is not advisable & it should be released as soon as soon as turbulent air is encountered.

Each and every glider has a checklist note passed though our strict quality control in the
factory. This included line measurement, ground inflation and flight testing. Contact
your distributor for more information about this, and if your glider has not been pre-
inflated ask him to do so for you. Every glider should be test flow before it is sold.
Note that each glider has a unique sticker attached to the centre airfoil with the serial
number, type of glider, size and weight range.
We recommend that your first flight on your new glider be on a gentle slope in calm con-
ditions before making your any further higher flights, just to check the glider and for you
to get used to flying it. We also recommended that you use a
Windtech harness, spe-
cially designed for this glider. It has an ABS cross strap system and the maximum width
possible for the chest strap is 38 cm between karabiners.
For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and
Wind-SOS reserve.

Choose an open space free of any
obstacles, especially trees and
power lines.
Open your glider in a slight horses-
hoe arc (semi-circle) & thoroughly
check that you have no knots or line
twists. Make sure your helmet is
securely fastened & clip into your
harness making sure all straps are
securely fastened.
Connect risers to your harness
making certain that your karabiners
are fully closed & you have no
twists in the risers.
