In general, the APOLLO 2 light will behave conventionally to
most paragliders. However, listed below are several points
23,25 24,84
which will enable you to familiarise yourself with your new glider
9.92 10.25
more rapidly.

4.1. Pre-flight Checks
55 55
3.75 3.95 • Check the sail for damage to both surfaces, the internal
structure (ribs, diagonals) and seams.
85-108 99-125
• Check that the lines are not damaged or tangled.
• Check that the quick-links which connect the lines to the
risers are undamaged and correctly tightened.
B B • Check that the risers are not damaged or twisted.
• Lastly, check that the brake handles are correctl

4.2. Take-off

Lay the paraglider out with the leading edge in a horseshoe
shape. Hold the A risers close to the quick links and move
XS,S M, L, XL
forward until the lines get stretched. You should now be perfectly
47 cm 50 cm
centered with your wing. With no wind or light headwind, with
47 cm 50 cm
lines stretched, APOLLO 2 light inflates rapidly and rises over
47 cm 50 cm
your head with some dynamic steps.
We recommend that you do not pull the risers too far forward
XS,S M, L, XL
or down, which could cause a collapse of the leading edge, but
35 cm 36 cm
simply follow them until your glider reaches its angle of flight. It
41 cm 43 cm
is important that the gravity center of your body stays in front of
47 cm 50 cm
your feet during the rise of the glider to constantly load the risers.
12 cm 14 cm A controlled inflation allows you to check the wings and lines
during the last phase as it comes up and thus avoids the need
to use brakes. Depending on the wind conditions or the slope,
an adequate use of brakes can help you to take-off more quickly.
