Page 4 Congratulations, for choosing to fly a RR ACROWNGS ROLLING. You have got a glider, to experience exiting and safe flights for many years. This manual contains important information and instructions to use your glider. Please read the following pages carefully before your first flight. For questions and suggestions please contact us: raul@rracrowings.com...

RR Acrowings RR Acro Wings is the product of Raul Rodríguez’s 22 year flying career combined with NOVA, one of the most advanced and experienced wing manufacturers. Raul is a true paragliding pioneer of our times. Thanks to his adventurous spirit, his initiative and his extraordinary instinct, he has managed to make a new and enormous leap in the area acro flying.
Page 6: The Rolling
Raul Rodriguez. Short technical description The ROLLING has 53 cells. Six of those cells are closed stabilo cells on each side. There are four layers of lines. The first layer, the A-lines are red. B, C and D lines are yellow.
Page 7: Performance
XC-flying. Target Group The ROLLING aims to appeal all pilots who want to learn or refine the art of acro and freestyle flying. Due to the high trim speed, the very agile handling characteristic and the high safety potential the wing is an interesting choice for pilots who are not particularly interested in acro flying and who just want to enjoy a glider with great performance and sensitive feedback.
Page 8: General Information Bevor Implementing
To get all warranty and service features, you have to register your glider on our Homepage. Please choose “LOGIN” and follow the advice for registration Scope of delivery The ROLLING is shipped with a rucksack, an inner pack sack, a riserbag, the speed system,...
Page 9: Weight Range
If you fly the ROLLING on the upper half of the weight range, the agility and the stability in turbulences will increase. Also the speed will increase slightly.
Page 10: Normal Flight
Normal flight If you release both brakes (“Hands up”) the ROLLING glides at the so called “trim speed”. At this speed, the glide ratio reaches its maximum. If you fly into a headwind or through sinking air, you should use the accelerator to maximise your glide ratio.
Page 11: Turning
The difficulty is finding the right amount, which is important if you want to climb efficiently in thermals. The ROLLING turns quite sensitively, so only small inputs are needed for performing precise turns. Tight and quick turns or fast changes of turning direction without unwanted pendulum movement are quite complex and take some training.
Page 12: Landing
The ROLLING can be turned quite well with the D-risers combined with weight shifting. You can also land the glider nice and smooth just with the D- risers.
Page 13: B-Stall
As you pull the risers down, the gliders stops its forward motion and after a pendulum swinging motion, the ROLLING enters a very stable stall state. The sink rate depends on the wing loading and on how much the pilot pulls the B- risers.
Page 14: C-Stall
If the pilot shifts his weight clearly to the inner side, the ROLLING might stay in a deep spiral, even when releasing both brakes. In this case, it helps to apply the outer brake, or both brakes and of course to shift the weight to the outer side.
Page 15: Collapses
(like during a normal turn), but it moves inside the wing. Furthermore the rotation speed increases. The ROLLING will go back to normal flight, if the pilot releases both brakes. The Vers.1.0...
Page 16: Fullstall
ROLLING’s spin behaviour is easily manageable: It takes a lot of brake travel to induce the spin, and then the pilot has quite some time to react and release both brakes. Fullstall If you pull both brakes too far, the wing will perform a so called full stall. The wing suddenly stops its forward motion, but the pilot is still moving forward.
Page 17: Cravates
This is what you call a cravate. During our extensive test flights with the ROLLING we never experienced a cravate but this situation can not be eliminated with any paraglider.
Page 18: Winch Launch
Winch launch The ROLLING is very easy to launch on the winch. You should start to climb at a flat angle. We recommend the use of a towing device which accelerates the glider during the winch launch.
Page 19: Using The Accelerator In Flight
Using the accelerator in flight If you push the speed travel all the way, the ROLLING will gain approximately 14km/h speed. (Compared to “hands off”speed) It makes sense to use the accelerator when flying into a headwind or through sinking air – or simply to move forward faster.
Page 20: Cleaning
• Avoid unnecessary dirt or sharp stones touching the lines and the cloth. Don’t step on the lines if they are laying on a stony surface! • Humidity combined with dirt can lead to shrinking of the lines and thereby to the wrong trim on your glider. Saltwater (sweat) may damage the lines in the long run.
Page 21: Environment Friendly Behaviour
Environment friendly behaviour: Apart from self-evident things, like not leaving your rubbish behind, we would like to appeal for a thoughtful behaviour towards animals, like birds of prey or game animals. If you notice, that your fly by affects those animals (like causing a shortening reaction) please increase your distance.
