Introductory flights on the Warp wing
Warp is a high-performance paraglider, dedicated for fast flying, where usually high-powered paramotors are used. Some of these paramotors in certain configurations can cause considerable torque effect which very negatively affects paraglider’s stability, especially at high RPM.

Safety notice – right way of fix the strap in PowerSeat harness
It was noted that some pilots put the velcroed strap through the buckle in a wrong way, as a result negating any protection for the zip. This can lead to detaching the side container or pouch.

Safety notice – band stitching
Despite multi-layered quality control a fault was found in a single Nucleon XX canopy. Namely, in one of the risers additional bar tacks were missing on the band covering inner stitch, where the upper pulley of the speed system is fixed under a cover.

Use the trimmers symmetrically!
The trimmers are one of the basic controls. Despite the fact that principles of their operation are broadly understood, we need to underline some basic safety rules.

Do not try a spiral with released trimmers!
Fundamentally, executing any dynamic maneuvers creating high loads (spiral, dynamic wingover etc) with opened trimmers is dangerous!

Adjusting the hangpoint system in a high-performance canopy!
Experience shows that high-performing canopies like Snake and Hadron are easier to steer with a „low" or "medium" hangpoint system.
READ MORENever exceed load limits!
Never exceed load limits!
Exceeding the take-off weight limits as given in the technical data of the paraglider („Pilot take-off weight”) increases risk of an incident in case of pilot’s error. The smaller is the wing area as compared to take-off weight, the greater the risk – so among the most exposed will be racing paragliders like Snake XX and Hadron XX, as well as Snake and Hadron 1.1.
