this should always be avoided. Once the B-risers have been released in the correct man-
ner the glider will return to normal flight spontaneously with a small dive as it regains
“healthy” airspeed.
Obviously, one should never do a B-line stall at the same time as engaging any thrust or
power from the engine as this could result in unstable situations which could lead to
dangerous loss of control.
> maintenance
Store the paraglider in a dry space away from chemical agents, UV light and high tem-
perature. If the canopy has been packed wet it is necessary to reopen it and let it dry
before packing away for a sustained period. Keep the canopy and lines clean, as dirt may
penetrate into the fibres and damage them.
Clean the paraglider only with fresh water and a soft sponge. If you are unfortunate to
land in the sea
& survive! Hose/soak the glider with fresh water & dry completely.
Absolutely avoid contact with chemical agents like oil, petrol, solvent and similar, which
can damage the fabric and its surface covering.
We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by Windtech
or an approved Windtech repair centre at least once a year. Besides this you should
check periodically the lines, cloth and stitching.
Every 150 h. or once a year, which ever comes first, change all bottom lines. This is very
important to maintain the flying and safety characteristics of the wing. The rest of the
lines must also be checked and change them if they have deteriorated.
Test some of the lines that are not changed for minimum 40% of the rated strength. If
the line fails you should replace them all before using your glider.
Small tears in the sail can be repaired by using adhesive spinnaker cloth, which we sup-
ply with every new glider.
Big tears and repairs regarding sewing or structural parts of the paraglider must be car-
ried out only by the manufacturer or authorised service centres.
