Page 4: Welcome In Our Team
Welcome in our team Congratulations on the purchase of your new UP Rimo 2. UP International is renowned across the globe for designing and building the finest paragliders available – paragliders characterised by maximum safety, performance and quality in every aspect. -
Page 5: Safety Instructions
Technical description The UP Rimo 2 was built to fulfil the expectations to a modern, safe and fast entry-level wing. The launching is excellent and the performance figures impressive. -
Page 6: Purpose
If you have not been taught these skills we recommend acquiring them in a controlled environment, like a safety training over water. This will also teach you to get the most out of your UP Rimo 2 in many other regards. -

Page 8: Design
This significantly improves performance by reducing induced drag. Of course, all line diameters on the RIMO 2 are optimized, and the number of lines is limited to the bare minimum to keep drag to a minimum. Should your wing accumulate dirt inside the canopy, you can easily remove it from the outside of the wing by opening the Easy Clean Pockets (ECP). - Page 9 ______________________________________________________________________________ C Risers: Black/no marking In order to accommodate different pilot sizes, the Rimo 2 risers are lenght-adapted to the canopy size – XS, S/SM and M/L. This little detail improves the ergonomics of the wing and makes all the different manoeuvres (b-line stalls, BigEars) more accessible to every size of pilots, from the smallest to the tallest.

Page 10: Before The First Flight
Position of the brakes The UP Rimo 2 is delivered from the factory with what we feel is the best brake position for most pilots. But tall or short pilots, or those with a harness with non-standard attachment points might consider it necessary to change the position of the brake handles. -
Page 11: Speed System
The Rimo 2 can be flown with any harness with the main suspension point at about chest height. The lower the suspension point of the harness, the easier it is to steer the UP Rimo 2 by shifting your weight. The harness should ensure that the UP Rimo 2 can be accelerated up to maximum speed via the pulleys of the acceleration system (both Riley pulleys of the riser are on top of each other). -
Page 12: Powered Paragliding
Powered Paragliding The UP Rimo 2 has not been tested for use with any kind of engine. If you wish to fly your UP Rimo 2 with a motor please get in touch with the manufacturer of the engine unit, with UP International GmbH and with the governing body for ultralight flying in your area, to check on certification of this configuration. -
Page 13: Speed Control
A risers. As the glider comes above your head, you should glance up to see that the entire canopy is inflated and flying. The UP Rimo 2 has a low surge tendency, so there is usually no necessity to brake to stop the glider from over-flying you. -
Page 14: Turning
If needed the UP Rimo 2 will turn very tight. To do this, apply some brake input on both sides, and then release the outside brake whilst applying further brake on the inside – this will reduce turning radius to a minimum. -
Page 15: Flight Safety
Thermals and Turbulence In turbulent air, the UP Rimo 2 should be flown with a little brake to increase the angle of attack and provide greater stability. While flying in strong or broken thermals, it is important that you concentrate on keeping the wing centrally above your head. -
Page 16: Steep Spiral Dive
The glider will drop back a little as it stalls, and then centralize over your head. With 15 cm or so of pull a sink rate of up to 9 meters per second can be achieved. With less pull you will get a decrease in sink rate. -
Page 17: Flying Outside The Normal Flight Envelope
Note that we advice against performing extreme manoeuvres while flying in the Big Ears configuration. Inducing large Big Ears on the UP Rimo 2 when flying near its lower weight limit requires great caution on the amount of brake input used, as it may deep stall in extreme cases. Should this happen use the recovery technique described in the ‘Deep Stall’... -
Page 18: Cravatte
A negative angle of attack occurring through turbulence or from simultaneously pulling down both A-risers results in a full frontal collapse of the leading edge of the canopy. The UP Rimo 2 will normally reinflate quickly on its own, but can be assisted through the application of a light double- sided symmetrical brake input. -
Page 19: Fullstall
BEWARE! The UP Rimo 2 is a agile glider, and it is quite easy to get to an excessively high angle of bank in just a few turns. Practice wingovers gently at first, as there is a chance of quite large collapses at high bank angles. -
Page 20: Further References
Overloading The UP Rimo 2 is a very strong paraglider, and flying all the usual SIV and acro manoeuvres will not normally pose a structural problem. However, frequent acro training does accelerate the ageing process dramatically, and UP recommends having wings that are often used for acro or... -
Page 21: Salt Water
Packing the paraglider The Rimo 2 is supplied with a FlexBag in the right size for the respective canopy size. The canopy is laid out flat with the suspension points facing upwards, then fold the ends together towards the middle. -

10° and 25° C with a relative humidity of between 50 and 75%. The UP Rimo 2 should not be exposed to extreme heat (e.g. in the trunk of a parked car in summer). The heat will force any remaining moisture through the fabric, which can damage the... -
Page 23: Cleaning
Adhesive sail Minor damage such as tears or small holes up to a size of 2 x 2 cm, which can be carried out without special equipment, may be carried out by the pilot himself. Each glider is supplied with adhesive tape for this purpose. -
Page 24: Professional Competence
UP or an UP Service Center Professional competence To ensure that your UP Rimo 2 offers maximum functionality and safety at all times, you should entrust its maintenance and repair to UP International. Our service staff are fully trained to carry out any work on your glider professionally and correctly. -
Page 25: Delivery Service
Adhesive sail Delivery service Before your UP glider left the workshop, all the work carried out was checked again and carefully tested. In addition, a comprehensive inspection was carried out by the UP service team or a recognized service company before the glider was delivered to ensure that your Rimo 2 complies with UP International standards and the type-approved device. -
