Page 5: Technical Description
5 technical description construction of the canopy: the canopy of the eden 5 consists of 52 cells over the wingspan. The wingtips are slightly pulled down and this produces a kind of stabilizer. The eden 5 is combination of two and third rib diagonal-construction paraglider. Every second or third ma...

7 technical description trimmers: the eden 5 ppg has a wider in flight speed range due to the range of different trimmer settings. The trimmers have a acceleration range of 5cm. On the faster setting (trimmers fully open and extended) the eden 5’s speed increases.On lower trimmer setting (neutral – ...

15 flying the eden 5 brakes (max 30% of the brake range). The faster the trimmer setting is, the more brake input is required for take-off. Set the trimmers to neutral for easy launching. Once you have safely taken off continue heading into the wind. Release the brakes to gain enough altitude to all...

Any pilot who flies through turbulence is sure to be faced with these special flight conditions at some point. So take a goo...

The canopy suddenly surges backwards a long way. In spite of this uncomfortable reaction of the canopy, both brake lines must be consequently he...

26 extreme flying manoeuvres warning! Full-stall, spin and wingover (over 90 degree angle of bank) are prohibited aerobatic manoeuvres and may not be performed during normal flying. Incorrect recovery procedures or overreacting of the pilot may have dangerous consequences! Attention! The eden 5 is n...

27 rapid descents big ears: when in big-ears, the horizontal speed is higher than the sink rate, unlike a spiral dive or a b-line stall. This rapid descent technique is used to quickly and horizontally exit a dangerous area in the desired direction. In order to collapse the outside wing, pull the ou...
Page 28: Golden Rules
28 golden rules always carry out full pre-flight checks before launching. Never place your paramotor downwind of the glider. Check that there is no fuel leakage. Do you have enough fuel for the flight? It is always better to have too much than too little in case of an emergency landing. check for ...
