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.

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 SwiftMAX will immediately 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
SwiftMAXisinatedcorrectly,acceleratesmoothlyoffthelaunch.
Reverse Launch - Light to Strong Winds
Layoutyourwingasyouwouldfortheforwardlaunch.However,thistimeturntofaceit,passingone
entiresetofrisersoveryourheadasyouturn.Nowyoucaninatethegliderwithyourbodyweightand
theA-risers.Oncethewingisoverhead,releasetherisers,brakegentlyifnecessary,turnandlaunch.
Instrongerwinds,bepreparedtotakeafewstepstowardsthegliderasitinates.Thiswilltakesomeof
theenergyoutoftheglideranditwillbelesslikelytooveryyou.Thisreverse-launchtechniquecanbe

yourweight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 white line 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

DO NOT perform spiral
dives with Big Ears
engaged.
I
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.

Donotfoldtheplasticreinforcements,use3or4foldsaround
theLE.
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.

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

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.
