Packing your McDaddy
•
Spread the glider flat on its top surface, then lay the lines on top.
The risers should be laid on the ground, at the centre of glider,
near the trailing edge.
•
Take a wing tip and fold it in to the centre of the wing. Repeat
this until the glider is folded up and approx. 60 cm's wide.
•
Do the same to the other side of the glider. Always make sure
that the leading edge is kept in one straight line, as it is important
not to badly crease the reinforcing fabrics in the leading edge.
•
Don't fold the glider along the same lines every time; any type
of folding reduces the strength of the fabric over time.
•
Push out any remaining air by flattening the folded wing from the
trailing edge to the leading edge.
•
Fold the glider so that the bundle is approximately the size and
shape of the OZONE rucksack. Never roll the wing up as this
introduces unnecessary stresses into the fabric.
•
Always pack your McDaddy as loosely as you can, as every fold
weakens the cloth on any paraglider.
•
Finally, wrap the glider tie around the bundle and put it in the
stuff sack.
General Glider Care
UV damage
UV rays from the sun degrade paraglider cloth. Do not expose your
McDaddy to the sun for a moment longer than necessary.
Storage
Always store all your flying equipment in a dry room.
Do not pack your McDaddy away for any length of time until it is
completely dry.
A damp paraglider can be dried by hanging it over a washing line -
preferably out of the sun. Allow it to dry naturally, never use a hair
dryer etc.
Even when the McDaddy is dry, leave the rucksack zip open when
possible to allow residual moisture to evaporate. Do not store your
McDaddy near chemicals such as dyes, paints or gasoline.
Cleaning
Any abrasion or water will effect the cloth of your McDaddy. Ozone
recommends that stains or marks which have dried into the cloth are
left uncleaned.
If you must clean your McDaddy, use only a soft cloth dampened only
with water. Only clean small areas and never clean the leading edge
top surface as this is the most sensitive part of any paraglider.
Never put your glider in the washing machine or use any sort of
chemical cleaners!
Wing Repairs
Amateur repairs can do more harm than good. Always let a registered
dealer or the manufacturer carry out major glider repairs.
On the Gelvenor fabric, very small holes in the wing may be repaired
with a very thin coat of silicone glue and Gelvenor cloth, as long as
the tear is not on the stitching of the wing. Stick the repair cloth on
both the inside and outside of the rip and use a large overlap.
The Porcher Marine fabric can be mended with sticky rip stop /
spinnaker tape.
