1The kits
You can use your Oxy 1.5in two different ways once purchased.
You can go slope-soaring which means you don’t need any motorization to fly, you actually simply take advantage of onsite ascending winds to fly up
in the air.
You can add an electric motor as well to go paramotoring which means you can fly your wing even when there is not wind at all or on flat lands.
Using a motorization also allows you to carry some weight around, such as a scaled-down pilot, a camera or anything else you might want to stick
onboard.

2Getting 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.

!
"#$%&'()*+!,&!-%./012.'.3$40/5!6789!:;!
2.)0!N!5<'!!"!
- 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 8 and 10 cm (3.15 to 3.94 in) from the lowest position to the highest.
If your pilot have the Speedbar System ( Max Pilot), please refer to his manual in order to make the right settings.
Second step: get the ballast in position
Please take the small bag containing the ballasts .
Those ballasts will be very useful on the flying site. Indeed, you will need to adjust the amount of ballast depending on the desired speed you
want to reach but also depending on the flying style you are on (easy, acrobatic…). The more weight you add the more speed you get and the
more abilities the wing has to go through the air and stay quiet fighting against wind turbulences. The radio transmitter sticks will feel
firmer in your hands and the wing will be more reactive when turning right or left.
If you remove some ballast the wing will be easier to fly and will react in a softer way. So, it will be easier to fly up thermal winds when
climatic conditions are not too strong. Generally, the weaker the wind is, the less weight you should bring up. You would be inspired adding
ballast should the wind strengthen.
A side zip allows you to put the ballast inside the harness. You then need to move it forward right under the pilot’s legs to ensure the overall
system is deadly horizontal when being suspended under the lines.

The illustrating below shows you where you should put the ballast:
Your pilot and its harness are now ready for the wing to be installed.
Third step : Fixing riser on the pilot
Fasten and secure the risers to the pilot as show on the picture above (Red risers to Red strap on the harness)
If you pilot have the speedbar system, Is not to use it with the OXY 1.5.
Once the risers are fastened to the pilot, it is very important that you unleash the brake lines (rear
lines) which are tied to the last ring (the knot is done at the factory plant to prevent any damage due to
transportation, including to avoid the lines to get tangled up). Then, ensure it goes through this ring and can
move freely
Recommended weight for Soaring : 600 gr to 3 kg
3. Getting your Paramotor Kit ready to fly
Trike mounting: please refer to the trike assembling instruction you received when you purchased your
trike.
Radio transmitter settings: exactly the same as described in the “Getting you Soaring kit ready to fly”
section.
Attaching your wing to the trike:
Fastening the risers works exactly in the same way as it has to be done for the soaring kit. The red mark has
to be front-facing. Then please untie the knot which ties the brake line and the ring together and finally make
sure the line goes through the ring freely.
Recommended weight for the paramotor : 1,1 kg to 2,7 kg

4Adjusting your Paramotoring Kit ready to fly
Adjusting the brakes is a key step if you want your radio-controlled paraglider to react the right way. Please really do pay a close attention
to this section otherwise you may be heading to troubles.
To set the brakes length, please follow the 3 steps bellow:
•First step:
Roughly adjust your brake lines to have the same length on both sides (left and right) using the black mark on the lines. Secure the lines to
the servomotor’s arms using a bow knot (shoelace knot).
Pull the pilot’s arms up till they reach their higher position.
Inflate the wing (unfold the wing on a flat surface, grab the pilot and pull it firmly towards yourself to send the wing up in the air).
If the wing doesn’t inflate, increase the brakes length till it does inflate.
If the wing inflates properly, please move on to the following step.
•Second step:
Pull the pilot’s arms down till they reach their lower position. Try to inflate the wing.
It the wing inflates, decrease the brakes length till you can’t inflate it anymore.
It’s fine if the wing doesn’t inflate.
•Third step:
During your first flight, watch any tendency your wing may have to turn left or right when you are braking. Then you will have to adjust the
left or right brake length to get a perfectly straight trajectory when you are braking.

5. 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.
6. Folding your wing
Folding properly your wing is really important to help it resist in time.
We advise you to fold your wing the way shown below:
Pull both ends towards the wing center. Put the risers together at the centre to prevent them and the lines to get tangled up.

!
"#$%&'()*+!,&!-%./012.'.3$40/5!6789!:;!
2.)0!!S!5<'!!"!
Finally put the risers back onto the wing and fold it 3 times in the other direction. The folding obtained should be about a hand wide so that it
fits in its bag.
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.
