●

 Check your engine, paraglider, harness, rescue handle and pin, helmet and other equipment. 

●

 Carry out the pre

fl

ight control check of the engine. 

●

 Choose a wide starting place, as uniform as possible and free from obstacles. 

●

 Put on your harness and be sure to close the leg straps! Then put on your helmet. 

●

 Place the paraglider in a curved shape and sort the lines. 

●

 Connect the riser to the trike carabiners. Make sure that the carabiners are closed and that 
 nothing is twisted. 

●

 Check one last time that there are no knots in the lines, nothing is twisted and that the lines 
 are not caught in vegetation or rocks. You must be particularly attentive in lighter winds. 

 The start check is carried out immediately before launch to check the most important safety points 
 once again. It should always be carried out in the same sequence so that nothing is overlooked. The 
 points are: 

 1.  

Is your personal equipment in order (engine, harness, carabiners, reserve, helmet) and are all 
 straps done up? 

 2.  

Is the canopy arranged in a half-moon shape and are all the air intakes open? 

 3.  

Are all the lines untangled and are any lines under the canopy? 

 4.  

Are the trimmer positions correct and symmerical? 

 5.  

Does the weather, in particular wind direction and strength, allow a safe 

fl

ight? 

 6.  

Is the propeller free? 

 7.  

Does the engine deliver full power? 

 8.  

Are the airspace and launch area clear? 

 Launching 

 The Condor 2 has smooth and progressive in

fl

ation characteristics with no tendency to hang back or 

 shoot forwards. 

 The Condor 2 offers two possibilities for the Trike start: the 'classic' start with the A-risers (see 
 'Launching with back engine') or by the use of the 'A-assist system'. This system offers the possibility 
 to connect the A-riser with the trike via a D-ring and thereby initiate and facilitate the starting process 
 (see also chapter 'Risers and speed system'). The 'A-assist system' must be installed individually for 
 the trike by the pilot (no additional components such as carabiner, connecting line, etc. are included in 
 the scope of delivery of the Condor). When assembling the 'A-assist system', be aware that the 
 connecting line should have no load during 

fl

ight and must be always loose in every 

fl

ying position. 

 Under no circumstances should the line be able to pull down the riser in the 

fl

ight. We recommend 

 that the entire installation process is carried out by a quali

fi

ed 

fl

ight instructor or o

ffi

cial dealer to 

 make sure that the 'A-assist system' is set up correctly.
