Upon delivery, the ITV wings conform to their certification require-
ments. Any modification or manipulation, such as altering the lines
length or adding risers and/or connecting links, will void the certi-
fication validation.
DEFAULT ADJUSTMENTS
Your paraglider is certified for a specific weight range. If you fly out-
side the stipulated numbers, you are then flying outside of the opera-
ting limits of your paraglider. Consequently, the paraglider no longer
conforms to the flight characteristics determined at the time of its
certification and hence no longer certified. Choosing your location
within the weight range is a matter of personal choice.
You can fly at the top, middle or bottom of the stipulated weigh
range. We recommend the mid-range. Being at the low end of the
scale has advantages such as high damping, less dynamic feel, and
a better climb rate. The disadvantages are a lower speed, less agile,
and reduced internal wing pressurization.
On the other end, a heavily loaded wing will fly faster, have a more
taut canopy, which will increase the dynamic character of the wing.
