3-FLYING WITH WANÌ LIGHT 2

3.1 - Preflight checks

For maximum safety use a valid and complete preflight inspection 
method and repeat the same sequences mentally for each flight. Check 
that:

 

- The reserve parachute handle is fastened in its correct posi-

tion, and the pins are firmly inserted

 

- The pockets and zips are closed

 

- All the buckles are closed

 

- The paraglider is connected correctly to the harness, and that 

both karabiners are locked closed by means of their locking system

 

- The speed bar is attached correctly to the glider

After careful assessment that the weather conditions are favourable 
for the flight, put on the harness by simply fastening the “GET-UP” 
strap, or rather closing the buckles present on the chest strap with 
those of the leg straps, on both the right and left sides. This simple 
operation must be performed and checked carefully for safe flight

3.2 - Pockets

In flight configuration, WANÌ LIGHT 2 has a spacious rear pocket, in whi-
ch a rucksack for transport can be stowed. You can place clothing and 
a camel-bak in the remaining space. On the sides of the harness there 
are two elastic mesh pockets with safety loops where you can secure 
your items and zipper.

In rucksack configuration, an elastic Lycra pocket, used for transpor-
ting telescopic poles, is provided on the left side. Another convenient 
elastic Lycra pocket is provided on the right side to hold bottles or 
other objects, which can be reached even with the rucksack on your 
shoulders. On the top part of the rucksack there is a very useful and 
versatile elastic rope where you can secure clothing or other items ex-
ternally. Just above the elastic cord is a small zipped pocket which con-
tains the expandable net for the helmet, useful for externally fastening 
your helmet to the rucksack to gain extra space inside. The elastic net 
can be adapted to any type of helmet and is fitted on the top end with 
two plastic couplings for fixing it over the zipper on the top pocket.
