I. Your CYBER TE
Characteristics of CYBER TE
We designed the CYBER TE to meet the highest expectations of pilots and
experienced teachers who want an optimum for their pupils´ first steps without
leaving the safety of the EN / LTF A class.
In combination with an optimized leading edge, three fold risers, sticks for an
optimized geometry of the canopy we created a paraglider with high safety factor.
The use of extensive internal v-ribs makes the canopy more stable, especially in
turbulence, and maintains a cleaner, more tensioned, wing profile. This also
causes the loads to be distributed more uniformly throughout the glider, allowing
for an reduce the number of line attachment points, the canopy is only connected
to lines at every second cell.
CYBER TE certification is valid using any harness which has been categorized by
“GH”. To find out which class of harness your harness belongs to, check the
certification sticker or ask the manufacturer.
CYBER TE has an accelleration system which will be activated with a footbar, no
trimmer and not any other removable devices for change of trim and speed.
ICARO paragliders has developed the TrimSpeedOptimizer (TSO) that allows a
specific extension of the rear riser. The TSO is protected by a neoprene cover on
the rear riser, can only be set on the ground and is unchangeable in the air(more
about this TSO in the annex).

Canopy
The canopy of the CYBER TE is made of synthetic fabric with different strengths
where a reinforced thread-net is woven in, which stops the fabric from further
tearing and is increasing the firmness at the seams and has sticks for an optimized
geometry of the canopy. The coating makes the fabric water-repellent, UV-stabile
and air-impermeable. Between the single groups of main lines are taut ribbons

Page 7
sewn in, which are regulating the tension of the sail. On the entry- and trailing-
edge of the canopy a special ribbon with low elongation is sewn in, which offers a
cunning, by our design-software calculated, tension-distribution along the canopy.
Lines
To ensure durability, we use Aramid and Dynema lines with a PE covering for
protection.
Attention: The length of the break lines is set correctly at the factory and
should not be changed. The improper adjustment of the steering
lines can cause severe changes to in flight behaviour.
All mainlines have the same lenghts so you can check the trimm of your glider.
The end control of all line lengths is documented for all paragliders produced by
ICARO paragliders.
The complete geometry of the lines and the lenghts is shown on the single line
plan, which you find in the annex of the manual.

Risers
The Glider has 3 fold risers with
separated A-risers (A, A`), an
accelleration system which will be
activated with a footbar and a
TrimmSpeedOptimizer, mounted on
the rear riser (how the TSO works is
described in the annex). The risers
are signified.
The main break line comes through a
return pulley, the handle of the main
breakline is mounted on the C- riser.
The accelleration system is mounted on the A- riser. To fix it with
the footbar you must connect the brummelhooks of the footbar with the
brummelhook of the accelleration system.
When flying normal all risers have the same length. When using the accelerator
system the risers are shortened by a constructive exactly defined length.
Therefore the angle of attack of the canopy is smaller and speed increases.
How to mount the acceleration system at the harness
Put the ropes which are attached
at the foot bar through the rings
at the front right and left of the
harness from the outside and
then through the eyelets on the
side.
Afterwards put the ropes which
are now running inside the
harness through the pulley
which can be found at the left and
right of the sitting board.
The ropes which have been put
through the eyelets and the
pulley need to be bypassed on
the outside along the harness
bands and fastened with the
brummel hook .
The length of the accelerator is adjusted to the left and right of the foot pedal so
that when your leg is fully extended, then the acceleration is at maximum – both
rollers are touching.
Attention: The description is only valid for ICARO harnesses.
Please pay attention that the glider will not be pre-accelerated,
while the accelerator is loosened, when the acceleration ropes
are set too short.

