    you, and remember that if your flying weight is below the stated minimum, the speed range will diminish and inflation problems may appear. Also the handling will degrade in turbulent conditions, and it will be easier to sustain collapses. If your flying weight is above the stipulated weight range, this will result in a higher minimum speed and faster landing speed and the stall speed of the glider will also be higher.

    have no twists in the risers. > strong wind We recommended that the reverse launch is the best technique when the wind is strong at take off. There are many reverse launch methods/techniques which the pilot can learn. To progress well with your flying, and to be a good pilot, it is necessary to master at least one of the techniques.
  • Page 10: Asymmetric Tuck

    With the correct technique & qualified instruction the pilot can learn to help stop collap- ses by flying “actively” & recover the wing more quickly, by the giving the correct input, when collapses occur. Remember, the glider is tested to recover and so it is always better to under-react than to over-react.

    input and, once the glider is overhead, symmetrically applying 40 % of both brakes & then releasing immediately will get pressure back in to the glider and speed up the reco- very. Do not brake when the glider is behind you, as this can stall the wing, but wait for the glider to come forwards above your head, then brake.
  • Page 12: Weather To Fly

    Before going flying you should check the weather forecast & always ask more experien- ced pilots about the conditions expected for the day. Never fly if there weather condi- tions are unsuitable, especially with any of the following present or even threatening: Strong wind;...

    and it is very easy to become disorientated. This manoeuvre is not approved for bank angles higher than 60 º. At this upper limit the sink rate of the canopy is approximately 10 m/s and the overload is equal to 2G's. For bank angles higher than 60 degrees the sink rate can achieve 20 m/s but the greater overload (High gravitational forces - G's) can cause eyesight and equilibrium problems, and cause some people to 'black out' (faint), which consequently can make the manoeu-...

    We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by Windtech the distributor at least once a year. Besides this you should check periodically the lines, cloth and stitching.
