Manual
We recommend that you familiarise yourself
with your new paraglider by reading this
Manual before your first flight. This will allow
you to acquaint yourself its new functions, to
learn the best way to fly the paraglider in
various situations, and explain how to get
the best out of your paraglider.

paraglider, technical data and illustrations
are subject to change. We reserve the right
to make changes without prior notification.
The Manual complies with the airworthiness
requirements in LTF NFL II 91/09
