PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION
Unfold the glider and place it on its upper surface in an arc.
Separate the A,B,C risers and the brakes, be certain for the risers and lines not to have any twists or knots or be hooked to a branch,
stone etc...
The EIKO was designed for mountaineering Hike&Fly pilots or those making lighter weight gear a priority. To discover your new glider,
we recommend you to first try it in calm weather conditions on a school slope or at a site you frequently fly, using your regular har-
ness.
