The
ZEPHYR-2
is a
EN level
B
accelerated but using the accelerator system close to the
ground is not advisable
&
it should be released as soon as turbulent air is encountered.
Note that the glide angle is not affected by the wing loading, but that the security is.
Always fly a glider that is the correct size for you, and remember that if your flying
weight is below the stated minimum, the speed range will diminish and inflation prob-
lems may appear. Also the handling will degrade in turbulent conditions, and it will be
easier to sustain collapses. If your flying weight is above the stipulated weight range, this
will result in a higher minimum speed and faster landing speed and the stall speed of the
glider will also be higher.
The
ZEPHYR-2
has a brake of medium weight resistance (from 1.5 to 3 kg of force) for
the majority of manoeuvres. To reach the stall (never recommended on any type of
paraglider), requires more than 9kg.

Each and every glider has a checklist
note passed though our strict quality
control in the factory. This included
line measurement, ground inflation
and flight testing. Contact your dis-
tributor for more information about
this, and if your glider has not been
pre-inflated ask him to do so for you.
Every glider should be test flow before
it is sold.
Note that each glider has a unique
sticker attached to the centre airfoil
with the serial number, type of glider,
size and weight range.
We recommend that your first flight
on your new glider be on a gentle
slope in calm conditions before mak-
ing your any further higher flights, just
to check the glider and for you to get
used to flying it. We also recommend-
ed that you use a harness that has an
ABS cross strap system.
For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and
Wind-SOS reserve.