II. FLIGHT TIPS
Ground Training
Before the first flight the CYBER TE must be inflated in the wind on a flat surface.
An approved ICARO dealer should carry out the first flight before the wing is
handed over to you.
In order to get to know your CYBER TE, we recommend that you practise with
your glider on the ground. Pulling up in flat gradients is great practise for fine
tuning your launch techniques. Here you can get to learn the reactions of your
glider without any stress and hectic. Ground practice pays off in the air.
Pre Flight Check & Flight Preparation
•Whilst unfolding your paraglider check the canopy

Page 10
Generally the CYBER TE is also allowed for towing. You have to note the
regulations of the country where towing is in practice.
Active flying
The CYBER TE has an extremely high stability. We advise you to apply the brakes
at all times whilst flying in turbulences. You hereby increase the opening angle and
the wing is more stable. At the same time the pilot has a better feeling for the
canopy via the brakes. When flying into strong thermals please pay attention that
the canopy does not remain behind the pilot. This is avoided by releasing the
brakes when entering an up-wind to increase speed. Vice versa the glider must be
slowed down with the brakes if the canopy falls before the pilot when entering a
down-wind or exiting a thermal. We recommend increasing speed when crossing a
downwind or during headwind.
This type of flight technique is called “active flying”. The pilot may roll his body with
weight shift to move with the glider when the glider rolls to the right or left. These
subtle adjustments keep the glider flying smoothly.
Acceleration
For the majority of your flight you will not use the accelerator. For better
penetration in headwinds you can fly faster by using the accelerator system. When
you want to descend quickly and the ears have been folded in, push down on the
foot accelerator. The flight stability of the CYBER TE remains intact at increased
speed because of the adapted geometry of the acceleration system.
Attention: The more turbulent the weather conditions and when near the
ground, the less acceleration should be used. Using the
accelerator decreases the angle of attack and can make the glider
more prone to collapse.
Do not use the acceleration system and brakes at the same time!
It is very dangerous to use both simultaneously as it can result in
serious collapses.
Turning
A combined steering technique is suitable for every situation. The CYBER TE is
agile and reacts to steering impulses quickly and directly. Strong, one sided pulling
of the brakes brings the CYBER TE into an obvious side angle and the glider flies
fast steep curves until spiral dive begins.
Attention: If the brake lines are pulled too fast or too far the glider will be
stalled! A one-sided stall is signalized clearly by: The curves´s
inner side of the wing is getting soft, and nearly stops. In this
case you have to release the brakeline!
Landing
The CYBER TE is very easy to land. Always stand up in the harness in the landing
position very early in order to be able to react as fast as possible to sudden
events. Give yourself plenty of options and a safe margin of error. Set up your final
landing leg to face into the wind to minimize groundspeed. If you leave the inflated
leading edge bang on the ground, this can cause the cell walls to burst! Do not
brake it too much, to avoid a stall of the glider in this very low altitude! Do not
reduce height by “pumping” with the brakes.

Page 11
III. Descent Techniques
Attention: Training of descent techniques and simulation of flight
incidents (SFI) and should only take place at professional safety
training seminars with professional trainer and only while flying
over water.
Big & Small Ears
Only take the outer lines of the A-risers in your hand, without releasing the brakes
and pull down leaving it run through your hands (use gloves!). Sink rate increases
but not the forward speed.
If you use the acceleration system then higher sink speeds can be achieved.
Reopen the wing by pushing up with your hands and if necessary then pump the
brakes with short symmetric movements. For directional control while using the big
ears, you should use weight shift.
Attention: The pitch angle of your paraglider is increased using small and
big ears, the brake path is shortened and the risk of inducing a
deep stall is high. Using acceleration system during this
manoeuvre helps reduce these negative risks. Never attempt tight
turns or spirals with Big Ears, as the A-lines will be over stressed.
B-Line-Stall
It is common knowledge that to enter and hold a B-line-stall requires considerable
strength. Entering a B-line-stall in strong upward air movements may not be
possible for weaker pilots, even with gliders equipped with easy enter B-line-stall
aids.
Attention: It is very dangerous to exit a B-line-stall incorrectly and following
errors must be avoided:
•Exit is too slow,
•releasing the B-line-stall aid without simultaneously pushing
up with your hands,
•using brakes during or directly after exiting,
•pulling too far on the B-line-stall aid, so that the A-lines are
pulled too,
•Brakes must not be shortened by twisting around your hand
during the manoeuvre.
Spiral Dive
To initiate a spiral dive, look in the direction you want to go, roll your body weight
in that direction and at the same time smoothly pull down on the inside brake. The
CYBER TE will start to turn, speed up and then drop into a spiral. To keep the
wing under control you must pull and release the inside brake. Exit slowly. Bring
your body weight back to a neutral position and as soon as the wing levels out,
apply the brakes gently. This procedure should be done slowly and will take a
couple of turns to complete.
The CYBER TE does not have a tendency for stable spiral dive. If under certain
conditions, it should go into a stable spiral dive then actively exit the manoeuvre by
bringing your weight into a neutral position, release the brakes of the inner curve
side and brake gently on the outer curve side until you notice that the wing starts

