WELCOME TO ZOOM! With the purchase of your X2C you become a team member of ZOOM and we are glad that you give us trust in our products! ZOOM a brand of Papesh GmbH Dorfstrasse 7 6212 Maurach - AUSTRIA OPERATION MANUAL IEnclosed in this manual you´ll find all essential information about your X2C.
Liros Kevlar 13mm CERTIFICATION The X2c has passed the certification (EN 926-1; EN926-2; NfL II 91/09) with EN C/ LTF D. All certification results are only limited to the prevailing and most calm conditions during the test flights. Therefore, the certification can not give you all information about the reaction of the glider in turbulent or thermal conditions..
120 kg in the paraglider category. SCOPE OF DELIVERY With your X2C you will get a Concertina Bag, two packing tubes, a repair kit, a mini windsock, a band, and a keychain. Each ZOOM glider must be test flown and inspected by a ZOOM dealer before delivering it to the customer.
RISERS The risers of your X2C are fitted with colored stripes which makes it easier to attach the risers to the harness. The left riser and main brake are marked with an red stripe and the right riser and main brake with an grey stripe. This makes it easy to detect twisted risers during pre-flight.
5. Wind direction and Windspeed ok? START Despite his high aspect ration the X2C is easy to launch with forward as well as backwards start technique. To launch the X2C use the A-risers. The wing inflates symmetrically from the center and rises continuously above the pilot. Even in light wind conditions the X2C requires only a moderate impulse on the A-risers.
When the minimum speed is reached, pull the brakes to the max to land your X2C. During strong headwinds adjust your brakes carefully. Only when the pilot is safely on the ground, the wing can be stalled with care.
When this collapse affects only a small part of the wing, the reaction of the X2C will be moderate. If, for instance, more than 50% of the wing is affected, the glider will show a signifi- cant more dynamic reaction.
In difference to the asymmetric side collapse, the entire leading edge will collapse. In most cases, the X2C will reopen the collapsed frontal part of wing without pilot inputs. To speed up the reopening, we recom- mend a small amount of both brake application.
UTo able to fly a glider like the X2C safely, it is essential that the pilot can fly a controlled fullstall in any condition and situation. Especially, after a cravat/li- ne over the fullstall is most properly the only maneuver to correct the situation and come back to normal flight.
WINCH LAUNCH The X2C can be used for winch starts without restrictions. Please assure, that you climb in a flat angle from the ground. We recommend the use of a towing adap- ter.
Each ZOOM glider will be delivered with a repair kit. Other spare parts can be ordered by your ZOOM dealer or directly at ZOOM. Tears or holes up to 3cm length, which are not positioned close to seam can be repaired with the ZOOM repair kit with consists of ripstop material.
Neither the manufacturer nor the seller of a paraglider can guarantee or be held responsible for the pilot’s safety. LINE LENGTH All line length details can be retained on the ZOOM homepage (www.zoom-para- gliders.com/dl/x2c or please scan the following QR-Code EN/V1_2024...
