A. Speedfl ying, a new f l yi ng concept .
A new f l yi ng St yl e is her e: Speedf l yi ng; f l y i ng f ast downhi l l .
Over t he l ast f ew year s, Gi n Gli der s have been devel opi ng speedgl ider s f or speedr i di ng (l aunch

Now, Gi n Gl i der s i nt r oduces an ult r ali ght speedgl i der desi gned f or f oot l aunch, t he YAK.
B. Speedgli der s, a new desi gn concept .
Speedr idi ng and speedfly i ng ar e bot h based on a new desi gn concept devel oped by Gin Gli der s.
Speedgl ider s ar e not smal l par agl ider s, l i ke f or example t he « Yet i 19 » whi ch i s a mini-
par agli der and par t of our paragl i der range.
Speedgli der s ar e dedicat ed t o f l y wi t h low gl i de r at io, st abi li t y and speed.
The Speedgl i der s’ concept i s based on :
- Pi t ch St abilit y
- Angle of at t ack cont r ol
- Var iable gl i de r at i o
- Speed cont r ol
Speedfl yi ng f i el ds of use…
"Tradi t ional" Speedflyi ng
Unl i ke par agli der s, t he YAK wi l l give y ou a ri de down a mount ain, f ol lowing t he sl opes and

but wi t h a huge gr i n on your f ace.
Soar i ng i n st r onger wi nds
How many pi l ot s conf ront ed wit h " st rong" wi nds of 30- 45 km/ h, have dr eamed of t he
YAK? Her e i t i s!
On t he coast , in t he mount ains, or on y our f avouri t e hi ll, when i t i s i mpossi bl e t o t ake

Mount ai neer ing
How many mount ai neer s cl i mbing down f r om a summi t have dr eamed of t he YAK? Here i t

The YAK wi l l al low you t o t ake of f and fl y in st ronger winds t han would be possible wit h

Act ive Fl yi ng
The YAK has a high i nt ernal pr essure, hi gh r esi st ance t o col lapses and a hi gh level of passi ve
secur i t y . However , i t i s r ecommended wit h t hi s t ype of glider t o adopt an act ive handl ing st yl e
t hat will hel p y ou t o f l y saf ely. The key t o act ive handl ing i s t o keep your gl ider above your
head. If t he gli der has a t endency t o l ag behind, r aise your hands. If t he gli der has a t endency t o
shoot f orward, t hen cont rol it wi t h t he brakes. In al l cases, al way s r emember t o keep suf f i ci ent

In t urbulent condit i ons
The YAK i s a ver y st abl e gl ider and col l apses on one or bot h of t he f ront ri ser s are ext r emely
rare. Ext reme t urbulence could generat e a coll apse but t he YAK wi l l r esume nor mal f l ight i n

However , if t he gli der shoot s f or war d vi ol ent l y, cont rol it wi t h t he brakes immedi at el y . To help
y our gl i der r esume f l i ght mor e r api dly , i t i s r ecommended t o use an act i ve handling st y l e,
wi t hout bei ng out of t ime wit h t he wing’s movement s.
Caut i on :
The YAK is not desi gned t o perfor m manoeuvres out side t he normal fli ght confi gurat i on. Our
t est pil ot s have t est ed t he var i ous react ions i n ext r eme si t uat ions; however we st rongly
recommend t hat you do not per f or m st all s, manoeuvres and spins. It i s al so st r ongl y
recommended not t o f ly any aerobat i cs wi t h t he YAK.

Landi ng wit h t he YAK
Choose a landing ar ea free of obst acles. It i s recommended t o l and wit h a f ul l f lai r ; i t w il l enabl e
you t o obt ain a zero ver t i cal speed and an easy r un at t he end of t he fl ai r . Do not make y our l ast
t urn at l ow hei ght , or make a r adi cal t urn cl ose t o t he ground. Do not approach t oo sl owl y wi t h