Page 12
to level out. Then gently brake on the inside curve for several turns until normal
flights returns.
Attention: If you pull abruptly and too far on the brakes, the canopy may
enter a negative spin. When entering a spiral dive keep the brake
on the outer curve released.
Wingovers
Wingovers are induced by flying alternating turns; each time letting the pendulum
effect increase the bank angle.
Attention: The CYBER TE is an agile glider, and it is quite easy to get to an
excessively high angle of bank in just a few turns.
Practice wingovers gently at first, as there is a chance of quite
large collapses at high bank angles. Also notice that a wingover
flown with more than 90 degrees bank angle is classified as
illegal aerobatics in some countries!
IV. Flight Incidents
Knots and tangles
The best way to avoid knots and tangles is to inspect the lines before you inflate
the wing for take-off. If you notice a knot before take off, immediately stop running
and do not take-off.
If you have taken-off with a knot you will have to correct the drift by leaning on the
opposite side of the knot and gently apply the brake line on that side too. You can
gently try to pull on the brake line to see if the knot becomes unfastened or try to
identify the line with the knot in it. Try to pull the identified line to see if the knot
releases. If the knot is too tight and you cannot remove it, carefully and safely fly to
the nearest landing place.
Attention: Be very careful when trying to remove a knot. When there are
knots in the lines or when they are tangled, do not pull too hard
on the brake lines, there is an increased risk of the wing to
stalling or negative turn being initiated.
Deep / Parachute Stall
Your CYBER TE has been carefully designed to resist entering deep stall. If you
pull strongly on the rear risers the CYBER TE normally ends a deep stall
independently when you release the rear risers. Before exiting a deep stall please
ensure that the brakes are fully released. Actively exit the deep stall by reaching
up and push forward with both palms on both A-risers or pull on the risers.
Attention: Never pull the brake-lines during a parachutal stall, because the
glider would go into a full stall immediately. Does the glider stay
in a repetitively parachutal stall without any noticeable reason the
glider has to be checked before the next flight by your dealer or
by the manufacturer.
Avoid flying in very humid air or in rain. A wet canopy may have very unpredictable
flying characteristics, one of which is a radically increased risk of deep stall. There
are two reasons:

Page 13
•The canopy cloth may absorb water, making it much heavier and moving the
centre of gravity around in unpredictable ways, increasing the risk of a
stall/deep stall.
The more water a wing can absorb the higher the risk, which means that older
wings with damaged coating are more prone to these deep stalls than new
wings.
It should also be noted that a wing already flying close to the edge due to line
shrinkage or other factors will deep stall sooner due to water absorption.
•If enough large rain drops form that the entire top surface is covered, but they
don’t join together to either flow off or become a homogenous mass, the
surface will become so rugged that the airflow separates and the wing stalls.
It is more likely to happen with new wings where the cloth is still highly
hydrophobic and the drops thus do not penetrate but remain on the surface.
In both cases the brakeline travel becomes very short and even small input may
suddenly induce an airflow separation.
Attention: If you find yourself flying in unavoidable rain we strongly
recommend that you avoid any sudden movements or radical
brakeline input, that you do not pull Big Ears or B-Line-Stall,
and that you steer clear of turbulence and avoid a deep flare on
landing.
Asymmetric Collapse
While flying in turbulent conditions it may occur that a portion of your glider
deflates. However, just like in flying in turbulences, please pull gently on both
brakes. Re-inflation is speeded up by counteracting the turning movement of the
canopy until normal forward flight return. Then pump the brake line on the
collapsed side.
Attention: If the collapsed part of the canopy is very big, you have to break
the open side very dosed (not too much!) to avoid a stall.
Symmetric Collapse
Your CYBER TE normally re-inflates promptly in a symmetric collapse without pilot
input. Applying the brakes symmetrically will speed things up.
Emergency Steering
Should it no longer be possible to steer your CYBER TE, for example due to a
broken line, the glider may be steered by gently pulling on either rear riser. We
recommend for emergency control in the air to use the stabilo line. With a bit of
weight shift and by pulling down the Stabilo (20 cm) allows to control your Cyber
TE precisely and easily.
Attention: By steering this way airspeed is reduced hardly. Therefore, for
landing you must change to the rear risers to control your glider.
Handling will be more direct so be careful not to pull too hard.

