Surface, span and aspect ratio are calculated from the computer and are measured on the axis of the profile.
*The performance data for the Glide angle of the Sigma 6 are dependant upon the position of the pilot, the aerodynamic style
of the harness and the type of clothing worn (eg: Speed arms).

THE MATERIALS
31 The SIGMA 6, like all ADVANCE products, is produced as the result of
the latest developments and experience in the sport. All the materi-
31.05 als used for the paraglider have been carefully selected in order to
26.71 allow our products an excellent longevity. The materials are systema-
13.04 tically tested and all canopies undergo quality control testing. The life
10.48 of a wing may vary in big proportion according to the care given to
5.48 the utilisation and maintenance.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION

Before supplying your canopy your sales agent should make a gene-
ral test flight and set the brakes and speed system controls.
Brakes
There should be a minimum 8 cm free play between the brakes rele-
ased position and the start of action on the canopy. This will prevent
the trailing edge from being deformed when using the speed system.
It is better to have long brake line and to fly with a turn around the
hand.
FAMILIARISATION
We advise you to gradually become familiar with your canopy by initi-
2 ally flying in calm conditions on a site that you are experienced with.
Before each flight make a thorough pre-flight inspection, checking
2 for any tears, tangling of the suspension lines, risers, all quick links
and the harness.
A few practise inflations in easy conditions will strengthen your trust
in the handling of the SIGMA 6 from the outset. This glider is not de-
veloped for powered acrobatic flight. Please fly the glider within its li-
mits and avoid extreme situations.
Take off
The SIGMA 6 is suited to forward and reverse inflations. Lay the
canopy out so as to maintain its elliptical form at the leading edge.
Hold the risers below the large quick link then advance until all the
A suspension lines are under light tension. Position yourself in a
central position relative to the canopy. At the start of take off, gently
