AND FL YING
TECHNIQUES
In general, the KUDOS 2 will behave conventionally to most
paragliders. However, listed below are several points which will
enable you to familiarise yourself with your new glider more
rapidly.
4.1. Pre-flight Checks
• Check the sail for damage to both surfaces, the internal
structure (ribs, diagonals) and seams.
• 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.
• Check that the risers are not damaged or twisted.
• Lastly, check that the brake handles are correctly attached
and that each line runs freely through its pulley

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
forward until the lines get stretched. You should now be perfectly
centred with your wing. With no wind or light headwind, with lines
stretched, KUDOS 2 inflates rapidly and rises over your head with
some dynamic steps.
We recommend that you do not pull the risers too far
forward or down, which could cause a collapse of the leading
edge, but simply follow them until your glider reaches its angle
of flight. It is important that the gravity centre of your body stays
in front of your feet during the rise of the glider to constantly load
the risers.
A controlled inflation allows you to check the wings and lines
during the last phase as it comes up and thus avoids the need
