- Page 6 3. Introduction and Pilot Target The DUET# is a tandem paraglider suitable for both commercial and entering of tandem flying. You must possession appropriate licence insurances to fly with passengers. You must do not - Be flown with more than the maximum certified total weight - Be towed with a tow line tension in excess of 200kg The DUET# has been classified as EN-B and LTF-B.
- Page 7 4. Risers DUET# has 4 risers. The A riser has a red cover to easy identification. There is another line with red mailon. There is A’ and is for the big ears. The tolerance should not be more than ±5mm from the standard riser length.
- Page 8 20mm of adjustment. 6. Trimmers (Accelerator) The DUET# is supplied with a trim riser set. The ‘neutral’ or standard position is when the trimmers are pulled all the way down and A/B/C/D riser lengths are equal.
- Page 9 To know yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inflations and ground handling in advance. You should have no difficulties flying the DUET# for the first time in suitable conditions, but as with all new equipment.
- Page 10 To make efficient and coordinated turns with the DUET# first look in the direction you want to go and check that the airspace is clear. Your first input for directional change should be weight-shift, followed by...
- Page 11 Don’t pull the rear-risers too much, to avoid a deep stall! 10. Deflations In spite of the DUET# has great stability of the flight, strong turbulence or piloting error may cause a portion of the wing suddenly to be a deflation.

If you want to use the whole brake travel of your glider safely, it is necessary to do many intended spins and full stalls to get a feeling for the stall behaviour.
- Page 14 10.6 B stall We do not recommend a B stall with the DUET#. This techniques is generally very hard to use with DUET# by the high force needed to pull down the B lines. 10.7 Cravat In case a cravat should occur from an asymmetric...
- Page 15 The sink rate could be more than 15 m/sec. To get out of the spiral dive you must release the inner brake and use the outside brake to manage your sink rate. Mind that DUET# may take one more turn after releasing the brake. 12. Special Flying 12.1 Towing...
- Page 16 12.2 Acrobatic flight The DUET# HAS NOT been designed for acrobatic flight and we DO NOT recommend continued use in this type of flight. We consider acrobatic flight to be any form of piloting that is different to normal flight.
- Page 17 14. Packing your DUET# The DUET# need be folded cell to cell to keep the plastic reinforcement at the leading edge lie flat on each other and don’t get bent. Try to pack your DUET# as loosely as the packing bag allows, because every fold weakens the fabric.
