You have just acquired a high-quality product, manufactured under one of the most - As owner of a Sol Paraglider you are responsible for all possible risks existing by using demanding industry standards worldwide. We are certain that this equipment will allow this equipment.
This paraglider is for specific use in tandem flight, requiring an advanced level of knowledge. Certification The Kuat 3 has a LTF / EN B certification. The certification details are available on: www.solparagliders.com.br. Special characteristics Comfort - Security - Performance - Easy handling - Long life...
Never and under no circumstances the line length can be altered! life. During all consideration and calculation, security always is our first goal.. The used material mix for the lines of the Kuat 3 forms an ideal combination: long life with little deformation and aerodynamic drag.
The Kuat 3 was tested within the standard of LTF with a harness of type GH. We can recommend for the Kuat 3 all harness of type ABS, tested with a carabiner connection Flight with engine height between 42 and 48 cm, measured form the seat and depending on the seize.

FLIGHT Forward Take off When ready to takeoff, the pilot must have risers A and the toggles in hand. The arms Take Off Check List must be extended to the side, as if they are extensions of risers A. A decisive run allows a quick and stable inflation.
The preparation is the same as to forward take off. But this time you have to turn towards The Kuat 3 is very sensitive, responding instantly to turn commands. Leveled turns the canopy. During the turn lift the hand which is turning away from the glider with the can be achieved with the shifting of weight on the risers with minimum altitude loss.
Landing Big ears Always choose a secure and clean landing side with lots of space, great distance to Push the line AR 1 on the riser A’ down and to the outside. Keep the line until the glider natural obstacles and is not under the influence of turbulent air. ear is closed.
B-Stall Lateral closing This maneuver provokes a parachute flight and as a result the paraglider is almost Active flying almost ever avoids lateral closing. If lateral closing happens, the canopy unable to be directed. folds predictable and progressively from the tip to the center. This corresponds a collapse To initiate the maneuver get the B risers closely to the quick links and push them of 50% or more and results in a slight tendency for a turn.
This paraglider does not have parachutal flight tendencies and recovers on its own from The Kuat 3 has a long way on the brakes and difficulties to enter in a negative spiral. But an intentional parachutal flight induced by braking commands. In case of a parachutal if one of the brakes is extremely pulled downwards it can happen.
PACKING YOUR PARAGLIDER Line Over If the tip of the wing is trapped in lines it could cause a positive spiral, which is difficult There are different ways who can help to extend the life of your paraglider. One way is to to control.
Traditional-Method Step 3: Now do it in the same way with the leading edge profiles. Put the Step 1: Bundle up your glider in form of a reinforcements of top and bottom in the cabbage. This way you’re avoiding that right way, don’t close the cell openings the glider drags over the ground during and push out the fabric.
Step 4: Fold the wing like an accordion from both sides and put one side over the other. Storing Now all reinforcements are laying side-wise one above the other. Most part of the glider fabric is Nylon. As all other synthetic materials it suffers and deteriorates under the influence of ultraviolet radiation (UV).
TIPS FOR CARE - Over-stressing of individual lines, more than normal load in flight, should be avoided. An excessive deformation is irreversible and can’t be undone. For the same reason avoid stepping on the lines, bending or folding them, especially the main lines. Step 3: Store your helmet and accessories - Always open the glider on clean ground, otherwise dirt could penetrate the fabric, between the glider and the harness or in...
