so that the accelerator is unintentionally engaged at all times in flight.
Please pay attention that the glider will not be pre-accelerated, while the
accelerator is loosened, when the acceleration ropes are set too short.
It is safest to take off with the speed-bar a little too long, progressively shortening
it during the next flights.
Remember that all adjustments have to be performed symmetrically, on both
sides and with mounted protectors.
Reversibile back pack
The reversible rucksack provides a
high capacity in combination with
simplicity in use.
To pack flying equipment, open the
zips of the rucksack completely, and
fold it over the back of the harness.
Ensure that the padded section
around the airbag inflation valve
does not suffer any tight folds which
could eventually mar its correct
functioning.
After having folded the paraglider
carefully, place it into the rucksack.
The remaining space above should
be sufficient to store the helmet,
instruments, and extra garments.
When all equipment has been placed inside, the rucksack can be tightened in
order to hold the contents firmly in position. This stabilizes the load and makes
carrying the rucksack more comfortable. The adjustment straps on the rucksack
shoulder straps can be used in the same way.
Adjustment of the harness
The harness provides a number of methods of adjustment so that the pilot can fly
in the ideal position. A little time has to be invested in finding the optimum position,
but this effort will be rewarded by exceptional comfort in flight.
Before making any adjustments, the reserve parachute must be in position. To find
the best position, we suggest hanging in your harness from a suitable point of
support, simulating flying position and conditions.
For this reason, it is best to place all the things that you would normally carry with
you when flying into the back pocket (rucksack, accessories, extra clothing and
other sundry items).
Leg strap adjustment
Because the leg straps are attached relatively high up, the pilot has considerable
freedom in thigh movement. Normally, the manufacturer's original setting should
be satisfactory.
However it is important to try reaching the correct seated position in the launch
phase without using your hands, by testing the movements in a flight simulator.
