Although this manual informs you about your glider, it does not offer the instrucBon requirements necessary for you to be able to pilot this type of wing. Flying instrucBon can only be taught at a paragliding school recognized by the Flying FederaBon of your country. Nevertheless we remind you that it is important that you carefully read all the contents of the manual for your new LACY 2 HF. Severe injuries to the pilot can be the consequence of the misuse of this equipment. WAY Gliders LACY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.3, 03/01/2024 Page / 2 25...

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

    Each glider is packaged following the maintenance and conservaBon instrucBons recommended for the advanced materials. WAY Gliders are made of first class materials as demanded by the performance, durability, and homologaBon requirements of the present-day market. InformaBon about construcBon 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 condiBons will allow you to carry out all the steps required for you to check and inflate the LACY 2 HF. We recommend that an instructor or a retailer supervises the enBre procedure as only they are competent to resolve any doubt in a safe and professional way. 2.2 PROCEDURE WAY Gliders LACY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.3, 03/01/2024 Page / 7 25...

    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 acceleraBon 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 acceleraBon system on equipment designed to do this, most paragliding schools have this sort of equipment.

    This method will ensure that the profile remains in good shape without altering its form or its performance. The wing should then be folded in three parts taking care of not bending or twisBng the STE. The wing does not have to be Bghtly folded, if you do so it may damage the material and or the lines. IN FLIGHT 4.1 FLYING IN TURBULENCE The LACY 2 HF has an excellent profile to withstand the very different aero-logical condiBons so allowing the best possible piloBng and stability. It reacts admirably in passive flight, thus offering a high level of WAY Gliders LACY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.3, 03/01/2024 Page / 10 25...

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

Over handling Most flying incidents are caused by incorrect acBons of the pilot, which chained one ager another creates abnormal flying configuraBons (a cascade of incidents). You must remember that over handling the wing will lead to criBcal levels of funcBoning. The LACY 2 HF is designed always to try to recover normal flight by itself, do not try to over handle it.

    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 Bght 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 situaBons. The most adequate descent method will depend on the parBcular situaBon. We recommend that you learn to use these manoeuvres under the tuiBon of a competent school. WAY Gliders LACY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.3, 03/01/2024 Page / 13 25...

    (G force). This can cause a loss of orientaBon 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 pracBce this manoeuvre when flying at high alBtude. 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 liZle outside brake. WAY Gliders LACY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.3, 03/01/2024 Page / 14 25...

    Materials will wear more quickly than in normal flight. If you do pracBce 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 conBnued performance. The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed, if they become dirty, clean them with a sog damp cloth. WAY Gliders LACY 2 HF–User’s Manual– version1.3, 03/01/2024 Page / 15 25...

  • Page 16: Storage

    CHECKS AND CONTROLS You should ensure your LACY 2 HF is periodically serviced and checked at your local repair shop every 100 hours of use or every 24 months (whichever happens first). This is the only way to guarantee that your LACY 2 HF will conBnue to funcBon properly and therefore conBnue fulfilling the homologaBon cerBficate 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 sBtches 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 pracBsing 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 pracBcing this sport.
