  • Page 11: Commands With Reflex Profile

    COMMANDS WITH REFLEX PROFILE Paramotor wings are generally made with reflex profile (auto stable), the degree of stability is determined by each paramotor wing model. This stability helps to get through small turbulences, so you can take better advantage of wing speed without having to act on the controls. By following the profile commands and their tightness, without first time, the paramotor wing has a tendency to advance, then slowing down with the trimmer open, is practically unnoticeable with the trimmer closed.

    Used during start to decrease speed and to start within reduced space. Double command The Flexus 2 has an auxiliary command, this double command is used to make curves more open or closed in all conditions of use, regardless of the position of the trimmer.

    FLIGHT Forward Take off When ready to takeoff, the pilot must have risers (A) and the toggles in hand. The Take Off Check List arms must be extended to the side, as if they are extensions of risers (A). - Helmet closed? A decisive run allows a quick and stable inflation.

  • Page 14: Reverse Take Off

    This take off method can be used even with little wind. Turns The Flexus 2 is very sensitive, responding instantly to turn commands. Leveled turns can be achieved with the shifting of weight on the risers with minimum altitude loss.

  • Page 15: Power Induced Oscillations

    In turbulent conditions it is not recommended to fly the power glider with full speed, cause the Flexus 2 is than more sensitive to deformation and closing. The pilot must remember that the higher the speed, the more dynamic the collapse response or symmetric closing will be.

  • Page 16: Fast Descent Maneuvers

    The following maneuvers should be used only in emergency situations and need a special training fore safety use. If possible attend a workshop to learn and practice Sol Paragliders does not recommend doing ears with the XC Runner. this maneuvers.

  • Page 17: Extreme Flight Situations

    EXTREME FLIGHT SITUATIONS Lateral closing Active flying almost ever avoids lateral closing. If lateral closing happens, the canopy Front-stall folds predictable and progressively from the tip to the center. This corresponds a collapse of 50% or more and results in a slight tendency for a turn. The paramotor Normally the paramotor wing opens on his own after a front-stall.

    Parachutal Negative spiral The Flexus 2 has a long way on the brakes and difficulties to enter in a negative spiral. This paramotor wing does not have parachutal flight tendencies and recovers on But if one of the brakes is extremely pulled downwards it can happen.

This way you’re right way, don’t close the cell openings avoiding that the paramotor wing drags and push out the fabric.

  • Page 21: Storing

    Storing Step 4: Fold the paramotor wing like an accordion from both sides and put one side over the other. Now all reinforcements are laying side-wise one above the other. Most part of the paramotor wing fabric is Nylon. As all other synthetic materials it suffers and deteriorates under the influence of ultraviolet radiation (UV).

  • Page 22: Tips For Care

    TIPS FOR CARE - Over-stressing of individual lines, more than normal load in flight, should be avoided. An excessive deformation is irreversible and can’t be undone. For the same reason avoid stepping on the lines, bending or folding them, especially the main lines. Step 3: Close all parts and pockets of the back pack.
