Select a place where there are no
obstacles and there is uninhibited wind blowing towards you. If
there are obstacles, trees etc the wind will roll over this and
make control very difficult. Remember this at all times when flying.
This turbulence created by air rolling over an obstacle and you
flying into this will result in a collapse. If there is no wind
there will be no rotor. If there is wind make sure you gain height
before flying over the obstacle, which ensures that one is above
the turbulence .
Lay the glider out with the top
skin against the grass and the undersurface (the one that the
lines attach to will be looking up at you. The cell openings must
be farthest away from you and the trailing or back edge will be
closest to you. As the front riser(A) is pulled the leading (FRONT)
edge will inflate and come up over your head. Each set of lines
end on a riser (a piece of webbing).There is a piece of webbing
for the front lines (the ones that go to the front of the glider,
i.e. where the cell opening is) and a webbing that goes slightly
back (B lines and riser) and another one for the C and D lines
and riser. All these risers meet into one where the carabineer
clips in. It is important to ensure that the A riser and lines
are separate and not entangled with the B and the B from the C
and so forth. Simply lift them up and shake them lose from the
one behind etc . A correct lay out involves laying the glider
out in a horse shoe shape. This ensures that the center lines
are tighter than the others, which in turn ensures that as the
A riser(front) is pulled the center will inflate first and thereafter
outwards.
