User manual | MINIMAX BUMP Flight phases In flight. Set the distance between the two carabiners according to the aerology of the moment, and the wing manufacturer’s recommendations.

If you feel a loss of tension in the speed-bar/accelerator, stop pushing it and apply a light brake pressure on the toggles to...

If in doubt quickly deploy your emergency parachute. Deploying a rescue parachute should only be done in an...
