Reserve
It is a mandatory requirement to carry an approved reserve for use in emergency situations
where the paramotor glider fails and recovery is not possible, for example after colliding with
another aerial sports craft. In choosing a reserve, you should be careful that you remain within
the specified take-off weight. The reserve is fitted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Weight Range
Be sure to fly your glider within the certified weight range given in the Technical Specification
section. If you are choosing between 2 sizes, choose your optimum wing loading according to your
personal preferences and the conditions you fly in. If you prefer dynamic flight behaviour with
fast reactions, you should fly at a high wing-loading, i.e. choose the smaller model.
The dynamics are reduced in the middle and lower part of the weight range. Flight behaviour
becomes more straightforward and many pilots fly with this wing loading. If these features
appeal to you, you should fly with a lower wing-loading and choose the larger model.
The Falcon reacts to weight changes only by slightly increasing or reducing trim speed, with
little noticeable effect on glide performance. You can therefore choose the size completely
according to your own flying style.
First flight
Carry out your first flights only during stable weather, in a familiar area or on a training slope.
You should steer gently and carefully to begin with so that you can become accustomed to the
reactions of the glider without stress.
