It is very important to pack the glider carefully in order to ensure the longevity of the leading

edge reinforcements. Fold up the Falcon as shown in the diagrams below. The leading edge

reinforcements (Mylar and Rigid-System) on the front edge are placed on top of each other to

avoid bending or misshaping them. This method of packing ensures that the leading edge is

treated carefully, which will increase the glider's life, performance and launch behaviour.

If the reinforcements have been bent or misshapen, they distort more easily during flight and

this may create an altered air inflow. This can lead to a loss in performance and changes in flight

behaviour. The leading edge reinforcements also perform an important function on launch.

Therefore, the less they have been bent, the more easily the glider will inflate and launch.

IMPORTANT

Do not drag the paraglider across any rough

surfaces such as gravel or asphalt. This may

damage the seams and surface coating.
