> congratulations Congratulations on the purchase of your new paraglider The KALI has been designed for intermediate and experienced pilots that are looking for a superb all round performing wing with incredibly sweet, dynamic handling , and absolutely minimal compromise in stability.
> warning & liability This manual has been created to give the pilot help and hints to help with the correct operation of this wing. By no means is this a substitute of a training course, or appropriate experience gained with years and hours of airtime, nor is this manual intended to give pilot´s knowledge regarding flight safety. assumes that the purchasing pilot has the appropriate pilot's licence, has taken a training course, and has the suitable ability and enough experience to safely fly the KALI.
Dacron 310-180 gr. Line attachment points are made of polyester. -- lines The lines are made of Superaramid kevlar covered with a polyester sheath for protection against wear, UV and abrasion. The riser karabiners, also called "Maillons Rapide", are made with stainless steel of. Risers are made of pre-stretched polyester. > certification The KALI is a paraglider of a intermediate level that has passed the tests of the DHV level 1-2 with great success.
the best glide is obtained between 0% brake and 10% of brake. The KALI is a DHV 1-2 accelerated but using the accelerator system close to the ground is not advisable & it should be released as soon as turbulent air is encountered. Note that the glide angle is not affected by the wing loading, but that the security is. Always fly a glider that is the correct size for you, and remember that if your flying weight is below the stated minimum, the speed range will diminish and inflation problems may appear.
Open your glider in a slight horseshoe arc (semi-circle) & thoroughly check that you have no knots or line twists. Make sure your helmet is securely fastened & clip into your harness making sure all straps are securely fastened. Connect risers to your harness making certain that your karabiners are fully closed & you have no twists in the risers.
ciated with thermals. If you progress at a nice steady rate, and keep safe, you will find thermal flying will become a pleasure. With qualified instruction you will actually learn faster, learning how to optimise your thermal skills. A safety (SIV) course is something to consider, as these teach you how to deal correctly with unstable situations such as collapses, rapid descent manoeuvres, stalls ands spins, and so you will get far more from your flying.
using the speed system in turbulent air, or sometimes whilst flying down-wind of another paraglider & being 'waked' by the wing tip vortices of the glider and turbulence wake turbulence of the pilot. Remember, the pilot can learn to help stop collapses by flying 'actively', but if a front tuck does occur it will easily clear itself.
> weather to fly If in doubt whatosoever about the weather and flying conditions, then do not launch! Before going flying you should check the weather forecast & always ask more experienced pilots about the conditions expected for the day. Never fly if there weather conditions are unsuitable, especially with any of the following present or even threatening: Strong wind; Rain; Thunderstorms; Cumulus Nimbus; or Cumulus Congestus.
with the wind, and it is very easy to become disorientated. This manoeuvre is not approved for bank angles higher than 60 º. At this upper limit the sink rate of the canopy is approximately 10 m/s and the overload is equal to 2G's.
> maintenance When folding the glider, we recommend to put reinforcements one above each other in order to avoid that they might suffer any kind of deformation. Store the paraglider in a dry space away from chemical agents, UV light and high temperature. If the canopy has been packed wet it is necessary to reopen it and let it dry before packing away for a sustained period. Keep the canopy and lines clean, as dirt may penetrate into the fibres and damage them.
