With your purchase you have decided on a high-quality product. Get to know the product before you start to use it. Carefully read the following operating instructions. Use the product only as described and only for the given areas of application. Keep these instructions safe. When passing the product on to a third party, always make sure that the documentation is included.

Intended Use

This product is a sporting good for personal use and is not suitable for children under age 14 years.

Suitable for wind forces 2 - 6 (Beaufort).

Safety Notices:

This is a sporting good, not a toy, as the use of this product requires a lot of caution and practice. Please note even small parafoil kites can reach high speeds and considerable pull in high winds.

WARNING!

Life-Threatening Situation

Never fly this product:

• above persons or animals and avoid collision with the kite and the lines!
• less than 200m from streets, trails, railroad tracks or busy areas.
• less than 5km from airports, glider fields, helipads and military low-altitude flight zones.
• higher than 100m.
• less than 500m from utility poles and high voltage lines.
• in thunderstorms.
• in no-fly zones.

When using the parafoil kite abroad be sure to inquire about the country's local regulations.

Risk of Injury

Never fly this product:

• in wind forces in excess of your strength. Stop flying this product if winds are too strong.
• in conservancies, nature preserves or bird sanctuaries or where flying is prohibited.
• When using the assistance of another person for launching the kite this person must leave the danger area backwards immediately after releasing the kite to prevent injury from a crashing parafoil kite.
• Never fly this product holding the line itself in your hands, and avoid touching the line during flight. The line may cause deep cuts.
• If you are unable to control this product and too much pull builds before you are able to land it, release the line to avoid injury or being lifted off the ground.
• Do not add to the included line. This product will otherwise be virtually impossible to control.
  • Always check this product for damage such as tears, etc. before launching it.
  • Discontinue use if damaged.
• Only use genuine parts and lines to avoid damage to the product.
• Do not attach loads to the product.
• Always observe the approved maximum wind force for this product.
• Only fly in wind forces which are manageable based on your skills and strength.
• Novices should gradually attempt higher wind speeds.

Avoiding Property Damage

Never fly this product:

• near trees.
• near other parafoil kites or stunt kites.

Maintain a safe distance!

Please verify whether your personal liability insurance provides sufficient coverage for flying parafoil kites! We assume no liability for damage due to crashes!

General Information about Flying Parafoil Kites

Introduction to parafoil kites

Parafoil kites are kites without spars which develop a flight shape similar to paragliders in air stream. Since they consist only of fabric and lines they fold to a small size and can easily be packed for air travel. Parafoil kits haven upper and lower sail with connectors to give them a wing shape. These cells either all or some feature an opening on the inflow side.

The cells themselves are interconnected so that pressure differences can be balanced inside. When air streams into the front edge the cells fill with back pressure higher than the pressures on the outer surface. This stabilises the shape of the kite. The lift generated by the low pressure on the top face is deflected from the lower side onto the two flying lines through a complex bridle of lines.

Wind Window (fig. A)

A parafoil kite is flown in the so-called wind window. The pilot stands with his back downwind, the wind window in front of the pilot. Depending on the wind force the wind window is so to speak a large quarter round.

The parafoil kite can't be flown outside of this wind window as the air cells would not be filled with sufficient air stream.

Power Zone (fig. A)

At the centre of the wind window is the so-called power zone. In this area straight ahead of the pilot the strongest air stream should be expected.

A: direction of wind
B: power zone

The Airfield

Verify the suitability of the airfield (see safety notices). This area should be free from large obstacles such as trees or houses. The airfield must be free from tripping points. These could not only cause swirling wind but also interfere with the parafoil kite and also damage it. Large, open fields or sandy beaches are ideal.

Crashes

Crashes are unavoidable and are part of flying kites. Many of them appear much worse than they truly are. However: the stronger the wind the more violent the crashes! Try to avoid these if possible. We assume no liability for damage caused by crashes.

Before Launching

Securing the flying line to the handle (see assembly overview)

Remove the handle (7) from the storage pouch. Completely unwind both flying lines (4) from the handle. Now secure one flying line to the right strap on the handle (5) and the other flying line to the left strap of the handle. Secure using the larks head knot (description larks head knot).

Securing the flying line to the para- foil kite (see assembly overview)

The parafoil kite must be completely unfolded. First remove the binding point of the flying line (3) from the transport safety loop (9) on the trailing edge (1). Now attach one flying line to each binding point. Secure using the larks head knot (description larks head knot).

Attention!

Before storing the parafoil kite after use, reattach the binding point of the flying line to the transport strap to avoid twisting.

Larks head knot

Place your thumb and index finger inside the knot of the flying line, see fig. B.

Take the loop behind and under, see fig. C.

Push the side ends down, see fig. D.

Securing the flying line to the handle/parafoil kite: Now place the line to be connected (flying line binding point or handle strap), see fig. E.

Slide the larks head knot down to tighten, see fig. F.

Launching

ATTENTION! Always verify the suitability of the field (see safety notices, page 28-29), determine the wind direction and force (using e.g. special wind gauges – not included – available at speciality retailers). Also note the description of wind forces page 32.

Ideally, have an assistant hold the parafoil kite with the bottom facing the wind. The air cell openings should be facing upward (fig. G). Now step backwards against the wind until the flying line is taut. Your assistant should still be holding on to the kite. Once you give the command your assistant will release the parafoil kite. Do not toss the parafoil kite into the air! In sufficient wind you will only need to firmly jerk the flying line now, and perhaps another step backwards. Pay attention to other persons or obstacles.

Directing

Fly your parafoil kite as if riding a bicycle. Slightly pulling the left end of the handle will make your parafoil kite turn left, pulling the right side of the handle will make it turn right (see fig. H and fig. I). Maintaining the turns longer will have your parafoil kite fly entire loops.

The closer you pull the flying line to your body the smaller the loops.

Landing

To land the kite simply guide the parafoil kite far right or left, i.e. out of the wind window (see fig. A). It will slow down and slowly touch down.

After landing immediately retrieve the parafoil kite, most importantly the flying lines to avoid damage or injury.

In strong winds the parafoil kite may again begin to fill with air and lift off.

Storing the Parafoil Kite

Once you have secured the parafoil kite on the ground, remove the larks head knot between the two binding points of the flying line and the flying line itself (see assembly overview). Now secure the right binding point to the right transport strap, and the left binding point to the left transport strap of the trailing edge. This will avoid the line from tangling before the next use. Now remove any sand and dirt from the parafoil kite. Be sure the parafoil kite is completely dry. Now return the product to inside the transport pouch. Also remove the larks head knots between the flying lines and the guide handle. To prevent the flying line from tangling hook each end of the end strap over the flange of a winder (fig. J). Now use the winder to wind the flying line around the handle (fig. K). To secure wind the last 20cm of the flying line diagonally across the handle and slide the end straps under the diagonal winding (fig. L).
