Leg Wing Internal Zipper; Grippers; Nutsack - Squirrel SWIFT 4 User Manual

LEG WING INTERNAL ZIPPER

We recommend flying with the leg wing zip closed. You may experiment with opening it to reduce
internal pressure, but the leg wing zip is primarily designed for access, not pressure adjustment.
Again, make zipper-checks a part of your pre-flight checklist.

GRIPPERS

Holding your grippers correctly is an important part of controlling your SWIFT 4. It is NOT necessary
to hold the gripper itself, tightly. Here is an example of a GOOD position:
GOOD:
Pilot's fingers are all on the top surface (back side) of the gripper, resting against the arm wing end
cell. The grip is somewhat relaxed, with the thumb in front and the top of the gripper nestled gently in the palm
of your hand. Note that the gripper itself is not being held tightly.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to hold the grippers tightly in flight. You can comfortably fly your suit
from exit to landing with a very light touch on the grippers. It is better to NOT hold the grippers
than it is to hold them wrong, or to hold them too tightly.

NUTSACK

Don't overload your nutsack, it's made for your stuff-sack
and not much heavier. Adding a lot of heavy equipment
or even too much food or water will change your center
of gravity and could possibly affect your flight in a
negative way.
Position for belly flight. Palm rests against arm wing end cell.
Gripper provides structure. Hand "palms" arm wing end cell.
