FULLSTALL
A full stall is initiated by controlling below the “minimum speed position”.
It is very important to initiate the full stall in a rather slow manner to avoid
having the wing fall too far behind the pilot.
DUE TO THE REFLEX CONSTRUCTION OF THE FLARE LINE, IT IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO STOP A SURGE FORWARD WITH A QUICK
AND DEEP PULL ON THE CONTROL HANDLES, RATHER THAN A
GENTLE PULL. BY TRYING TO STOP WITH A GENTLE PULL, YOU
MOST LIKELY EVEN ACCELERATE THE SURGE AND A FRONTAL
COLLAPSE IS INEVITABLE.
8 MATERIALS
The FLARE LINE is manufactured from the highest quality materials. FLARE
has selected the best possible combination of materials with regard to
resilience, performance and longevity. We are aware that the durability
of the glider is a deciding factor in the pilot’s satisfaction.

THE FLARE SYSTEM
The FLARE System is manufactured from 3,7mm Dyneema Taurus line by
EDELRID. The Pulleys are Ronstan orbit 20mm, combining great breaking
strength and a light weight.

WINGLOADINGS ON THE LINE AND EXPERIENCE NEEDED:
Additionally please make sure to watch the ‘Sizes’ video in our ‘Academy’
section, which is dedicated to support your decision on what size to choose.
Our Recommended Take-O-Weight Chart shows you how dynamically the
wing reacts and which skill level it requires based on your take-off weight
(at 0 wind speed)
SKILL LEVEL:
WINGLOAD 4 - 5:
Experience in flying miniwings is highly recomended
WINGLOAD 5 - 7:
Experience in speedflying is highly recomended
WINGLOAD 7 - 8:
Experience in extreme speedflying is highly recomended (capability of flying wings ≤ 9m
2
)
WINGLOAD > 8:
Experience in extreme speedflying is highly recomended (capability of flying wings ≤ 7m
2
)
We do not recommend, to footlaunch the LINE with a wingload of 10 or higher.
How to calculate the wingloading yourself:
Divide your take-off weight by the designed area of your parakite.
Calculate the wingloading of your current parakite to compare to the skill chart.
Choose the LINE size that best suits your skills.
The LINE has a large speed range. Our parakites can be compared to paraglid-
ers/wings that are two square meters smaller. For example, a 13 m
2
LINE has a
top speed similar to a 9 m
2
speedflyer.
