c. Take-off
The key to successful launching is to practice
ground-handling on flat ground as often as
possible.
The EAZY2 inflates easily and steadily using
forward or reverse launch techniques. There is
no tendency for the canopy to hang back during
inflation – as well not for overshooting. To
forward (alpine) launch in light or nil wind there
is no need to pull the risers hard – as well not to
run/jump fast into the wing. Allow the glider to
stabilise overhead and run positively forward
checking the canopy is fully inflated and clear of
any knots or tangles. Reverse launching is
recommended in stronger winds.
The glider has split A-risers. For launching you
can take either the inner A-risers or both. If the
ears are folding in during launch its advisable to
just use the inner A-line riser – this is also helpful
at tail-wind launches.