Page 14
Negative Spin
If the pilot abruptly applies full brake to one side of the glider while the other side is
at zero brake, the faster side may fly around the braked and stalled side resulting
in a spin. Alternatively, if flying very slowly with almost full brakes on both sides, if
one hand releases one brake suddenly, while the other continues with full brake,
the glider may enter a negative spin. To exit a spin with your CYBER TE just do
“hands up” to release the brakes and the glider will return to normal flight.
Attention: If you do not have control over your glider and you are running
out of altitude, immediately deploy your reserve parachute.
Full Stall
To initiate a full stable stall, apply both brakes to maximum arm extension. If
possible grasp the seat of your harness to assist keeping your arms locked.
Attention: It is imperative that the pilot fully completes this manoeuvre and
holds on, as a premature release while the glider is still falling
back may cause the glider to rapidly dive ahead past the pilot.
There is a possibility of the pilot landing in or entangling in the
glider.
The pilot will swing back under the canopy and finally the canopy will stabilize to a
full stall. Once in a stable stall, the manoeuvre can be completed. Release the
brakes just a little and let the glider fill until it regains shape. Then release the
brakes fully and your CYBER TE will return to normal flight.
Attention: Spin and full stall are both dangerous and somewhat
unpredictable manoeuvres. Do not stall or spin your paraglider
on purpose.
V. Service, Repairs and Maintenance
Care Instructions
•Even with good care and maintenance, just like any item exposed to the
elements, your glider can wear out after a certain amount of use. This can
change flight behaviour and safety. We recommend a regular safety inspection
of the canopy and all lines.
•If you clean your glider it is best to use warm water and a soft sponge.
•Store your glider in a dry and dark place, ideally between 5°and 30°Celsius
and an humidity between 55 and 65%. Do not store it near chemicals or petrol.
•If you will not fly for longer period, store the glider releasing all compression
straps and take it out of its backpack so that the fabric is not compressed,
creased or stretched.
Attention: When you didn´t fly for a longer period ICARO commends to
check the glider (e.g. mildow stains, splice of the lines, corrosion
of the shackles and carbines).
If you are not convinced of the gliders airworthness please send
your glider to an authoriced ICARO dealer to check your glider.
The same is commended for harnesses.

