The key to successful launching is to practice
ground-handling on flat ground as often as possible.
The EAZY inflates easily and steadily using forward
or reverse launch techniques. There is no tendency
for the canopy to hang back during inflation. To
forward (alpine) launch in light or nil wind there is
no need to pull the risers hard. Allow the glider to
stabilise overhead and run positively forward
checking the canopy is fully inflated and clear of any
knots or tangles. Reverse launching is
recommended in stronger winds.
The glider has split A-risers. For launching you can
take just the inner A-line riser – this avoids that the
ears are folding in during launching.

EAZY Launch Technique
When using this technique grab the riser lower
(within the marks). This avoids the closing of the
inlets during launch if pulling too hard on the A-
risers. It makes starting much easier when the last
touch of feeling for the wing is still missing. Off
course the wing can be launched like usual as well.
