Take-Off; Reverse Launch - Supair Step X Notice D'utilisation

Glider user's manual | STEP X
The R&D team has optimized the wing's performance in response to the most ambitious pilots needs, while maintaining optimal
passive safety, making the STEP X a well built and behaved glider in all circumstance.
However, before the first flight, practice ground handling to familiarize yourself with your new wing. It is possible to inflate it forward
or reversed.
Inflating the STEP X is easy without any hard point ; the sequence demands and adaptation to the weather conditions of the day.
Forward launch
To inflate the glider grab the upper ends of the "A" risers with your hands and progressively move foreward guiding the glider
upward. Once the wing is flying overhead, apply brakes as necessary, look up and perform a visual check before accelerating to take
off.

Reverse launch

If the wind speed is sustained and permits it, we will advise you to use a reversed inflation method more adapted to conduct a better
visual check. Face the wing and grab the "A" risers. With a light pull and adapted rearward walking motion, inflate your wing. Once
the glider is stable overhead, turn around, look up once more to check that all is ok. before running down the slope and takeoff.
Note: it is not necessary to use the "A" risers to inflate the wing.
Caution !
Before take-off, ensure for the airspace to be clear in front, around and above you with weather conditions matching your flying skill
level..
