Page 4: General Information
Mystic. The Flow Paragliders Mystic is our EN C 2liner glider designed for the upper intermediate and experienced pilot. The Mystic is in the vanguard of paragliding design. -
Page 5: Pilot's Profile
Mystic. When it comes to landing the Mystic, the new airfoil allows pilots to slow the glider down incredibly easily, finding the smallest spot to land with plenty of warning and control about the stall speed. -

Page 7: Take-Off And Flying Techniques
TAKE-OFF, FLIGHT, AND FLYING TECHNIQUES The Mystic should be flown as a normal paraglider. However, there are several points listed below which should help you to familiarize with your new paraglider quicker. The Mystic was designed as a foot launchable solo paraglider only. The Mystic may 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
Landing Because of the exceptional glide for this type of glider, high caution is recommended in the stages of approaching and landing. The Mystic 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: Rapid Descent
Do not do it. • Big ears : Due to the incredible solid aerofoil on this glider, big ears in a traditional way doesn’t work on the Mystic. We recommend the pulling the Bmain3 tip Stall technique for this descend manoeuvre. -
Page 10: Drag Chute
Use of brakes Mystic’s best glide is at a trim speed (no brakes) – about 39 km/h. The minimum sink rate is achieved by applying approx. 15% of the brakes. When using more than 30% of the brakes, the aerodynamics and the performance of the glider are likely to deteriorate and the effort to manoeuvre will increase quickly. -
Page 11: Asymmetric & Frontal Collapses
ASSYMETRIC & FRONTAL COLLAPSES Despite the tests proving Mystic recovers on its own after collapses, it is a EN C glider therefore active piloting is recommended in case of an asymmetric or frontal collapse. Active piloting will reduce the loss of altitude and a change of direction. -
Page 12: Full Stall
FLYING WITHOUT BRAKES If a brake line or pulley breaks, it is possible to fly the Mystic using the B-risers (rear riser). The movements must be well controlled as the deformation of the wing, due to the traction on the B risers, is greater than that produced by using the brakes... -
Page 13: Cravats
SIV AND COLLAPSE LINES The Mystic 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. The collapse lines will come with an added-on instruction manual and an extra manual explaining how they should be installed properly. -
Page 14: Adjustment Of The Harness
ADJUSTMENT OF THE HARNESS For test flights the pilots used ABS harnesses with the following set-up: SIZE Distance from seat board Distance between hang points Mystic XS 43cm 44cm Mystic S 43cm 46cm Mystic M 43cm 46cm Mystic L 43cm 46cm We recommend adjusting the harness in a very similar way to the test adjustment. -
Page 15: Maintenance & Checks
MAINTENANCE & CHECKS The Flow Mystic is a high-end piece of equipment and should be technically and periodically checked to ensure proper airworthiness. Maintenance tips The life of your paraglider therefore depends largely on the care which you maintain and use it. To maximize life span of your wing, respect the following rules: •... -

Page 18: Riser Diagram
RISER DIAGRAM The Mystic has been EN C certified with 2 risers per side. The A1 riser is covered with RED webbing, to allow for easy identification. The A risers are split into two, the smaller riser - holding only the outermost Amain3 line. They also feature ergonomic handles for efficient B-riser control. -

Page 22: Overall Measurements
OVERAL LINE MEASUREMENTS The overall length (riser lines + mid lines + upper lines) must be checked under 5Kgs of tension. The difference between the measured length and the original length should not exceed +/- 10mm. The changes that could appear are a slight shrink on the B’s and/or a slight stretch on the A’s. -
