As a Pilot of an BGD LUNA paramotor glider you have chosen one of the safest aircraft of

its type available but it must be understood that flying can be a dangerous activity .

Properly trained people flying in a responsible and disciplined manner should only do it. !!

Quick!Summary.!

1. When you pull the trim tab the trimmer down it automatically adjusts to the neutral position.

This is when all the risers are the same length. The Neutral position is the best position for

launch and landing.

2. Launching is best done by pulling just the main A risers (without the big ears risers).

ZY!Very high attention must be paid to the danger of injury to the pilot and bystanders from

a rapidly rotating propeller, which can break and inflict injury at some distance and the

dangers inherent with flammable fuel and other combustible or fusible materials.!
