Summary of Contents for PHI CONCERTO

  • Page 2: Technical Description

    4 line levels on the sail lead to 4 risers on each side. The outermost A lines connect to a separate riser. To make it easier to pull Big ears, the CONCERTO has an aid on the riser to keep the Big ears applied. The line layout is extremely reduced, which increases ease of use and reduces line resistance.
  • Page 3: Target Group

    Due to the very clean wing and the reduction in drag (small line consumption for a tandem), the CONCERTO achieves a very good glide. Target group The CONCERTO is aimed at tandem pilots who expect the very highest level of EN A safety paired with handling that is fun and a level of performance that leaves nothing to be desired. Pilot requirements A two-seater/tandem paraglider with the safety classification EN A does not place particularly high demands on the pilot.
  • Page 4 In strong turbulence, the lower stability of the canopy is noticeable. If you fly the CONCERTO in the upper half of the weight range, the dynamics and stability of the wing increase. The trim speed also increases slightly.

    Big Ears Big ears are extremely effective and easy to do with the CONCERTO. To start, grab the outer A risers (red, orange) at the top of the shackle and pull symmetrically down. The brake handles remain in the hands (without additional wraps). As long as the outer A...
  • Page 6 The CONCERTO is equipped with a fixable ear blocking aid to make it easier to hold the big ears on. This can optionally be dismantled (must be carried out by a specialist). The big ears aid consists of an additional Dyneema line on which a locking ball is mounted and a special fitting on the B-riser.
  • Page 7: Asymmetric Collapse

    50% of the span affected, the glider shows a more dynamic reaction: Due to the increased drag of the folded wing, the CONCERTO will start to turn to the side of the collapse. At the same time, the...
  • Page 8: Frontal Collapse

    - one side is slowed down too much in slow flight (for example during thermal flying) If an accidentally initiated negative turn is corrected immediately, the CONCERTO goes into normal flight without any major loss of altitude. The brake that has been pulled too far should be released until the airflow on the inner wing attaches again.
  • Page 9: Speed System

    Winching The CONCERTO has no special features when towing with a winch. Care must be taken to step off the ground at a shallow angle. We recommend using a tow release adapter. This is attached to the top of the main carabiner and connects it to the tow release.

    Attention: Braking in accelerated flight (trimmers open) not only costs a lot of power, but also increases the susceptibility to collapses (in contrast to unaccelerated flight)! Trimmers and Landings A slightly open trimmer (approx. 2-3cm) results in a slightly more dynamic landing behaviour (more energy during flare). This is only recommended for professionals.
  • Page 11: Registration, Warranty

    Exceptions are the replacement of lines as well as the repair of small tears (up to 5 cm, which do not affect seams) or holes in the cloth, which can be repaired with the original PHI repair set. A small set of sticking cloth is supplied with the wing.

    Especially in the cold season, this stress can be life-threatening for animals. Disposal The plastic materials used in a paraglider require proper disposal. Please return your used wing to PHI: it will be disassembled and disposed of by us. PHI, eine Marke der Papesh GmbH...
