Lines risers

•Distance between the lines risers :
With the Kit Soaring :
A= 15 to 20 cm or 4.7 to 7.9 in
Pilot Weight advisable : 3.5 to 7 Kg
With paramotor :
A= 20 to 25 cm or 7.9 to 9.9 in
Paramotor weight advisable : 5 to 10 Kg
Before the first take off, you can make a few inflate to check if the lenght of your break lines are correct.
The Brake lines should be slightly taut, without told the tealing edge, and the servos in hot position.
The take off must be upwind and with good weather (no rain).
WINDCHART
Kit Soaring
Normaly you can fly with 15 to 25 km/h wind, it depends on the flying site, the weight on the
pilot.

2. Getting your Soaring kit ready to fly
First step: Set you radio transmitter
Get the pilot linked with the radio transmitter
You first need to identify the two cable connectors located inside the harness compartment. Then, please refer to your radio
transmitter user manual to find the appropriate information to connect them (and the battery) to the radio receiver.
To operate efficiently your wing, you need your radio transmitter to have a Delta mixer. In case you don’t own a programmable radio
transmitter, you need to get an extra Delta mixing module to get the job done.
Using the Delta mix allows you to operate your wing the exact same way as the full-size one which means:
-Moving the stick to the left moves the left arm down and the right one up, so that the wing turns left.
-Moving the stick to the right moves the left arm up and the right one down, so that the wing turns right.

- Moving the stick down moves the arms down thus braking and slowing down the wing. Doing so allows you to reach the
minimum speed before deflating.
-Moving the stick up moves the arms up thus accelerating the wing and so enabling it to reach its maximum speed.
We recommend the very ends of the arms to travel between 12 and 15 cm (4.7 to 5.9 in) from the lowest position to the highest.

3. Maintenance and repairs
Materials we use to manufacture our radio-controlled paragliders have been carefully chosen to ensure they will last long in time.
However, the following recommendations will help you keeping you model even longer in a great shape. Early signs of wear are often
the consequences of a lack of care when operating, folding and storing your products. They may also be damaged if exposed to
chemical products, excessive dampness or heat.
On the ground :
Please avoid :
•Strong impacts
•Letting your wing unfold on the ground
•Walking on the lines
UV
Do not let you wing exposed to UV radiations unnecessarily. Indeed, UVs are permanently and very quickly damaging fabrics.

4. Folding
Folding properly your wing is really important to help it resist in time.
We advise you to fold your wing the way shown below:
-Take the lines risers and place them in the center of the wing.
-Take the Rigimax on each other without bending them.
-You can make the same for the trailing edge.
-Fold the two half wing in one.
-Fold the leading edge to the center and the trailing edge to the center.
-Put the wing in the innerbag.
Rigimax

Storage
Dampness really is the worst enemy of your paraglider, thus accelerating your product ageing by altering the fabric, the lines and
the reinforcements. Your wing has to stay dry… So, don’t store your paraglider for some time still having sand, salt, mud or any
other material on it that may intrude and go mouldy into the cells. Always allow your paraglider to dry naturally before storing it in a
dry place. Open the bag as often as you can to help your wing breathe and release any dampness it might have accumulated.
Never carry or store your wing close to chemical products such as petrol, oils or any other solvent.
Never let your wing exposed to extreme heat such as your car boot on a sunny day.
Cleaning
Use only clear water without adding any abrasive agent or any detergent. Please only clean or rinse your wing if necessary (contact
with salt water…).
Repairs
Tiny holes on the fabric can be repaired using some self-adhesive fabric. Damaged lines have to be replaced. You will need to inflate
your wing after every single repair to ensure it will react properly once it is up in the air.
Major repairs such as cell walls replacements have to be done by specialists.
Warranty
Your wing is guaranteed against any manufacturing defect.
Should the user damage / cut a line or tear apart pieces of fabric, repairs and replacements pieces are not covered by the
guarantee and the repair cost will be charged to the user.
