3 general dear mac para pilot we congratulate you on your purchase of a mac para paraglider. Extensive development work and numerous tests make the eden 5 a very high performance paraglider with maximum possible safety. The eden 5 is constructed for thermal and cross-country flying, and will enable ...
4 (&( operating limits the eden 5 is light sport aircraft with an empty weight of less than 120 kg in the category paraglider. The eden 5 has been tested by certification laboratory european para academy to ltf/en-b category. The eden 5 is certified for solo flight. The eden 5 has been load and shoc...
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...
6 (&( a mark on the main brake line indicates the position of the brake handle. This adjustment, on the one hand, allows sufficient brake to be applied during extreme flying situations and when landing, while on the other hand, this ensures that brakes are not permanently applied to the canopy (espe...
7 (&( test your speed system for the correct length of cord on the ground first (simulating flying position), with your harness and risers, before flying with it! The full range is reached when the 2 pulleys join together. Before launch, attach the paraglider’s risers to the harness with the main ka...

10 check on a new paraglider before delivery, as well as during production, each paraglider goes through a strict visual inspection. Additionally we recommend that you to check your new glider in accordance with the following points. We recommend that you make this check after flying extreme manoeuv...
11 flying the eden 5 the following information must not under any circumstances be taken as a manual for practising paragliding. We would like to advise you of the eden 5‘s features and important information for your flying and security. Preparing for take off: as for any aircraft a thorough pre-fli...
12 (&( when laying out the glider, the wind direction should be observed. The canopy should be deployed into the wind so both halves of it are loaded symmetrically. The paraglider should be arranged in a semicircle against the wind. This ensures that the a-lines in the centre section of the canopy w...
13 (&( the eden 5 is easy to reverse launch. When doing a reverse launch or when launching in strong winds the paraglider can possibly surge forward more quickly or lift off sooner than desired. To avoid this, walk uphill following the canopy during inflation. As this launch technique can be difficu...
14 (&( steering - turns: the eden 5 is a very responsive paraglider and reacts very directly and instantly to any steering input. Weight shift input quickens turns and ensures minimal height loss. Any weight shift has a greater effect the more loosely the chest-strap is fastened. A combined techniqu...
15 towing the eden 5 is certified for towing. The eden 5 has no out of the ordinary towing characteristics, although a relatively low angle of attack and thus low tow tension should be maintained during launch and the initial part of the tow. The eden 5 has no tendencies towards deep stall/parachuti...
16 (&( active piloting is keeping the glider above your head at all times. We recommend in principle that you hold the brake handle in your hand whenever possible, or fly with your hands through the brake handles, to allow you to react immediately to any possible disturbances. Warning!! If you fly w...
17 (&( the eden 5 generally self recovers from an initiated front tuck. When having a very large front tuck, a frontal rosette can happen (the wingtips move forwards: shaping a horseshoe). Gentle braking can avoid this deformation. A quick recognition of the situation and a quick reaction by braking...
18 (&( spin (or negative spin): pulling brake on one side too fast or too hard can result in a negative spin. During a spin the canopy turns relatively fast around the centre section of the canopy while the inner wing flies backwards (hence the term negative). There are two usual reasons for an unin...
19 rapid descents spiral dive: a spiral dive is the fastest way to lose altitude, however, the very high g-forces make it difficult to sustain a spiral dive for long and it can place high loads on the pilot and glider. By tensing ones abdominal muscles and a higher body tension you can to some exten...
20 (&( warning! Never do big-ears in spirals, as this may drastically reduce the number of lines taking the already high loads, causing structural failure. Attention! All rapid descent techniques should first be practised in calm air and with sufficient height so the pilot can use them in emergency ...
21 looking after your paraglider looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your paraglider. Deterioration: a few tips! The canopy is mainly made of nylon, cloth which, like any synthetic material, deteriorates through excessive exposure to uv. Hence, it is recommended that you red...
22 (&( repairs and checks: tears in the canopy must be professionally sewn. Adhesive patches are only adequate for very minor damage. repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer, distributor or authorized workshops. Only original spare parts may be used! the lines must be checked af...
