> congratulations Congratulations on the purchase of your new SYNCRO DHV 2-3. The SYNCRO has been designed to offer maximum safety with high performance, for cross country and competition flying. We strongly recommend that before you even unfold the SYNCRO you read this manual carefully in order to be aware of any general limitations, performance characteristics, take off and flight characteristics, landing procedures, dealing with emergency situations and general maintenance.
> 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.
pulleys. The riser karabiners, also called "Maillons Rapide", are made with stainless steel of 800 Dan. Risers are made of pre-stretched polyester of 900 Dan. > certification The SYNCRO is a paraglider of a high intermediate level that has passed the tests of the DHV level 2-3 with great success. This glider has successfully passed the DHV shock test with a weight equal to the maximum total (all up) take-off weight.
you, and remember that if your flying weight is below the stated minimum, the speed range will diminish and inflation problems may appear. Also the handling will degrade in turbulent conditions, and it will be easier to sustain collapses. If your flying weight is above the stipulated weight range, this will result in a higher minimum speed and faster landing speed and the stall speed of the glider will also be higher. The SYNCRO has a brake of medium weight resistance (from 1.
have no twists in the risers. > strong wind We recommended that the reverse launch is the best technique when the wind is strong at take off. There are many reverse launch methods/techniques which the pilot can learn. To progress well with your flying, and to be a good pilot, it is necessary to master at least one of the techniques.
With the correct technique & qualified instruction the pilot can learn to help stop collapses by flying “actively” & recover the wing more quickly, by the giving the correct input, when collapses occur. Remember, the glider is tested to recover and so it is always better to under-react than to over-react. Over reacting to a situation can prevent the glider from self-recovering, and recovering air speed, and cause it to enter further unstable situations.
input and, once the glider is overhead, symmetrically applying 40 % of both brakes & then releasing immediately will get pressure back in to the glider and speed up the recovery. Do not brake when the glider is behind you, as this can stall the wing, but wait for the glider to come forwards above your head, then brake.
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. If you are already in the air then get down safely before it's too late! Always be aware of the weather changing & if in doubt land as quickly as is safely possible.
This manoeuvre is not approved for bank angles higher than 60 degrees. At this upper limit the sink rate of the canopy is approximately 10 m/s and the overload is equal to 2G's. For bank angles higher than 60 degrees the sink rate can achieve 20 m/s but the greater overload (G's) can cause eyesight and equilibrium problems, and cause some people to 'black out' (faint), which consequently can make the manoeuvre extremely dangerous.
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. Clean the paraglider only with fresh water and a soft sponge. If you are unfortunate to land in the sea & survive! Hose/soak the glider with fresh water & dry completely.
