- No trimmers on the certified models. - Minimum brake range to stall point according EN 926-2: 2013 standard : STELVIA S & M : 55-60 cm STELVIA L : 60-65 cm - The setting of the lines and of the brakes must at all time remain within the allowances, as required by the EN 926-2: 2014 standard (+/- 1 cm compared to the total length as indicated on the list of lines and plan of lines). -
Page 7: Limits Of Use
Limits of use The STELVIA paragliders are certified for solo free flight only. Weather and thermal conditions must remain suitable for paragliding at any time and the very skills of the pilot have to be taken into account to decide whether to fly or not. Moderate winds (4 on the Beaufort scale or 20-28 km/h) can already be tricky due to turbulence near the ground on the leeward side behind obstacles or wind shears created by thermal activity... -

angle of flight above your head. It is important that the centre-of-gravity of your body remains in front of your feet (flight direction) during the inflation of the glider so that the load through the risers remains constant. A controlled inflation avoids excessive need of the brakes and allows you to visually check the wing and lines during the last phase of the launch, before acceleration to takeoff speed. -
Page 9: Big Ears
Big ears Slide your finger up the outer A’-riser and then pull it down by making an arc of circle outwards and downwards until the wingtip folds back under the leading edge. We recommended that you perform each “ear“ successively and not both simultaneously. -
Page 10: B-Line Stall
B-line stall Grasp the B-risers (third row of risers and lines since the front, blue stitchings and blue lines) at the quick links, and ease them down symmetrically. Do not snatch them down. The paraglider will enter a B-line stall and feel to drop backwards before the pilot stabilises underneath the wing. -
Page 11: Use Of The Speed Barr
Use of speed bar Your STELVIA is equipped with a highly efficient speed system. For fitting and positioning of the accelerator system and speed bar, consult the instructions provided by your harness manufacturer. Before each take-off, check that the entire accelerator system works freely and that the lines are long enough to prevent the speed bar from being activated involuntarily in flight (lines too short). -

stall or deep stall due to uneven airflow over the leading edge as a result of rain drops and an increase of weight to the wing. Whatever the cause, a stall can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical (a spin). In both cases the brake line travel becomes very short and even small input may suddenly induce an airflow separation;... -

Page 14: Storage And Transport
● Never store your paraglider when it is damp. If immersed in sea water, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water. Do not use any detergents. ● If you do most of your flying near the sea, where the air is humid and salty, the wing may age faster. -
Page 15: Checks Before Delivery
100 flight hours whichever is sooner and anytime there is a noticeable change in its behaviour. The checks must be done by Mcc Aviation in Grandvaux or by an authorised representative. Our workshop is equipped as a production facility, with all machines, original materials and spare parts and trained staff.
