The paraglider must be operated only within the operating limits. These are exceeded, if one or more
of the following points are complied:
●the take-off weight is not within the permissible weight range
●the glider is flown in rain or drizzle, cloud, fog and / or snow
●the canopy is wet
●there are turbulent weather conditions or wind speeds on launch higher than 2/3 ot the
maximum flyable airspeed of the glider (varies according to the total take-off weight)
●air temperature above 50°C and extremely low temperatures, which can lead, in combination
with moisture, to icing
●aerobatics
●modifications to the canopy, lines or risers which have not been approved
Before the first flight
For motorized flight, the engine, harness, rescue equipment and supporting structure have to be
checked individually for their compatibility. The compatibility of the engine with the other components
must be checked and confirmed if necessary. If you have any further questions, please contact the
supplier of your engine.
Check that all connecting components used (maillons, carabiners, quick-outs,
etc.) are suitable, and certified to carry the maximum load. Continue to follow the instructions of the
trike manufacturer regarding the connection of trike and glider.
The Condor 2 is delivered as standard without accessories for foot-launch tandem flights. These
accessories (roll bar, spreading bar, extension rods, etc.) are different for each motor unit.
It is the pilot's responsibility to ensure that the required accessories are approved by the manufacturer
and that they have the necessary strength for the maximum takeoff weight. We recommend to test the
complete system in a simulator before your first flight.
If you fly the Condor 2 with a back motor and harness(es), pay attention to the following:
It’s important for your comfort and safety to fly with a suitable harness that is properly adjusted.
When choosing a harness, remember that the height of the attachment points (i.e. distance from the
carabiners to the seat plate) affects the sensitivity of the glider and the relative brake travel. The lower
(shorter) the attachment points, the more sensitive the glider is to weight-shift.
The adjustment of the harness chest strap controls the distance between carabiners and affects the
handling and stability of the glider. Excessive tightening of the chest strap increases stability but also
the risk of riser twists following glider collapses. It also increases the likelihood of getting collapses
due to poor feedback from the glider. The risk of twisting is also strongly influenced by the seating
position of the pilot. Flying in a laid back (reclined) position makes it much more difficult to react in
time to prevent riser twisting. With the chest strap in a more closed position the glider also has more
tendency to maintain a stable spiral. With the chest strap in a more open position, feedback from the
glider is increased but stability is decreased.
GIN gliders are developed with GIN harnesses, which have an attachment point of approximately
40-48 cm (depending on size and model). EN/LTF certification test flights are carried out with the
