    5 construction of the canopy: rigging system: the canopy of the envy 2 consists of 56 cells over the wingspan. The wingtips are slightly pulled down and this produces a kind of stabilizer. The envy 2 is a third rib diagonal-construction paraglider. Every main main rib is attached to the 4 or 5 suspe...

    7 the length of the cord leading to the stirrup should be adjusted so that it is easy to put your feet into the stirrup in flight but still short enough to allow full speed system travel. (use of 2 stirrups in a ladder fashion can enable you to reach the full range if your legs are not long enough.)...

    13 warning!! Do not use the forward launch in very strong winds. Make sure you don't pull the risers too much towards yourself or downwards as this can result in a frontal collapse, or in an asymmetric take-off the envy 2 is easy to reverse launch. When doing a reverse launch or when launching in st...

    15 this section describes flying conditions which can be deliberately induced, or which can develop unintentionally due to turbulence or pilot error. Any pilot who flies through turbulence is sure to be faced with these special flight conditions at some point. So take a good look at these flight man...

    17 parachutal stall (deep stall): full-stall: in a parachutal stall the paraglider has no forward momentum combined with a high descent rate. A parachutal stall can be caused by, among other reasons, a too slow exit from a b-line stall or severe turbulence. Porous canopies (uv influence) or canopies...

    19 rapid descents spiral dive: big ears: 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 ...

    21 looking after your canopy correctly will prolong the life of your paraglider. ! 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 reduce uv exposure to a minimum by keeping the paraglider ...
