airtight. The STRIKER consists of 68 cells. The end of the wing (stabilizer) is bent down and seamlessly integrated in the rest.

    Date: 10.03.2010 Manual Revision: 0 Striker Page: 6 of 17 2.3.1 Function and Handling Before the start the brummel-hooks of the foot-acceleration system of the harness have to be hooked to the brummel-hook of the acceleration system of the glider. It’s important to make sure, that the line runs free and is not tangled up around the riser! Before first use the length of the foot-acceleration system has to be adjusted correctly.

  • Page 10: Harness

    (see in the manual of the harness).If there is any defect, you are definitely not allowed to take-off! The easiest way to take off with the STRIKER is to lay it out in an arc. You have to lay it out against the wind.

  • Page 11: Checklist

    The most important thing during the take-off is, like at all other gliders too, not the force but the constancy of the pull. Because the STRIKER is very easy to lift up, you have to brake it a little bit on steep takeoff areas or in strong wind conditions, to avoid that the glider is overtaking you.

  • Page 12: Accelerated Flight

    The opposite if you fly in downwashes (down winds): Here you pull the brake-lines dosed. 11.5. Landing The STRIKER is easy to land. At the end of the flight against the wind let it glide out while softly braking. About 1 m above the ground you should increase the angle of attack by using the brake stronger.

  • Page 13: Using A Motor

    For best performance and easiest take off we recommend a pre-acceleration system! 13. Using a Motor At the moment the STRIKER is not yet certified for flying with a paramotor. But several manufacturers of paramotors are planning to do this certification. The current status of the certification can be inquired from the paramotor manufacturer or directly from us.

  • Page 14: Parachutal Stalls

    If the canopy and the lines are in good condition, the STRIKER will speed up again automatically after 2-3 seconds. If this does not happen you must push the A-risers forward or use the speed-system of the glider.

  • Page 15: Wingover

    14.8. Emergency Steering In the event of losing control of the steering lines, the STRIKER can be flown easily with the rear risers (D lines). A stall happens quicker when steering with the rear risers, as if steered with the brake lines.

  • Page 16: Care, Storage, Repairs And Disposal

    In time the UV rays will damage the material of the paraglider. Therefore don’t leave the STRIKER out in the sun unnecessarily. Take care that the paraglider will not get dirty while laying it out. The dirt particles can damage the material.

We will care about a professional disposal. 17. Nature and Environment Actually it’s self-evident, but nevertheless mentioned particularly: Please practice our...
