The speed can be regulated by varying the pressure on the bar. 2.5.2 CHANGING THE RISER CORDS which the speed-bar is used causes the cord to wear and you may need to replace them. restrictions which is very useful for some models of harnesses.

4.1 FLYING IN TURBULENCE Negative spin degree of passive safety, even in turbulent conditions. All paragliders must be piloted for the prevailing conditions and the pilot is the ultimate safety factor. We recommend active flying in turbulent conditions, always taking measures to maintain control of the wing, preventing it from collapsing and restoring the speed required by the wing after each correction.
Over-controlling important to maintain brake pressure until the glider has returned to its default overhead flying position. unpredicted incidents. We should note that the wrong inputs can lead to loss of control of the glider. The To resume normal flight conditions, progressively and symmetrically release the brake line tension to regain air speed.

for each glider, depending on the conditions of each flying area, climatic conditions, temperature, humidity, type of terrain, wing loading, etc. we have the necessary information to be able to know the real behaviour of the lines. With this knowledge we can keep our gliders in the optimum condition for more flights without any loss of performance due to use.
