The Airfield
Verify the suitability of the airfield (see safety notices). This area should be
free from large obstacles such as trees or houses. The airfield must be free
from tripping points. These could not only cause swirling wind but also
interfere with the parafoil kite and also damage it. Large, open fields or
sandy beaches are ideal.
Crashes
Crashes are unavoidable and are part of flying kites. Many of them
appear much worse than they truly are.
However: the stronger the wind the more violent the crashes! Try to avoid
these if possible. We assume no liability for damage caused by crashes.
Before Launching
Securing the flying line to the handle
(see assembly overview, page 5)
Remove the handle (7) from the storage pouch. Completely unwind both
flying lines (4) from the handle. Now secure one flying line to the right
strap on the handle (5) and the other flying line to the left strap of the
handle. Secure using the larks head knot (description larks head knot).
Securing the flying line to the parafoil kite
(see assembly overview, page 5)
The parafoil kite must be completely unfolded. First remove the binding
point of the flying line (3) from the transport safety loop (9) on the trailing
edge (1). Now attach one flying line to each binding point. Secure using
the larks head knot (description larks head knot).
Attention!
Before storing the parafoil kite after use, reattach the binding point of the
flying line to the transport strap to avoid twisting.
Larks head knot
1. Place your thumb and index
finger inside the knot of the flying
line.
