IMPORTANT

In the unlikely

event of a brake line

snapping in ight, or

a handle becoming

detached, the glider

can be own by

gently pulling the rear

risers (C-risers) for

directional control.

BASIC FLIGHT TECHNIQUES

Launching

Your wing will launch with either the forward or reverse technique. The wing should be laid out in a

pronouncedarc,withthecentreofthewinghigherthanthewingtips.

Forward Launch - Nil to Light winds

Whenthewindisfavourable,whilstgentlyholdingtheArisersmoveforwardpositively,yourlinesshould

becometightwithinoneortwostepsandthewingwillstarttoinate.Youshouldmaintainaconstant

pressureontherisersuntilthewingisoverhead.Donotpulldownorpushtherisersforwardexcessively,

or the leading edge will deform and possibly collapse making taking-off more difcult and potentially

dangerous.

Movesmoothlythroughouttheentirelaunch,thereisnoneedtorushorsnatchatit.Youshouldhave

plentyoftimetolookupandcheckyourcanopybeforecommittingyourself.Onceyouarehappythatthe

Wispisinatedcorrectly,acceleratesmoothlyoffthelaunch.

Reverse Launch - Light to Strong Winds

andcoordinatedturnswiththeWisprstlookinthedirectionyouwanttogo,thenleanintoit.Yourrst

shiftandusetheouterbrake.

IMPORTANT

Never initiate a turn at

minimum speed (i.e.

with full brakes on) as

you could risk entering

a spin.

IMPORTANT

In turbulent conditions

return the trimmers

to the ‘standard trim’

position.

IMPORTANT

Never take off with

a glider that is not

fully inated or if you

are not in control of

the pitch/roll of your

wing.

NOTE

It is recommended

to pilot the wing with

the rear risers during

accelerated ight.

IMPORTANT

Induce Big ears one

side at a time

DO NOT perform spiral

dives with Big Ears

engaged.

MPORTANT

The pitching movement

on exiting the B stall is

small but necessary.

We recommend you do

not brake the glider

until you are sure that

the glider is ying

properly

again.

IMPORTANT

Always be prepared

to pilot the wing out

of a spiral dive. Use

opposite weight shift

and apply enough

outside brake to

stop the wing from

spiralling.

IMPORTANT

Only a few cms of

input from your

brakes can maintain

your wing in the stall.

Always release your

wraps if you have

taken them!

IMPORTANT

Never y in the rain or

with a wet glider

IMPORTANT

A bad preparation

on launch, aerobatic

ying, ying a wing of

too high a level or in

conditions too strong

for your ability are

the main causes of

cravats.

If using a Saucisse pack go to Step 8.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT lay the wing

at on the ground before packing the

glider, this will cause abrasion damage

to the top surface as you pull the glider

towards the middle. ALWAYS pack from

a mushroom or lift the wing off the

ground when gathering the wing and

grouping the leading edge.

IMPORTANT: Do not fold the glider in the centre, you

will bend the plastics, instead pack the wing with a full

concertina method from tip to tip before packing into the

stuff sac.

Caring Tips

itupandcarryit.

•DONOTtrytoopenyourwinginstrongwindswithoutuntanglingthelinesrst-thisputsunnecessary

•DONOTwalkonthewingorlines.

•DONOTrepeatedlyinatethegliderandthenallowittocrashbackdown.Trytokeepthismovement

assmoothaspossiblebymovingtowardsthegliderasitcomesdown.

•DONOTslamyourgliderdownonthegroundleadingedgerst!Thisimpactputsgreatstrainonthe

•FLYINGinsaltyair,in areas with abrasivesurfaces(sand,rocksetc.)andground handling in strong

•DONOTyintherainorexposethewingtomoisture.

•DONOTexposethewingtounnecessaryUV.Packawayonceyouhavenishedying.Donotleaveit

sittinginthesun.

•Ifyouywithawrap,youshouldregularlyundothetwistingthatappearsonthemainbrakelines.By

twistingthelinebecomeshorterandyoucanendupwithaconstanttensiononthetrailingedge(which

canleadtoproblemonlaunch,stalling,glidernotyingsymmetrically,...)

•Changeyourmainbrakelinesiftheyaredamaged.

•Becarefulwhengroundhandlingtonotsawthebrakelinesagainsttherisersormainlines.Theabrasion

causedbyasawingmotioncandamagethemainlinesandleadtoprematureageingoftherisers.Ifyou

Thishasbeendesignedtoeasilyemptyallthethingswhichhavebeenaccumulatinginyourwing(sand,

•ItisrecommendedthatyouregularlyCHECKyourwing,especiallyafteraheavyperiodofuse,afteran

incidentorafteralongperiodofstorage.

Storage and Transport

Alwaysstoreallyouryingequipmentinadryroom,protectedfromdirectheatandsunlight.Yourwing

shouldbedrybeforebeingpackedaway.Moisture,heatandhumidityaretheworstelementsfordamaging

yourglider.Storingadampgliderinyourcarunderthesunwouldbeterribleforexample.

Ifyoulandinsaltwater,youmustrstrinseitthoroughlywithcleanfreshwater.Drythewingcompletely,

preferablyoutofthesun,inthewind.Neveruseahairdryer,etc.

Takecarethatnoinsectsgetpackedawaywiththewing.Theymayeattheclothandmakeholesinabid

toescape.Theycanalsoleaveacidicdepositsiftheydieanddecompose.

Transportthewinginthesuppliedbagsandkeepawayfromoils,paints,chemicals,detergentsetc.

Cleaning

Anykindofwiping/scratchingcandamagethecoatingofthecloth.Werecommendtonotcleanthewing,

butifyoudohaveto,useasoftclothdampenedwithasmallamountofwaterandusegentlemovements

littlebylittleacrossthesurface.

Wing Repairs

Always let a registered dealer, professional repair centre or the manufacturer carry out any major or

complexrepairs,especiallythosenearseammargins.

If you damage the sail:
