- Page 7 TAKE-OFF, FLIGHT, AND FLYING TECHNIQUES The Flow Fusion LIGHT should be flown as a normal paraglider. However, there are several points listed below which should help you to familiarize with your new paraglider. Fusion LIGHT was designed as a foot launchable solo paraglider and can also be tow-launched. It is the pilot’s responsibility to use suitable harness attachments and release mechanisms and to ensure that they are correctly trained on the equipment and system employed.
- Page 8 Landing Because of the exceptional glide for this type of glider, high caution is recommended in the stages of approaching and landing. The Fusion is a fast glider, any action on the brakes may cause significant reactions. It is therefore recommended to execute the first flights in a familiar environment and under easy conditions.
- Page 9 • B-line Stall Due to the hybrid 3-2 line layout, B–line stall is not an efficient and stable descent manoeuvre on the Fusion, therefore not recommende. • Big Ears : Big ears is a moderate descent method, reaching -3 or -4 m/s, speed reduces slightly between 3 and 5 km/h and piloting becomes limited.

However, it does reduce the angle of attack and therefore there is a risk of a frontal (or asymmetric) collapse. We therefore do not advise to use the speed bar near the ground. C Riser Steering –...