Page 15
•Avoid storing your glider for days at a time in a hot car.
•Never use chemical cleaning agents, brushes or hard sponges on the material,
as these destroy the coating and affect the strength of the cloth. The canopy
will become porous and will loose structural strength.
•Never attempt to clean your paraglider in a washing machine. Even without
using detergents the simple mechanical abrasion will quickly finish the canopy
and render it useless.
•If you are flying near the sea most the wing may age faster because the air is
humid and salty. In this case we suggest you have it checked more often than
prescribed in this manual.
•Also avoid dipping it in a swimming pool; the chlorine will damage the cloth.
•If you must rinse or clean your glider do so with fresh water. Frequent cleaning
will accelerate the ageing process.
•If the glider has become wet, lay it out so that air can get to all areas of the
fabric.
Attention: Do not fold and store your glider prematurely if it not
completely dry. The performance of a wet glider can change
significantly.
•Always make sure that your intended logo will not in any way influence the
glider behaviour. If in doubt we suggest avoiding the attachment of advertising
logos on the wing. ICARO paragliders cannot be held responsible for any
mishaps caused by intentional aftersales changes done to the wing.
Attention: Attaching heavy adhesive logos made out of unsuited
material to the wing may result in the revocation of the
glider´s guarantee.
•The CYBER TE is a very strong paraglider. Flying all the descent or acrobatic
manoeuvres will not normally pose a structural problem but aerobatic training
does accelerate the ageing process dramatically.
Attention: ICARO recommends having wings that are often used for
training of descent manoeuvres or acrobatics subjected to
checkups at shorter intervals than normally stipulated.
How to pack your glider
•The glider should be laid out neatly, the lines sorted, the risers stowed away
either at the trailing edge or at the leading edge. The pilot stands at the leading
edge by the outspread glider and a helper at the trailing edge.
•Both start on the inner side and putting one lane onto the next pulling the end
oft he glider more and more to the middle. Like this the reinforcements can be
put on top of each other without being flexed.
•The same is done on the opposite side. Like this only two lane wide packages
are left.
•These are being folded on top of each other and beginning at the trailing edge
during simultaneous pressing to get rid of any air. The first fold over of the
package should be between 30cm and 50cm. This way the material of the
lower- and upper sail will not be stressed at the same area.
•ICARO Paragliders recommend not rolling in the glider material since different
strains apply to the material. Through folding this can be avoided.

Page 16
•The last fold is carried out at the side of the leading edge. This is wrapped in
direction of the trailing edge and packed between the part which has been
folded before. Please pay attention that the reinforcements aren’t flexed.
•The compression band is being attached to the glider package crossways to
the folding direction and fastened only to hold the glider gently.
•Afterwards put the package into the glider bag….ready!
In order to pack your glider in the same way as above without a helper there are
two possibilities:
1. Lay out your glider neatly, sort your lines and stow away your risers either at
the trailing edge or at the leading edge. You begin at the trailing edge and fold
these together. Like this the glider lays fan-shaped in front of you. Now you put
the leading edge on top without flexing it and carry on folding the glider, as
described above.
2. You use an ICARO fast packing bag (available online in our shop).
The fast packing bag has many advantages – not only folding your glider
without any help.
•Even at strong winds the glider can easily be handled since the canopy
does not need to be spread out for folding.
•The glider is lying during the procedure on the material of the packing bag
therefore it is shielded from stones, plants and humidity of the ground.
•Through the fixation in the front part of the packing bag the reinforcements
of the leading edge stay flex-free on top of each other.
Repairs
Attention: Only use original ICARO parts for repairing your glider. If you
don´t you lose the guarantees for your glider.
Small holes in the canopy can be repaired by the pilot by using self adhesive
sailcloth on both sides of the perforation. Damage to the lines or any other repairs
should only be carried out at an authorized ICARO centre. Please contact ICARO
paragliders for information about single line lenghts.
If your CYBER TE needs to be repaired, please contact your local ICARO
Paragliders dealer.
Inspection, Prerequisites and Personal qualification
Inspection interval: 200 flight hours or 24 months, depending on what occurs
sooner.
Without regular certified inspections, your glider will loose its pattern test
result and guarantee.
It is important to have your CYBER TE inspected by a trained ICARO technician.
Below you find the regulations for checks of certified gliders.

Page 17
You will need the following items in order to perform a paraglider inspection:
•Standardized inspection report
•Porosity meter
•Spring scale
•Equipment for measuring line lengths
•Equipment for line strength testing
•Sewing machine
•Big, clean and bright room
Technical specifications about your glider (type, serial number, size and year of
production). Pleas call Fly & more Handels GmbH ICARO Paragliders for
information.
A three week course at Fly & More GmbH, specified to a glider type together with
a legal flight license are the necessary prerequisites for permission to inspect
ICARO Paragliders.
For questions about the costs and times of paragliding inspection courses please
