1.1 Operating limits

Flux is a very strong paraglider and flying all the usual SIV
manoeuvres will not normally pose a structural problem.
However, frequent extreme manoeuvres training can accelerate
the ageing process dramatically, and Sky recommends having
wings that are often used for SIV-type manoeuvres subjected to
check-ups at shorter intervals than normally stipulated
Correct behaviour in relation to the environment
It is important that we as pilots behave in a responsible way
towards both the environment and the people sharing it with
us. We encourage you to treat nature with respect, to avoid
unnecessary noise, to never litter and to observe all local
regulations. Please also make sure to comply with legislation
regarding protected areas, privately owned property or hunting
areas – this ensures the least possible friction in relation to other
users of the great outdoors, to the benefit of both yourself and
the sport as a whole.
1.2 Pilot Profile
Flux is suitable for talented beginners and intermediates.
Flux is an intermediate cruiser that is also suitable for
motor-gliding.
The predictable characteristics of Flux suit the beginner/
intermediate due to its high lift profile allowing for slow landings
with a reactive flare, and short take offs with a good climb rate.
Flux has a high level of passive safety.

1.3 Certification

Flux has passed the certification according to EN 926-1:2006

1.5 Characteristics

We know that for the PPG pilot, the take-off and landing phase
are crucial and Flux's design is such that launching and landing
are both straight forward and predictable. Flux's good sink/
climb rate allow for low take-off and landing speeds with good
flair characteristics and short take off distances.
Flux is damped in both roll and pitch with a good speed range
making it ideal for relaxed cruising flights.
1.6 Features
• Flux features a composite leading edge (Mylar & Nylon
rods) to assist inflation by presenting the open leading to
the airflow even in nil winds.
• Skytex 38 fabric is used for both top and bottom surfac-
es. Skytex was chosen for its excellent moisture repellent
properties as well as for durability. Being moisture repellent
means that the gliders launch and flight characteristics are
improved if launching from dew laden grass as is so often
the case for early morning or late evening flights.
