WE WISH YOU MANY ENJOYABLE HOURS OF FLYING. We would like to be able to inform you of the latest news and developments at AIRDESIGN as well as offer relevant advice and special promotions. Please register your new paraglider by completing the registration form (in the annex) and return it to us.
Disclaimer and important advice for your own safety Please read carefully and follow this important advice: This Paraglider is an air-sport-vehicle with the obligation of type testing and with a glider weight of less than 120kg. It is not usable as skydiving-glider or for openings in free-fall. This paraglider complies, at the time of delivery, with the certification requirements of the German LTF (Lufttüchtigkeitsforderung) and with the European Norm EN - LTF 91/09 &...
The result is that we designed the EAZY to be as easy and fun as possible!

PILOT PROFLE As your first glider, the EAZY doesn‘t just get you through initial training easily, but also helps you develop your flying skills once you leave the school. Thanks to its performance and agile handling, it is the perfect choice for your first solo flights after school and for those pilots who seek the maximum safety that the EN A class offers.
RISERS: EAZY Launch Technique with the A-Riser To take-off grab the A-risers between the ‘EAZY LAUNCH’ marks, this is a little but lower than may be considered ‘normal’ to some pilots. This position prevents the canopy from collapsing if you pull too hard on the A-risers and makes take-off simple every time, especially for students...

This webbing prevents the risers from twisting and simplifies sorting out the risers and lines. 3-Hangpoint Risers The risers of the EAZY have three main riser connection, A, B, and C. Only the outer A-line is attached separately for big ears.

The long brake pulley webbing makes it easy to influence the turn behaviour. If you slide your inside hand towards yourself, the EAZY turns tighter and with more bank. If you push the brake away from you, the glider turns flatter and you have a better climb.
The trims of the PPG riser widen the usability of the EAZY. With closed or open trims the EAZY shows perfect starting- and handling characteristics. Depending on the conditions or the pilot’s abilities the speed can be adjusted via trims.
EAZY ideal for progression. The EAZY sits well within the limits of the LTF/EN-A class as proven by the certification test results in all manoeuvres. LTF and EN certification The AIRDESIGN EAZY is certified during official testing as LTF and EN ‘A’.
Hint! Towing is only recommended if: The pilot has received towing instruction The winch and release-links are suitable for towing paragliders The winch operator is experienced and qualified for towing paragliders Attention: Danger of accident! The most common reason for accidents during towing is when the pilot releases the A-riser too early during take-off.

Leg loops and strap are fastened correctly Main Karabiners are closed Before launch check that: Speed-system is connected correctly and runs smoothly through the pulleys Risers are not twisted Place brake handles in the hands and check brake lines are free Position pilot in centre of wing Check wind direction Check take off area is clear...
The key to successful launching is to practice ground-handling on flat ground as often as possible. The EAZY inflates easily and steadily using forward or reverse launch techniques. There is no tendency for the canopy to hang back during inflation. To forward (alpine) launch in light or nil wind there is no need to pull the risers hard.
Turning flight Even for a glider of this class your will notice the agile handling from the first flight. The EAZY is easy to turn at any bank angle, from flat through to steeply banked turns. Brake pressure is progressive which enables the pilot to feel the wing and helps prevent unintentional stalling.
WING. Landing The EAZY is easy to land, however, on your first flights you may be surprised at how well it glides. Take account of this when making your landing approach and give yourself the opportunity for S-turns or a longer approach than you might be used to.
For a normal, into-wind landing evenly pull the brakes all the way down when you are close to the ground and straighten up to land on your feet. The glider will stop almost completely as the brakes are fully applied. Avoid landing directly out of a turn or wing-over since the momentum of the pilot will be much greater due to the pendulum effect.
Recovery: The EAZY recovers from a spiral spontaneously as soon as the brakes are released and weight shift returns to neutral. To exit, allow the spiral to slow down for a turn or two by slowly releasing the inner brake.
Always finish a spiral dive at a safe altitude. The EAZY does not show any tendency for a stable spiral. That means the glider does not remain in spiral after releasing the brakes. If the glider should, in rare cases, remain in a stable spiral the pilot should first weight-shift to the outside and then brake slightly more on the outside.
During manoeuvres watch both the glider and altitude above the ground. Maintenance and Repairs The materials used to construct your EAZY have been carefully chosen for maximum durability. If you treat your glider carefully and follow these guidelines it will last you a long time.

The EAZY has nylon wire support in the leading edge which cannot break, but if packed badly (bending during packing) and stored for a long time may deform.
Page 23
6. Fold the wing up from the trailing edge into 2 or 3 folds, removing excess air and making sure that the packed leading edge is kept flat and outermost. DO NOT fold the leading edge back inside the wing. This may damage / distort the polyamide rods. 7.

Unpack shortly before take-off and pack the glider right after landing. The EAZY is lined with sheathed Aramid- and Dyneema lines. Take care not to stress any line mechanically. Overloading should be avoided as a stretching is non-reversible. Continuous bending of Aramid lines at the same spot weakens the strength.
The Final Word The EAZY will give you hours of fun and satisfaction in the air. We wish you lots of good flights. Treat your glider well and have respect for the demands and dangers of flying. We ask all pilots to fly with care and to respect the national and international laws with regard to our sport.
