Emergency steering
If a brake is not operational for some reason, you can steer the Falcon with the D- risers. Add
steering input by weight-shifting in your harness. Be careful not to pull the riser too much, to
avoid any possibility of a spin.
Flying in the rain
We strongly advise you not to fly in the rain on any paramotor glider including the Falcon. If
you do fly in the rain, be aware that you will have a greater risk of entering a deep stall. It is
wise to apply speedbar after passing through rain until you are confident that the glider is flying
normally, and has preferably dried out so that there is no longer any risk of deep stall.
Flying in extremely humid weather or in rain is outside of the operating limits of the glider. If
you are not able to avoid flying in rain, please observe the following:
• it is advisable to fly with slight acceleration during and after the rain (min. 30% or more)
• use no brake input or as little as possible
• control travel reduces
• avoid tight turns, especially in the final approach. If conditions allow, you should also
fly slightly accelerated in this phase
• avoid large angles of attack and the possible early stall near the ground (release the
speed bar only slowly
Advertising and adhesives
Always make sure before attaching advertising to the glider that the adhesive planned will
not alter the glider’s flight behaviour. If you are in doubt, we recommend that you do not attach
the adhesive.
Overloading
The glider structure is put under high levels of strain in particular on extreme flight
manoeuvres, rapid descent methods (spiral dives) or prohibited aerobatic manoeuvres. They
considerably accelerate the aging process of the structure and should therefore be avoided.
