  • Page 2 COSY 2 HF USER’S MANUAL WAY Gliders COSY 2 HF This manual offers all the necessary informaCon that will familiarize you with the main characterisCcs of your new paraglider. Although this manual informs you about your glider, it does not offer the instrucCon requirements necessary for you to be able to pilot this type of wing. Flying instrucCon can only be taught at a paragliding school recognized by the Flying FederaCon of your country. Nevertheless we remind you that it is important that you carefully read all the contents of the manual for your new COSY 2 HF. Severe injuries to the pilot can be the consequence of the misuse of this equipment. WAY Gliders COSY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.2, 03/01/2024 Page 2...

    The use of the SLE (Structured Leading Edge) allows reinforcement of the leading edge prevenCng any deformaCon during turbulence. The airflow is also vastly improved over the enCre front span of the glider. The RAM AIR INTAKE technology presents an internal posiConing for the air entrance to allow an opCmal maintenance of the internal pressure as well as an improving of the laminar flow on intrados. What’s the result? Gaining turbulent air absorpCon in the leading edge, more consistent at every speed and a be[er performance while assuring maximum security.

    Each glider is packaged following the maintenance and conservaCon instrucCons recommended for the advanced materials. WAY Gliders are made of first class materials as demanded by the performance, durability, and homologaCon requirements of the present-day market. InformaCon about construcCon materials is given on the last pages of this manual. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY 2.1 CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE We recommend that you unpack and assemble your wing on a schooling slope or a flat clear area without too much wind and free of obstacles. These condiCons will allow you to carry out all the steps required for you to check and inflate the COSY 2 HF. We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervises the enCre procedure as only they are competent to resolve any doubt in a safe and professional way. 2.2 PROCEDURE WAY Gliders COSY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.2, 03/01/2024 Page 7...

    On delivery the accelerator bar has not yet been installed and it is recommended that it is fit by yourself before flight. Most harnesses are equipped with a pre-installed acceleraCon system. When fieng any accelerator system ensure that all preinstalled items within the harness, such as roller pulleys are used correctly. Ager fieng, take into account that you will have to adjust the length of the accelerator lines for correct use. This will vary according to the length of the pilot’s legs! We recommend that you try the correct fieng of the acceleraCon system on equipment designed to do this, most paragliding schools have this sort of equipment.

    It reacts admirably in passive flight, thus offering a high level of safety in turbulent condiCons. Nonetheless, the pilot always has to pilot according to the prevailing weather condiCons, the pilot is the ulCmate safety factor. WAY Gliders COSY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.2, 03/01/2024 Page...

    flying at very low speed (while heavily braking). It is not easy to give any recommendaCons about this situaCon since it varies depending on the circumstances. Remember that you should restore the relaCve air speed over the wing. To achieve this, progressively reduce the pressure on the brake lines and let the wing gain speed. The normal reacCon would be a lateral surge with a turn tendency no greater than 360º before restoring to normal flight condiCons.

    Generally speaking, the reacCons of the wing, which follow over handling, are neither due to the input made or the intensity, but the length of Cme the pilot conCnues to over handle. You have to allow the profile to re-establish normal flight speed ager any type of handling. 4.3 USING THE ACCELERATOR WAY Gliders COSY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.2, 03/01/2024 Page...

    Before trying to remove a knot, make sure there are no pilots flying nearby and never try these manoeuvres near the mountainside. If the knot is too Cght and you cannot remove it, carefully and safely fly to the nearest landing place. LOSING HEIGHT The knowledge of the different descent techniques is an important resource to use in certain situaCons. The most adequate descent method will depend on the parCcular situaCon. We recommend that you learn to use these manoeuvres under the tuiCon of a competent school. 5.1 EARS WAY Gliders COSY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.2, 03/01/2024 Page...

    (G force). This can cause a loss of orientaCon and consciousness (blackouts). These are the reasons why it is best to carry out this manoeuvre gradually so your capacity to resist the G forces increases and you will learn to fully appreciate and understand the manoeuvre. Always pracCce this manoeuvre when flying at high alCtude. To start the manoeuvre, first lean your bodyweight and pull the brake line to the side to which you are leaning. You can regulate the intensity of the turn by applying a li[le outside brake. A paraglider flying at its maximum turn speed can reach –20 m/s, equivalent 70 km/h verCcal speed and stabilize in a spiral dive from 15 m/s onwards.

    Materials will wear more quickly than in normal flight. If you do pracCce extreme manoeuvres we recommend that you submit your wing to a line revision every six months. CARE AND MAINTENANCE 7.1 MAINTENANCE Careful maintenance of your equipment will ensure conCnued performance. The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed, if they become dirty, clean them with a sog damp cloth. If your wing gets wet with salty water, immerse it in fresh water and dry it away from direct sunlight. The sunlight may damage the materials of your wing and cause premature aging. Once you have landed, do not leave the wing in the sun, store it properly. WAY Gliders COSY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.2, 03/01/2024 Page...

  • Page 16: Storage

    24 months (whichever happens first). This is the only way to guarantee that your COSY 2 HF will conCnue to funcCon properly and therefore conCnue fulfilling the homologaCon cerCficate results. 7.4 REPAIRS If the wing is damaged, you can temporarily repair it by using the rip stop found in the repair kit, so long as no sCtches are involved in the tear. Any other type of tear must be repaired in a specialized repair shop or by qualified personnel. Do not accept a home repair. SAFETY AND RESPONSIBILITY It is well known that paragliding is considered a high-risk sport, where safety depends on the person who is pracCsing it. Wrong use of this equipment may cause severe injuries to the pilot, even death. Manufacturers and dealers are not responsible for any act or accident that may be the result of pracCcing this sport. You must not use this equipment if you are not trained. Do not take advice or accept any informal training from anyone who is not properly qualified as a flight instructor. GUARANTEE The enCre equipment and components are covered by a 2-year guarantee against any manufacture fault. The guarantee does not cover misuse or abnormal use of the materials.
