6-POINT CHECK 

 
Just before the start we recommend the 6-point check: 
 
1) 

Is the canopy arranged in a half round, and all entry ports are open? 

 
2) 

Are all the lines untangled there are no lines under the canopy? 

 
3) 

Are the clothes and the helmet closed ,  the seat belt is applied 
 ist die Lehne des vorderen Sitzes gesichert?  

 

4) 

Trimm´s closed, Brake handle ready to hand? 

 
5) 

Wind strength and direction in order for safe flight? 

 
6) 

Are the airspace and launch area clear? 

 

 

First Flight 

 

Note! 

 
Perform your first flights  only in calm weather and on a well-known place. 
 
Make the first flight without hard maneuvers 
 
 

Accident risk! 

 

 
Do not overestimate yourself. Do not be mislead of other pilots to reckless behavior.
