Paraglider Newbi Help

When you're doing a hand launch, don't toss it, just gradually get the motor up to speed and wait for the parafoil cells to fill up and start rising overhead, once the parafoil has risen 90 degrees and you fell it starting to pull away from you, with a gentle flick of the wrist forward, release it and rev up the motor.

Forget about the foil sail and get the rip-stop nylon one instead. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__14284__HobbyKing_Paraglider_Parafoil_2_15m.html. Much more conforming and not rigid, like that foil one that comes with the trike.

When you say kite you mean it goes up and as the trike moves forward, the parafoil stays up right? I realized for mine the parafoil can get up to a vertical position initially but it have difficulty staying up. Perhaps it is due to an almost windless situation on my test day? I realized the foil turns to one side very easily so I went back and also changed the main lines separation to 200mm. Have not tested yet. I guess I would try it again soon and adjusting the AOA at the field...

Thanks guys. But I have already read through the whole thread and followed the instructions. Just would like to check whether anyone faced the same problem like mine before, the launching technique and a good CG for beginners?

Hmm! worked for me the other day.
Well look in the belatrike build thread.
