  • Page 4: Disclaimer And Important Advice For Your Own Safety

    Disclaimer and important advice for your own safety Please read carefully and follow this important advice:  This Paraglider is an air-sport-vehicle with the obligation of type testing and with a glider weight of less than 120kg. It is not usable as skydiving-glider or for openings in free-fall. ...

  • Page 5: Construction

    EN-D class. AirDesign have now refined the PURE genes to bring the PURE flying sensation into the EN-C class. The result is the brand-new VOLT. The VOLT is aimed at sports class, cross-country and competition pilots who want ease of handling with top-end performance in the class.
  • Page 6 Launch characteristics are impeccable. The immediate feeling of comfort and stability is becoming a trademark of AirDesign gliders. In the words of the AirDesign gliders architect, Stephan Stiegler: “It’s one of the best gliders I ever made … a glider perfect for those pilots coming into the EN-C class as well as those who maybe wary of moving onto the new EN-D wings”...

  • Page 7: Technical Data

    The AIRDESIGN VOLT is NOT suitable for training or use in the school environment. Recommended weight range The VOLT 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 8: Harness

    The VOLT is type-tested for use with all modern harnesses – rated as GH. Towing / winching The VOLT is suitable for towing/winching. The use of a suitable tow-adapter is not obligatory but is helpful and gives more confidence during towing.

  • Page 9: Take-Off

    Turning flight Your will notice the very precise handling from the first flight. The VOLT is easy to turn at any bank angle, from flat through to steeply banked turns.

  • Page 10: Brake Line Length

    Brake line length The brake-line length of your new VOLT has been finely tuned by AIRDESIGN test pilots and it should not be necessary to adjust it. If you feel it is necessary to adjust the brake-line length to suit physical build, height of harness hang points, or style of flying we recommend you ground handle the glider before you test-fly it and carry out this process after every 20mm of adjustment.

  • Page 11: Accelerating

    The VOLT is designed to be flown actively. To aid this, the C-risers are fitted with a control ball which helps the pilot to hold the C-riser comfortably. When flying in turbulence, instead of pulling the brakes it is possible to pull down the C-risers.

  • Page 12: Towing And Winching

    Towing and winching When towing or winching, the glider must be above the pilots head before starting. In the initial phase the tension should not be too high – a pilot climbing at a flatter angle has more control. Tension of more than 90kp is not allowed. In any situation, the maximum permitted tension on the line must not exceed the pilot’s weight.

  • Page 13: Negative Spin

    Negative spin We recommend that this manoeuvre is only carried out during a safety training course over water and under supervision. The intention in this situation is for a pilot to discover the point- of-spin and to control it. This demands a high level of experience and skill. The longer the time between the glider entering a spin and the pilot attempting to recover, the more chance there is of it becoming out of control.

  • Page 14: B-Line Stall

    ATTENTION: The VOLT is an agile high performance 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 VOLT to exit from the spiral dive in a controlled manner.

  • Page 15: Big-Ears" With B-Line

    During manoeuvres watch both the glider and altitude above the ground. Maintenance and Repairs The materials used to construct your VOLT have been carefully chosen for maximum durability. If you treat your glider carefully and follow these guidelines it will last you a long time.
  • Page 16 The VOLT 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 6. Fold the wing up from the trailing edge into 2 or 3 folds, removing excess air and making sure that the packed leading edge is kept flat and outermost. DO NOT fold the leading edge back inside the wing. This may damage / distort the polyamide rods. 7.
  • Page 18 Unpack shortly before take-off and pack the glider right after landing. The VOLT is lined with unsheathed Aramid lines in the top- and middle cascades and with sheathed Aramid-lines at the main-lines. Take care not to stress any line mechanically.

  • Page 19: Checking The Glider

    The Final Word The VOLT 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.
