    1. Disclaimer and important advice for your own safety Please read carefully and follow this important advice:  This paraglider complies, at the time of delivery, with the certification requirements of the German LTF (Lufttüchtigkeitsforderung) and /or with the European Norm EN926. ...

  • Page 5: Construction

    EN-B class at a level that rises above normal expectations. The technology used in construction of the Rise is equivalent to a glider in the high performance class: 3D Cut – a technical sail cutting method used across the leading edge area.

  • Page 6: Overview

    Easy launch characteristics, confidence inspiring, precise handling, a wide speed range and high stability in turbulence make the RISE an equally perfect partner for fun flying as well as long cross country adventures. The RISE is constructed from top-quality materials: Porcher and Dominico cloth, Edelrid lines, Cousin Riser Webbing and Stubai pulleys.

  • Page 7: Technical Data

    The RISE is perfectly suited for the progressing pilot who has experience with a basic glider and is looking for a wing with more performance and agility. The RISE is also an ideal glider for those pilots stepping back from higher rated wings who want performance with greater passive safety.

  • Page 8: Harness

    RISE is not suitable for the use in the school environment as stated by the manufacturer. Recommended weight range The RISE must only be flown within the certified weight range as stated in the technical data under section 3. The take-off weight includes pilot plus clothing, glider, harness, equipment etc.

  • Page 9: B.check-List

    The key to successful launching is to practice ground-handling on flat ground as often as possible. The RISE inflates easily and steadily using forward or reverse launch techniques. There is no tendency for the canopy to hang back during inflation. The RISE rises constantly above the pilots head without overshooting.

  • Page 10: D.turning Flight

    Brake line length When you receive your new RISE, the brake line length is set the same as the AIRDESIGN test glider. This length has been finely tuned by AIRDESIGN test pilots and it should not be necessary to adjust it.

  • Page 11: Active Flying

    Landing The RISE 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...

  • Page 12: Towing And Winching

    In general, the regulated and enforced regulations must to be followed. j. Asymmetric and frontal collapses The RISE will normally re-inflate after an asymmetric collapse without input from the pilot, but the wing may turn towards the collapsed side. To support the reopening it´s recommended to pull the brakes on both sides.

  • Page 13: Reopening A Cravat

    The RISE recovers from a full stall automatically after the brakes are released. During correct recovery from a stable full stall, the RISE shows no tendency to surge strongly in front of the pilot.

  • Page 14: Going Down Fast

    Always finish a spiral dive at a safe altitude. The RISE does not show any tendency for a stable spiral ie. 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...

  • Page 15: B-Line Stall

    ATTENTION: The RISE is a high performance agile glider. When exiting a spiral too fast the conversion of energy may result in the glider climbing quickly and entering its own turbulence. This may cause the glider to collapse. We advise that you allow the RISE to exit from the spiral dive in a controlled manner.

  • Page 16: Maintenance And Repairs

    The RISE 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 17 Packing your AirDesign glider. 1. Lay the lines / risers / harness at the trailing edge of the wing. Collect the lines together and lay them as much as possible on top of the wing fabric. This protects the lines during packing and storage.
  • Page 18 In case of questions please contact AIRDESIGN directly. Material wear: The RISE consists mainly of Nylon cloth. This material does not lose much strength or become porosity through exposure to UV radiation. However, despite this, the pilot should take care to not expose the glider...

  • Page 19: Checking The Glider

    Do not pull the glider over rough ground; his can damage the cloth at the contact points. Do not too pack the glider too tightly. The total line length documents for each size of the RISE are found in the annex. 10. Checking the glider Even with the best possible care each glider is subjected to a certain ageing which can affect the flying characteristics, performance and safety.

  • Page 20: The Final Word

    11. The final Word The RISE 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. Even the safest glider cannot help avoid a situation where a pilot misjudges the circumstances or makes errors.
