Repairs must be made only by the manufacturer distributor or authorized workshop 7 5 More 16 UV exposure can seriously decrease the strength of fabric When not flying always try to prevent your canopy from the sun rays Put a canopy into bag when you have break in flights Remember that clouds are not an absolute obstacle for UV exposure For Style 2 we use a silicone coating fabric It is much more resistible to abrasion than other types of fabric But instead of that try to minimize rubbing of your canopy with the ground Always rinse the glider in a fresh water outside and inside of the canopy after contact with a salt water Crystal salt weaken lines and fabric strength While it s possible to rinse fabric but it s quite difficult to rinse lines in full So we recommend to change all lines after being in salt water When folding paraglider on the grass look carefully to avoid insects be folded inside the canopy Grasshoppers and other big insects can gnaw through the sail looking for freedom Paraglide Style 2 Size Serial number Date manufacturing Disributor Date sale Aeros Ltd 5 Post Volynskaya str Kiev 03061 Ukraine tel 380 44 501 46 24 fax 380 44 455 41 16 office aerospara com www aerospara com

7. properly and secured Check your reserve deployment handle with security pins Lay the canopy in a half moon shape against the wind This will allow A lines in the center to be tensioned before the other A s So the canopy will be inflated gradually beginning from the middle sections and the possibility of non horizontal inflation decreases Pull the lines slightly and sort them into A B C D and brakes beginning from the risers For easy control A1 and A2 risers on Aeros Style 2 are marked with red B risers with yellow The brake lines should run freely through the pulleys to the trailing edge of the canopy Important to 9 check that no lines are looped around the canopy lineover Check that there are no sticks or another things catched by the lines Launch Forward launch Hold A risers A1 and A2 with brake handles in your arms keeping B C and D risers in the arm bow Pull up the canopy progressively When the canopy is above your head you should feel the reduction of drug in that moment release the A risers In case if you pulled the canopy too fast it should be necessary to apply the brakes slightly to prevent the forward surge Move your body to the center of the glider to correct the roll if necessary Now you should visually check that the canopy is fully inflated and that the lines go properly and without tangles If anything is not correct do not launch abort and try again Reverse launch You should u
8. s Backward movements by letting the brakes go 3 5 Flying with speed system Using a speed system lowers the angle of attack of a canopy which results in the decreasing of glider stability Push the bar smoothly If you feel the decreasing of pressure on the bar it means that the leading edge of your canopy is close to collapse release the bar gently and apply brakes to counter collapses Try not to use speed system in turbulence 3 6 Landing Style 2 is easy to land Plan your landing approach from a sufficient height The final leg should be against the wind and with brakes slightly pulled down from trim position to avoid tucks Begin to apply brakes harder at 1 1 5m above the ground so that you ll pull full brakes just before 11 touching ground Stronger wind in the landing zone requires less brakes be applied When the wind is more than 6 7 m s to deflate the canopy pull D lines when you ll touch the ground Using brakes in strong wind conditions should result in lifting the pilot and dragged him backwards 3 7 Tow Launching and Motorized Flight Aeros Style 2 is suitable for tow launching and flying with rucksack engine Some types of rucksack engines need longer brake lines Adjust your brake before flight 4 Flying Characteristics 4 1 Trim Speed and Best Glide Trim speed is a speed with brakes up Depending on the pilot s weight it should be in the range of 34 36 kaba Style 2 shows the best glide angle in a still air
9. se this method for windy conditions It is recommended to practice the reverse launch on a training hill to obtain a feeling of the canopy To avoid drag when aborting a launch in a strong wind use rear risers not brakes Using the brakes will increase lift and it should be more difficult to keep your balance 3 2 Turns Aeros Style 2 has easy and responsible handling The most effective turning method is the simultaneous weight shift and pulling the inside brake To increase the wing resistances to collapses in turbulence and to obtain an optimum sink rate pull slightly the outside break while thermalling ATTENTION apply breaks smoothly Don t pull brakes too fast or too hard it can result in the negative spin 3 3 Spiral Dive 10 To enter a spiral dive on Aeros Style 2 you should slowly apply brakes of one side While a bank angle increases apply more brake Control this angle by increasing or reducing the amount of inside brake Use also a weight shift to make entry to a spiral dive easier To exit release brake gently ATTENTION while entering a spiral dive don t pull inside brake too fast it should result in a negative spin Brake application should be in conformity with G force and bank angle Be careful with extra G force both you and your canopy should be overloaded 3 4 Turbulence In turbulence pilots prevent tucks by braking slightly Forward movement of the canopy can be countered by pulling brake
10. w that it should be a big force on the brakes at that moment Now you can release brakes gently but not very slow approx during one second Apply brakes symmetrically to avoid tucks 5 6 Spin Usually spin occur when one side brake is being pulled too hard at not enough speed To enter this situation expressly flying at a speed slightly higher than V min pull one brake hard and release an opposite one ATTENTION Never do this maneuver near the ground and without sufficient experience To recover release pulled down brake and be prepared to prevent asymmetric collapses which should be occured during a recovery from spin 6 Rapid Descent Techniques 14 6 1 Big Ears With big ears sink rate of your paraglider increases approx to 4m s whereas horizontal speed remains the same This technique is used to leave away a strong cloud lift dynamic lift on the ridge or to shorten landing approach To make big ears pull left and right A risers All about 30 40cm downwards ATTENTION do not pull All too much in order not to pull A1 With big ears you may turn by weight shift Applying brakes will result in exiting from big ears Braking too much should provoke a stall earlier than without big ears ATTENTION never do big ears while you are making spirals 6 2 Spiral Dive Spiral dive is another method of increasing significantly a sink rate Read 83 4 about the technique of spiral dive Because of growing of G force don t us
