Page 2 Golden5 paramotor appendix INTRODUCTION After using all sizes of the Golden5 for a whole season, the Gradient Team reached the conclusion that the wing is a very good first choice multipurpose glider. Thus we went for French certification “ULM paramotor Class 1” in sizes 24 and 26.
Page 3 Golden5 paramotor appendix The multipurpose risers are designed for pilots who use their Golden5 for both paramotor and freeflight flying. Using these risers means you don’t need to fit different risers for different kinds of flights. If you haven’t seen them before, there are two different hangpoints.

Page 5 Golden5 paramotor appendix GENERAL ADVICE While paramotoring there is no reason to expose yourself to any danger caused by thermal turbulence or strong wind, as you don’t need these to stay in the air on your paramotor. Thus we recommend to all, especially to less experienced pilots, to fly in the calm morning and evening hours and on low wind days only.
Page 6 Golden5 paramotor appendix SAFETY From take-off to landing always keep in mind that your engine may fail. Paramotor engines are not built like aeroplane engines. They have no malfunction or safety backup. Consequently, you should always fly with a safe landing within glide. Always be cautious when estimating what this is.
Page 7 Golden5 paramotor appendix With the right timing this method makes for very nice landings especially in nil-wind conditions. However, if you brake too much too early and the glider starts to climb, let it climb but keep control of the brakes and don’t let the glider surge forward. Prepare for a harder landing.
