Page 3: Dear Independence Pilot
1. Dear Independence Pilot It is our pleasure to welcome you to the world of Independence pilots. The new Voyager Biplace paraglider was developed to suit tandem-pilots that enjoy superior performance, high speed and agility, but still want a high level of security. -
Page 4: Technical Description
Construction of the canopy: The canopy of the Voyager Biplace is made of Porcher Marine Skytex Ripstop Nylon-fabric Art. 9017 E77a and Skysport D70. In this synthetic fabric a reinforced thread-net is woven in, which stops the fabric from further tearing and is increasing the firmness at the seams. - Page 5 Functionality and handling: The trimmers influence the take-off and flight-behaviour! In normal-flight-position all risers have the same length, that means the trimmers are pulled down. To accelerate the glider the adjustment-buckles of the trimmer have to be pushed.

6.1. Harness The Voyager Biplace has been developed and authorised with harnesses according to the LTF Type “GH”. Due to the reserve-parachute the pilot should use a special tandemharness. This is optimized for tandemflying. - Page 7 Pos.1 Pos.2 Pos.4 Pos.6 Pos.3 Pos.5 6.4. Attachmentpoints of the T-Bar The regular fixpoint for the paraglider is pos. 1. If the passenger is lightweight, to balance the weight pos.2 can be used Usually the pilot clips in at pos. 3, the passenger at pos. 5.

Page 8: How To Check Your Paraglider
Just like with takeoff, there are two different landingtechniques: a) Passenger in front of the pilot: With stronger headwind this is without problems, since no running is neccessary. Otherwise you can encounter the same problems as in takeoff. - Page 9 (see in the manual of the harness!!) If there is any defect, you are definitely not allowed to take-off! The easiest way to take off with the Voyager Biplace is to lay it out in an arc. You have to lay it out against the wind.

Page 10: Level Flight
The most important thing during the take-off is, like at all other gliders too, not the force but the constancy of the pull. Because the Voyager Biplace is very easy to lift up, you have to brake it a little bit on steep take-off areas or in strong wind conditions, to avoid that the glider is overtaking you. -
Page 11: Winch Launching (Towing)
The Voyager Biplace is easy to land. During the final approach against the wind you let glide the Voyager Biplace with slightly pulled brake-lines (just a little bit, to give the glider more stability!). When you are approx. 1 meter above the ground you increase the angle of attack by steadily pulling both brake-lines and braking the gliders flight thereby. -
Page 12: Symmetric Or Front Tuck (Frontals)
If the canopy and the lines are in good working condition, the Voyager Biplace will speed up again automatically after 2-3 seconds. Should this fail to happen you must push the A-risers forward or use the speed-system of the glider. -
Page 13: Emergency-Steering
12.8. Emergency-steering: In the event of loosing control of the steering lines, the Voyager Biplace can be flown easily with the rear risers (D lines). A stall happens quicker when steering with the rear risers, as if steered with the brake lines. The way of steering with the rear risers ia at approx. -
Page 14: B-Line Stall
13.3. B-line Stall: The B-Stall with the Voyager Biplace needs a lot of strength, because of the high wing-load (Tandem). Both B- risers are pulled down slowly and symmetrically up to 20cm. The glider stalls and gets into a vertical descent flight. - Page 15 Care: In time the UV rays will damage the material of the paraglider. Therefore don´t leave the Voyager Biplace out in the sun unnecessarily. Take care that the paraglider will not get dirty while laying it out. The dirt particles can damage the material.
- Page 16 (betwenn main- and top-lines) gets the description “M”. For example: CM4 = 4th middle- section-line from the middle of the glider on the C-level (at the Voyager Biplace M: 250 cm) The main-lines ( down at the risers) gets the additional description “R”. For example: AR3 = 3rd A-main-line from the middle of the canopy (at the Voyager Biplace M: 600 cm) 16.1.
