Page 3: Introduction
As a Pilot of an BGD LUNA paramotor glider you have chosen one of the safest aircraft of its type available but it must be understood that flying can be a dangerous activity Properly trained people flying in a responsible and disciplined manner should only do it. -
Page 4: Quick Summary
When you pull the trim tab the trimmer automatically adjusts itself to the neutral position with all riser level. This is the best position for launch and landing. Launching is best done by pulling just the main A risers without the big ears risers. Rev_01_29.05.2013 Bruce Goldsmith Design GmbH, Hügelweg 12, 9400 Wolfsberg, Austria... -
Page 5: Preflight Inspection
Pre-flight Inspection The LUNA is designed to be as simple as possible to inspect and maintain but a thorough pre-flight procedure is mandatory on all aircraft. The following pre-flight inspection procedure should therefore be carried out before each flight. -
Page 6: Flight Characteristics
Flight Characteristics This manual is not intended as an instruction book on how to fly the LUNA, you should be a qualified pilot or under suitable supervision, but the following comments describe how to get the best from your LUNA. - Page 7 The LUNA is highly resistant to collapse without any pilot action at all, but learning how to fly actively will increase this safety margin even further. It is not allowed to fly the paramotor glider in strong turbulence or high winds.

Page 8: Rapid Descent Manoeuvres
Wing Tip Area Reduction (Big Ears) The ‘baby A riser’ allows the LUNA to be ‘big eared’. The big ear device does not allow you to fly in stronger winds, but is a device which allows the pilot to descend quickly without substantially reducing the forward speed of the canopy (as is the case with B lining). - Page 9 Incidents / Recovery Techniques The LUNA is designed to the highest safety but it still may enter unusual flying attitudes under certain circumstances. These may be caused by pilot input, turbulence, unusual loads, Stalls etc. Deep Stall / Parachutal Stall It may happen that a glider keeps its normal shape on a very slow release of the B- lines, but stays descending vertically and without moving forward.

Page 10: Storage & Servicing
It is important to have your glider regularly serviced. Your LUNA should have a thorough check every year or every 200 flights, which ever is the earliest. BGD offers an inspection service every winter. This is a comprehensive service which checks line lengths and strength, fabric porosity and tear strength and a variety of other tests and we strongly advise all pilots to take advantage of this. -
