2.The PHI SOLA The PHI SOLA is an EN A paraglider with 36 cells and many technical features that enable a combination of a very high safety level, good performance, precise handling and a lot of fun. The SOLA impresses with its very advanced lightweight construction and extreme versatility. -

7.Target Group The SOLA can be safely flown by a very broad group of pilots. The very forgiving flight behaviour of this wing makes it very easy, even for an absolute beginner, to learn to fly. Even somewhat advanced pilots or those with years of experience will enjoy this wing for a long time. -
Page 6: Modifications To The Paraglider
In strong turbulence, the lower stability of the canopy is noticeable. If you fly the SOLA in the upper half of the weight range, the dynamics and stability of the wing increase. The trim speed also increases slightly. The self-damping of the glider, even a er collapsing, decreases slightly. -

3.Turning the Wing A turn is an interaction of inner brake, outer brake and weight shi ing. The art is the right dosage. The SOLA is characterized by a sensitive handling. Small brake inputs are enough to fly precise turns. -
Page 8: Rapid Descents
To release the maneuver, it is sufficient to release the outer A risers back up again, whereupon the SOLA independently recovers the wingtips. -
Page 9: C)Deep Spiral
When such a collapse only affects a small part of the span the SOLA will show no significant reaction. For larger collapses with more than 50% of the span affected, the glider shows a more dynamic reaction:... -
Page 10: B)Frontal Collapse
Due to the increased drag of the folded wing, the SOLA will start to turn to the side of the collapse. At the same time, the glider pitches forward as a result of the smaller loaded wing surface and therefore higher wing load and needed airspeed. -

Please use these possibilities: There are already too many pilots, who almost forgot that they have a reserve they could use, which is a very bad precondition to use it without hesitating in a dangerous moment. 9.Winch launch The SOLA is very easy to launch on the winch. You should start to climb at a flat angle. -
Page 12: Mounting Of The Speed System
Connection with ball and loop: In flight, the SOLA can now be accelerated by pushing the speed bar, which results in a reduction of the angle of attack and as a consequence an increase of airspeed. The speed increase compared to trim speed is about 10-15km/h. -
Page 13: D.service And Maintenance
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... -

The excellent inflation and take-off qualities, great stability and the damped behavior in flight meet the requirements of a paramotor wing. Due to its large speed range, the SOLA does not need trimmer risers for motor flight. We recommend using modern paramotor setups with throttle and low hang points. No change of risers is necessary. -
Page 15: G.environment Friendly Behaviour
Especially in the cold season, this stress can be life-threatening for animals. H.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. -
