Your Bullet comes with:
The Atak Harness.
Mountain Back Pack.
Owner's manual.
Stickers.
The Pack
Your Bullet Bag is large enough to carry a standard speedriding harness and your
Bullet. It is also equipped with external straps that can be used to carry skis or
snowboards and other equipment. We recommend always using appropriate safety
and rescue equipment when traveling in the backcountry in snow conditions.
The Atak Harness
Your Bullet harness, the Atak, is a special harness developed for speed-flying. The
hang-points, structure, and pilot positioning are all specifically engineered for speed-
flying pilots. Your Atak harness is adjustable for upright and semi-reclined flying,
although most experienced speed flying pilots prefer to be in an upright position in
order to move from seated to skiing quickly and easily.
Brake Lines
The brake line lengths have been set carefully during testing. It should not be
necessary to change the lengths. However, if you do choose to adjust them, do so in a
progressive manner to ensure that they are not over-shortened.
IMPORTANT:
In the unlikely event of a brake line snapping in flight, or a
handle becoming detached, the glider can be flown by gently pulling the rear
risers for directional control.
Risers
The Bullet has 2 risers. Each riser is covered with coloured webbing, which makes
them easy to identify.
Snow Stake System
Your Bullet is equipped with a snow-stake system, which allows you to lay your wing
out more comfortably on steep or slippery snow slopes. To install the snow stakes,
simply loop them to the webbing attachment points on the top surface of the wing.
To use the snow stakes, push them into the snow surface a few centimeters. This
should allow you to lay your wing out and check your lines safely without the wing
sliding down the snow slope towards you. You may leave the snow stakes in the
snow and launch normally, the snow stakes will pull out and will not affect the flying
characteristics of your wing. Do not use the snow stakes in hardpacked snow
conditions or any snow condition from which they will not easily pull free when
launching.
Suggested Weight Ranges
Total flying weight in kilograms including all ski equipment:
Pilot Expert
Bullet 100 >75kg- flying weight
Bullet 122 >90 kg- flying weight
Bullet 144 >10 0 kg- flying weight
Wing loading – kilograms per square meter:
~8kg/m2 = Expert
~7kg/m2 = Intermediate
~6kg/m2 = Beginner
Preparation
Lay out the Bullet on its top surface in a pronounced arc, with the centre of the wing
higher than the tips. Lay out the lines one side at a time. up the risers and starting
with the brake lines, pull all lines clear. Repeat with the B and A lines, laying the
checked lines on top of the previous set, and making sure no lines are tangled, knotted
or snagged. Repeat the process on the other side. If necessary, use the provided snow
stakes to secure your wing to the snow.
Always perform the following pre-flight check before launching your Bullet:
1.1 Helmet- chin strap firmly fastened.
2.2 Harness to wing carabiners closed and locked.
3.All Harness Buckles firmly closed.
4.4 corners of your wing- A and B lines (including brakes) on both sides clear and free.
5.Airspace and weather – clear and calm.
Launching
Your Bullet will launch with either the forward or reverse techniques, but it is easiest to
forward launch with skis.
After your line check and pre-flight check, inflate your wing by skiing forward away
