LUNA WING
This chapter is about the wing of the LUNA trike.
We will focus here on the specialties of the canopy and its suspension system.
The Wing was designed as a part of the Luna system together with the newly
designed trim system, all components were carefully adjusted for maximum
performance and safety.
Therefore the glider man only be flown on the Luna, and the Luna is not allowed
to be used with any other wing as long as Fly Products does not provide any other
information.
THE FIRST FLIGHT
Carry out your first few flights only when the weather is stable, and in a familiar
area.
In the beginning you should steer gently and carefully so that you can get used to
the reactions of the paraglider while you are not in a stressful situation.
Caution!
Do not overestimate yourself! Don't let a paraglider that can easily be manoeuvred
or the behaviour of other pilots make you careless.
Section 7. PERIODICAL CHECKS:
SAFETY ISSUES FOR GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Prior to towing on public roads a safety check has to be carried out.
In particular the main frame has to be checked for cracks, especially in the area of
the coupling tube.
In case of a hard landing the rims could be deformed slightly, causing the wheel
bolts to settle and to become loose.
The tire pressure must be between 1,5 and 2 bar on the rear axle and 1 bar on the front wheel.
DAILY INSPECTION
Flight safety depends mainly on correct checks and maintenance procedures.
1. Engine: Check for any leakage, loose screws, cracks etc.
2. Propeller: Check correct sit, cleaning, tight screws and for damage.
3. Check oil and cooling agent level.
Cooling agent must checked in the expansion bottle.
4. Check the gear box, the cooling system and the fuel system for any
leakage. Especially check the tube connections.
5. Check the electrical connectors, the spark plug socket, the gas cables and
the bowden cable distributor for a tight sit and mechanical integrity.
.CHECK PRIOR TO FLIGHT
Prior to any flight the responsible pilot has to carry out a visual inspection.
The pilot learns the necessary knowledge during his flight training and during a
special briefing for the Luna, done by the dealer or flight school who sells the
