Page 5: Pilot's Profile
PILOT’S PROFILE Freedom2 is fun and exciting paraglider with class-leading performance designed as a safe mid to high end EN-B class glider. It has numerous technological advancements that are of easy operation to extract its full potential. Freedom2 is a beginner/ intermediate type glider, especially designed for pilots looking to progress safely and consolidate their flying skills; either chasing their first long-distance XC flights or honing their competency at their local hill. - Page 6 GAME CHANGING glider for the EN B class. Special attention was also given on the handling, especially the turn ability whilst circling in thermals. For us at Flow paragliders we are delighted by how the glider behaves and it is hands down one of the most pleasant gliders we’ve ever flown, simply a joy to fly.

Page 8: Take-Off And Flying Techniques
TAKE-OFF, FLIGHT, AND FLYING TECHNIQUES Freedom2 should be flown as a normal paraglider. However, there are several points listed below which should help you to familiarize with your new paraglider. Freedom2 was designed as a foot launchable solo paraglider and can also be tow-launched. It is the pilot’s responsibility to use suitable harness attachments and release mechanisms and to ensure that they are correctly trained on the equipment and system employed. -
Page 9: Landing
Landing Because of the exceptional glide for this type of glider, high caution is recommended in the stages of approaching and landing. The Freedom2 is a reasonably fast glider, and precision on with brakes inputs is required, especially when near the ground. It is therefore recommended to execute the first flights in a familiar environment and under easy conditions. -
Page 10: B-Line Stall
• B-line Stall Due to the hybrid 3-2 line layout, B–line stall is not an efficient and stable descent manoeuvre on the Freedom2, therefore not recommended. • Big Ears : Big ears is a moderate descent method, reaching -3 or -4 m/s, speed reduces slightly between 3 and 5 km/h and piloting becomes limited. -
Page 11: C Riser Steering - Ergonomic Handles
reduce the angle of attack making the likelihood of having collapses higher than at trim speed. We therefore do not advise to use the speed bar near the ground. C Riser Steering – ergonometric handles Freedom2 can be flown efficiently on rear riser handles. When gliding using the speed bar, the C handles can be used to steer the glider and control the pitch to a more efficient glide. -
Page 12: Frontal Collapse
provoke the re-opening. Take care not to over-brake on the side that is still flying. When the collapse has been solved; remember “hands-up” to let the wing recover its flying speed. Another great technique is to bring both brakes down symmetrically, quickly and swiftly, to speed up the reopening of the paraglider, and then raise your hands back up immediately. -
Page 13: Cravats
CRAVATS If your wingtip gets stuck in the lines, this is called a cravat. Due to the large amount of drag, cravats can turn your wing into a spiral dive very quickly. This can be disorientating and difficult to control if allowed to develop. To recover from a cravat immediately, anticipate the movement of the wing, first stabilise the direction of your wing, by applying opposite (outside) brake and weight shift. -
Page 14: Adjustment Of The Harness
ADJUSTMENT OF THE HARNESS For test flights, the pilots used ABS harnesses with the following set-up: SIZE Distance from seat board Distance between hang points FREEDOM2 XS 43cm 44cm FREEDOM2 S 43cm 46cm FREEDOM2 M 43cm 46cm FREEDOM2 L 43cm 46cm We recommend adjusting the harness in a very similar way to the test adjustment. -
Page 15: Maintenance & Checks
MAINTENANCE & CHECKS Freedom2 is built semi-lightweight long lasting and yet robust ripstop, it is a fragile flying equipment and extra care should be taken. Special attention to its maintenance should also be observed and as any flying aircraft it should be technically periodically checked to ensure proper airworthiness. -
