To know yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inflations and ground
handling with and without the motor.
You should have no difficulties flying the JAZZ for the first time in suitable conditions, but
as with all new equipment.
When you have the new glider, the below points should be inspected.
- Check the lines are clear and not twisted.
- Connection points between the glider and harness.
- All harness buckles are closed.
- The karabiners are fully closed and not damaged.
- The sewing, condition of the lines and connection of the lines are right
- Internal demage to ribs and diagonal ribs.
- Demage to th etop and bottom panels and seams between panels.
Whilst inflating the JAZZ, you should hold both of th A risers on your hands. Pilot run in an
upright position and just increases throttle of the engine.
In strong winds it is desirable that an assistant helds the front of the trike from tipping over.
When JAZZ is at an angle of 70 - 80 degrees, pilot should gradually slow it down by brakes.
Once the wing will come to the “normal” angle of attack, while continuing to run, slightly
pull the brakes (20 - 30 cm) to reduce the runway. Don’t stop running until your geet have
left up to the ground and you feel surely safe climb out.
We recommend to take off with closed trimmers.
