From now on you should steer the paraglider facing forward,

without looking back over your shoulder (when the wing is low

behind you, turning can cause some lines to get in the propeller).

Still, possible fall on your back and damaging the propeller is

dangerous (and costly!) so it should be avoided at any price, even

that of some damaged lines!

During take-off, when you feel the strain on both risers to be equal,

make sure the canopy is overhead, open up full power and lean

back to counter the engine thrust, so that it can push you forward

rather than towards the ground. The best option is not to use the

brakes, allowing the paraglider to rise as it was laid out. If it starts to

swerve from its course, just pull the opposite riser and run under

the centre of the wing while preserving starting direction. If the

wind suddenly drops, give a stronger pull on the risers. If the

paraglider falls to one side or back too far to be lifted again - kill

the engine, interrupt launch and check the conditions once again.

As the wing rises, the forces grow lighter and it should stabilise

above your head without overshooting. This is the best moment to

check if it is inflated well and the lines are not tangled, but do so

neither stopping nor turning. Once you feel the forces on the risers

decrease, run faster and let go of the risers. See if there is already

any opposition on the brakes and, if necessary, use them to correct

direction or to increase lift at take-off.

Remember:

If the cage of your power unit is not stiff enough, the risers

strained during launch can deform it to the extent of collision

with the propeller. Before giving it full power, see that the cage

does not catch any lines.

Any brake operation (or steering inputs in general) should be

smooth and gentle.

Do not try to take off until you have your wing overhead.

Hitting power before that can cause dangerous oscillations.

Do not sit in the harness until you are sure you are flying!

The faster the trim setting is, the more brake input is required to

take off.

The lower the hangpoints of your power unit are, the easier is

the launch.

Reverse launch in strong wind

Reverse launch can be executed holding in one hand both A risers

and one brake, with throttle and the second brake in the other

launch
