Note that the glide angle is not affected by the wing loading, but that the security is.
Always fly a glider that is the correct size for you, and remember that if your flying
weight is below the stated minimum, the speed range will diminish and inflation prob-
lems may appear. Also the handling will degrade in turbulent conditions, and it will be
easier to sustain collapses. If your flying weight is above the stipulated weight range, this
will result in a higher minimum speed and faster landing speed and the stall speed of the
glider will also be higher.

Each and every glider has a checklist note passed though our strict quality control in the
factory. This includes line measurement, ground inflation and flight testing. Contact your
distributor or with
Windtech for more information about this, and if your glider has not
been pre-inflated ask them to do so for you. Every glider should be test flown before it
is sold.
Note that each glider has a unique
sticker attached to the centre cell
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 conditions
before making 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 harness that has an ABS
cross strap system and that the
maximum width possible for the
chest strap is 38 cm between kara-
biners.
For you own safety, we strongly
recommend the use of back pro-
tection, helmet and
Windtech
