    41 41 important limitations for using icaro paragliding equipment flying sports are potentially dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. It is the owner's responsibility for all risks associated with use of the paraglider. This paraglider has been certified and built in compliance with dhv 2...

    42 42 ice2 xc design the design brief for the ice2 xc was to create a glider within the safety of the dhv 2 class that would compete with higher class gliders in terms of glide, sink rate, speed and handling. We designed it to meet the highest expectations of experienced performance class pilots who...

    43 43 lines: to ensure durability, icaro uses edelrids hma lines for the ice2 xc. These lines won't stretch and transfer pilots handling directly to the canopy. Depending on the line level, we use different diameters: - diameter 1,8 mm - breaking strengh 229 dan - diameter 1,1 mm - breaking strengh ...

    45 accelerating: for better penetration in headwinds you can fly faster by using the accelerator system. Using the accelerator decreases the angle of attack and can make the gli- der more prone to collapse. Therefore excessive use of the accelerator near the ground should be avoided. Before using th...

    46 46 descent techniques fast descents may be appropriate in certain flight situations. Some examples of when quick descent may improve safety: to descend away from a cumulus cloud that is generating too much lift; to land before a storm arrives; to land in a small or restrictive landing area. Your ...

    47 47 asymmetric release of b-risers: may result in spin. Releasing risers without releasing brakes as well: may result in deep stall. Using brakes directly after exiting: may result in deep or full stall. Spiral dive this manoeuvre can result in extreme descent rates and very high vertical and rota...

    48 48 it is important that you maintain flight path away from terrain or other obstacles. Usually, aggressively rolling your body weight on the good side is sufficient to divert air to the collapse and cause it to re-inflate. If your glider begins to turn and you do not manage to stabilize it, and y...

    49 49 negative spin this manoeuvre generally should not happen in normal flight. Icaro gliders are designed specifically to have a low spin tendency. However, spins are often perfor- med in sfi training to experience the gliders limits and so that pilots can have a bet- ter understanding of the safe...

    50 50 unfortunately, ultra-violet radiation (uv) from the sun degrades the fabric over time, so do not needlessly leave your glider in the sun prior to launch or after landing, fold it away immediately, or at the very least, find some shade to put it in. Similarly, avoid storing it in a superheated ...

Proceed comparing symmetry of all lines. Step 7 check the stainless steel karabiners on each riser. Inspect the stitching on each riser. Activat...
