- Page 6 The POPERA was born to realize the desire of the pilot to fly faster, higher and farther. Based on the 2liner system, POPERA is the best glider with minimum air resistance and best glide ratio from CFD optimized analysis.

- is A2 and has been designed this way to make applying big ears easily. They also feature ergonomic wooden handles for efficient B-riser control. The Difference of riser length should be no more than ±5 mm. The POPERA has no trimmer. -
Page 8: Pre-Flight Check
To know yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inflations and ground handling in advance. You should have no difficulties flying the POPERA for the first time in suitable conditions, but as with all new equipment. - Page 9 11. Deflations In spite of the POPERA has great stability of the flight, strong turbulence or piloting error may cause a portion of the wing suddenly to be a deflation. it is a EN-D glider therefore active piloting is recommended in case of an asymmetric or frontal collapse.
- Page 10 DAVINCI GLIDERS / POPERA 11.2 Frontal collapse The profile of the POPERA has been designed to widely tolerate extreme changes in the angle of attack. A symmetric collapse may occur in heavy turbulent conditions, on entry or exit of strong thermals or lack of adapting the use of the accelerator to the prevailing air conditions.
- Page 11 DAVINCI GLIDERS / POPERA 11.6 B stall Traditional B-line stalls are not possible with 2 liners glider like POPERA. Pulling the B lines firmly will result in a full stall. Do not do it. 11.7 Cravat If the tip of your wing gets stuck in the lines, this is called a cravat. Due to the large amount of drag, cravats can turn your wing into a spiral dive very quickly.
- Page 12 14. SIV and Collapse lines The POPERA was certified with the use of collapse lines, therefore if you wish to induce collapses during SIV training, collapse lines must first be installed correctly. Collapse lines are available as an optional extra and should be added to the wing before inducing collapses.

Page 13: Maintenance And Cleaning
Avoid packing the glider where it is wet or abrasive conditions(sand, asphalt pavement, concrete). We recommend when you don’t use the POPERA for a long time, store POPERA lay on the flat table or bottom without any bending plastics. - Page 14 Do not leave marked tracks and do not leave rubbish behind. Do not make unnecessary noise and respect sensitive biological areas. The materials used on a paraglider should be recycled. Please send old Davinci gliders back to us Davinci Gliders offices. We will undertake to recycle the glider.
