  • Page 2: Introduction

    Remember: accident free and enjoyable flying is far more important than a few additional moments in the air or showing off near the ground. We hope you will have much fun and joy with your new "SWING-CIRRUS 2". Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
  • Page 3: Pre-Flight Checks

    "SWING-CIRRUS 2" is a paraglider and must therefore not be used as a para- chute. The use of the equipment is at your own risk. The manufacturers accept no liability for damage caused by or to the glider. Pre-flight Checks...
  • Page 4: Risers

    The CIRRUS 2 has a divided A riser. This allows you to do big ears whilst pulling the two outer A risers ( A2 ) without searching for the right A-lines. Speedsystem "SWING -Cirrus " The CIRRUS 2 is equipped with a foot-operated speed bar that is attached to the risers. Once you have attached the foot bar you increase your speed by pressing it down.
  • Page 5: Arranging The Canopy

    Flight Your "SWING - CIRRUS 2" has excellent flight characteristics, yet we recommend that you get to know your glider very thoroughly. In this handbook we have divided the flying instructions into three chapters: 1.
  • Page 6: Flying Characteristics

    This can be achieved with 15 % braking. The harder you brake the less you advance and the more you descend. This is very useful when preparing to land. If you do a shallow turn in thermals, brake "SWING-CIRRUS 2" on both sides and correct the radius of the circle by the outermost side.
  • Page 7: Accelerated Flight

    again flying straight and stable on a safe course. Note: If an asymmetric collapse occurs, use the opposite brake to maintain straight flight. But better too little brake than too much - the heavier wing loading with a partially collap- sed wing means the stall speed is higher.
  • Page 8: Rapid Descent Techniques

    2. Rapid Descent Techniques Big Ears Using "big ears" with your CIRRUS 2 increases the descent rate to about 4 mps. To do this, grasp the outer A risers as high up as possible and, without letting go of the brakes, pull the risers down until the wing tips fold under.
  • Page 9: Extrem Flight Manoeuvres

    This prevents the violent pendulum effect (sudden dynamic surge of canopy). Note: Should your "SWING-CIRRUS 2" fall into a full stall during a previously described situation, do not suddenly release the brakes, but guide the canopy back into its normal fly-...
  • Page 10: Negativ Turns (Flat Spins)

    Negative Turns (Flat Spins) These may occur: whilst braking hard when one brake is either applied more or released faster than the other. When braking hard to over 70 % on one side only from normal flying position. Flat spins usual- ly occur during thermal flying;...
  • Page 11: Landing

    Landing To reduce the forward speed when coming in to land, brake at about 50%. You achieve a soft lan- ding if you further increase braking just before touch down. With brake lines with a lot of slack it may help to take a turn around your hands. Folding away We recommend that you sort the lines before you fold up your canopy and loosely throw them on top of it.
  • Page 12: Servicing

    The glider must be checked every 100 hours or at the latest every 2 years. This airworthiness check must be done at a Swing authorised workshop. The Swing guarantee and the airworthiness become invalid if you miss those checks !
  • Page 13: Cleaning

    The "CIRRUS 2" is fastened to two risers and can be used with any two-point harnesses certified Artistic Display Flying No artistic display flying of any kind is allowed using the SWING-CIRRUS 2. Winch Starts Winch-assisted take-offs are permitted as long as the usual rules are obeyed, i.e.
