Page 6: Warnings
Neither the manufacturer, nor the dealers or distributors can be held responsible for any damage caused by or to the paraglider. At the time of delivery Aeros Style-3 meets the requirements of EN 926-2. Any alterations to the paraglider will make certification invalid! In order to be able to do paragliding you should be physically healthy and mentally sane. -
Page 7: What Is Your Paraglider Designed For
WHAT IS YOUR PARAGLIDER DESIGNED FOR Style-3 is a paraglider designed specially for weekend pilots from post-school level to confident crosscountry flights. It is perfectly suited for improving your skills received during your training course, for dynamic flying and certainly for crosscountry flights covering long distances. Style-3 has successfully continued the line that started with the first Style and the bestseller Style-2. -
Page 8: What's In The Package
WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE? Your paraglider is supplied with a number of things useful for flying, transportation and storage. First of all this is a big bag pack capable of accommodating all the equipment you will need for flying. The back pack is made of durable fabric but at the same time it is really light. Being ergonomically designed, it distributes the load evenly and thus ensures your comfort while walking with the back pack on your back. -
Page 9: Canopy
Canopy The Style-3 has the modified profile that proved to be efficient in the Style-2. The ribs which suffer the most tension, are made from NCV Porcher Marine hard finish fabric. NCV Porcher Marine with medium finish is used for the top and bottom panels. Trilam reinforcements of the ribs provide extra stiffness and stability of the leading edge and help reduce the weight of the paraglider, thus easing the inflation of the canopy at launch and improving its flight performance. - Page 10 The speedsystem of Aeros Style-3 is foot-operated. It changes proportionally the length of A, B and C risers which allows to keep up the wing's shape at high speed. A A’ B | || | ||...

Page 11: Harness
To fit the speed system, pass the free ends of the speed system cords (the opposite ends are attached to the bar) through the metal rings, holes or pulleys on your harness, following the harness manual. Connect the loops of the cords to the speed bar line using the oval-shape carabiner. When connecting the speed system cord on the risers with the speed bar, make sure that the speed system line goes outside. -
Page 12: Flight
Pull the lines slightly and sort them into A,B,C,D and brakes beginning from the risers. For easy control A1 and A2 risers on Aeros Style-3 are marked red, B-risers are marked yellow. The brake lines should run freely through the pulleys to the trailing edge of the canopy. -

Air space is free, there's an excellent visibility Launch Your Style-3 allows you to use both the forward and the reverse launch method. Forward launch This method is applied in no wind or low wind conditions. -
Page 14: Flying
Flying Aeros Style-3 has better glide ratio at or close to its trim speed (hands up). Use this mode for flying in normal air, with tail wind and if there is no strong sink. With head wind or in a strong sink use the speed system to increase your horizontal velocity. -
Page 15: Flying With The Speed System
Backward movements are countered by letting the brakes go and allowing the paraglider to gain speed. To feel your paraglider better, hold the brakes slightly tightened. Try to avoid chaotic braking. Acting in a random way, you risk to increase the paraglider's oscillation. The best solution in this case would be to stop braking for some time (hands up). -
Page 16: Landing
We wish you soft landings! Tow launching Aeros Style-3 can be tow launched by either an active or a passive winch. The paraglider is stable when being pulled. For brake control keep in mind that the brakes are more loaded and the paraglider responds slowly to control inputs. -
Page 17: Extreme Flying Maneuvers
EXTREME FLYING MANEUVERS These flying maneuvers should be practiced under the experienced instructors' supervision. Practice at high altitude and take all precautions. Big ears With “big ears” your paraglider's sink rate increases to around 4m/s, whereas horizontal speed remains the same. This technique is used to leave away either a strong cloud lift or a dynamic lift on the ridge, or to shorten your landing approach. -
Page 18: Wing-Overs
Spiral dive To enter a spiral dive on the Aeros Style-3, you should slowly apply brakes on one side. While the bank angle increases, apply more brake. Control this angle by increasing or reducing the amount of inside brake. -
Page 19: Asymmetric Front Collapse
Most of tuck situations are caused by turbulence (thermal activity, rotors or combination of the above). After the asymmetric front collapse the canopy begins to turn to the side of the tucked wing. Usually Aeros Style-3 reinflates without the pilot's input, smoothly and fast. To speed up inflation of the canopy, the pilot should: a) counter the turn by pulling slightly the brake opposite to the turn and shift his (her) weight to stop the turn. -
Page 20: Line Over
Line over We have never experienced the line over during any of our flight tests on the Style-3. But theoretically it's possible that the collapsed wing top is caught between the lines due to turbulence or incorrect pilot's behavior. A line over leads to a spiral dive. If the line over occurs, try to stabilize the glider at a straight flight by gentle brake input. -
Page 21: Spin
Spin Usually the spin occurs when the brake is being pulled too hard on one side with the speed being too low. To enter this situation intentionally, flying at the speed slightly higher than V min, pull one brake hard and release the opposite one. -
Page 22: Maintenance And Repairs
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS Storage Store your paraglider in a cool dry place, away from UV exposure. Never leave the canopy wet for a long time, as this will reduce the lifetime of both fabric and lines. Cleaning Clean the canopy with fresh lukewarm water only. Do not use chemical detergents. Bird's droppings should be removed and the spot should be carefully rinsed in fresh water and dried. -
