Check the fuel tank and fuel delivery system.Check for correct mounting of prop, and correct torque of prop bolts.
PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST FLIGHTGiven that the certification of the TRIKE-FLASH is planned for theGOLD 130Engine PPG unit, youhave to follow the procedures described in the proper PPG manual before to take off.WE summarize here the main points.WARNING!Use common sense when refueling. Do not refuel a hot or running engine, do not smokeor allow on- lookers to smoke while refueling. Do not refuel near heat or open flame
Pre-flight InspectionBefore your first flight, and before every flight, it is absolutely essential to perform a pre- flightinspection on your aircraft.WARNING!Failure to perform a sufficient pre- flight has been a contributing factor to accidents in allkinds of aircraft. Equipment damage, bodily injury, even death can occur due to equipment problems notcaught in a pre-flight inspection.As the saying goes, “Pre- flight as if your life depends on it, because it does!”The essential items to check are:?????TRIKE -All the wires well tensioned and tension rods tighten with nuts locked- Check all the Velcro straps and all blockings.PARAGLIDER– this PPG was homologated with the SWING “Powerplay Sting140” modelwhich has a 29,5 m� surface, check the lines and canopy integrity.ENGINE– check everything is ok , the silent-block integrity and gasoline mixture level.PROPELLER– blades integrity, bolts clamping.RECOVERY SYSTEM(if there is) – ready and safety catch off.
NOTE!Example of pre- flight checklists can be found at the end of this manual.It is highly recommended that you use one of the examples, or create your own, print it out, laminate it,and use it whenever you fly.Also note that these Checklists are examples only, FLY PRODUCTS is not responsible for their use orfor their completeness.
Pre-Flight Checklist ExamplesThe following checklists are provided only as EXAMPLES.It is recommended to produce one tailored to your own needs, print it and laminate it, and carry it withyou.

Even though you must know these information learned in your license-flight , we wont rememberyou some important flight information:
Flights under special conditionsRAIN:In principle no flights under rainy conditions should become necessary. Anyway, every pilot may getinto unforeseeable worse weather conditions. And so if the rain is only very light, the flight may becontinued for a certain time, but the wet canopy will get heavier. Therefore flight speed will increase,causing a higher stall speed as well.With a wet wing fly carefully, avoid sudden maneuvers and don't be excessively slow when landing.If the rain gets stronger land!No flights in strong rain!WIND:If the wind speed is over 10 km/h AVOID ABSOLUTELY TO FLY!___________________________________________________________________________�Copyright byFLYProductss.r.l.Page16
TRIKE-FLASH OWNER’S MANUAL
REL . 2.0
FLIGHTS IN SNOWY CONDITIONS:They are not permitted at all. In case it starts to snow during flight land soon as possible!EXTREME TEMPERATURES:Remember that flight parameters changes in different temperature levels.At high temperatures the required power and the required flight speed increases, so that the take offdistance gets longer than in winter. This is similar to flights in high altitudes.
Dangerous situationExtreme flying with a trike and full gas are extremely dangerous and therefore cannot be tested. Theymust be avoided at all costs. Problems do not arise during a normal flight. However, pilot error duringthe flight or extreme wind conditions may force the wing into an unusual flying position. This mayrequire the pilot to make corrections during flight to which he may not be used to.In this section we explain how to correct extreme situations if they do arise. The maneuvers describedbelow are based on the legal -take-off weight as described in the technical data section.These instructions do not replace safety training or specialized literature. We recommend that youundertake special safety training which will prepare you for extreme situations.Always keep within the recommended limits. Do not perform aerobatics or extreme flying maneuvers.FRONT STALLStrong turbulence can cause part or all of the leading edge of the glider to fold or tuck under.Normally the SWING “Powerplay sting 140” wing will immediately recover into its normal flightposition.- RecoveryIf the wing not immediately recover from a frontal tuck, brake quickly and strongly with both steering-lines (brake lines) to re-inflate the glider.Any weather condition which causes a front stall is dangerous. If you get into such weather land as soonas possible and do not continue before the weather got quieter!
FULL STALLA full stall could occur i full brake is applied during the flight. The paraglider slows down, surgesfbackwards and deflates. If the brakes are held down, the canopy comes up over the pilot again.- RecoveryFully release the brakes within 3 seconds. If you release the brakes too slowly, theparaglider may spin. The spin stops automatically when the brakes are released completely.
ASYMMETRICAL TUCKSIn turbulent air, one side of the paraglider may collapse. Some of the cells deflate and the wing maycollapse or spin.During test flights the “Powerplay sting 140” wing self- recovered it turned less than 90� and stabilizeditself.- Recovery___________________________________________________________________________�Copyright byFLYProductss.r.l.Page17
TRIKE-FLASH OWNER’S MANUAL
REL . 2.0
• Counter-brake slightly on the side of the paraglide that is still inflated tostop it turning away and to stabilize it.• Counter-brake just enough that the paraglider continues to fly straight ahead.• If the wing has not yet self-recovered, pump with the brake on the side thathas collapsed in order to open it, making use of the full brake travel.WARNING!Counter-braking too strongly can result in a stall on the inflated side.
TAKE-OFF PROCEDURELine up the TRIKE-FLASH with the wind directionSpread the SWING “Powerplay STING 140” paraglider behind the trikeConnect correctly all the lines to the TrikePull forward the Trike until the lines are straightAvoid to start with the wing too close, this may receive a dash that reducing its lifetime, as wellas to an overloading of the push rods: Their steel cables do not support horizontal loads but onlyvertical !When you are ready, check the wind again (always take off and land against the wind!), hold thethrottle handgrip in the hand, check the cable is free and safe, and both brake handles into hands.Start the engine , give gas gradually and watch the paraglider movement, if the paraglider doesn't comeup symmetrically correct it immediately with the brake, if it is not longer possible abort the take-off!Shut off the engine and redo the sequence from start.Once the paraglider is over the Trike it may be necessary to brake it a little bit to avoid that the wingmay go forward to much and drop over, curves are made just with the paraglider, the Trike will follow.After a few seconds (depending on the wind, from 2 to 15 meters ) with full gas the Trike will take offand fly.-----
The FlightFlying the TRIKE-FLASH is very similar to flying a standard backpack motor system, but morecomfortable.You can set the gas with the cruise control on the handgrip and trim the paraglider for to fly straight.
LandingLanding a Trike is much easier than a with a normal paramotor as the forward speed it’s not veryimportant parameter. The essential is to land straight against the wind, avoiding to curve before camecompletely down!

MAINTENANCERegular checks obligation.In Germany the PARA TRIKE (only with empty mass less than 120 Kg.) must not be checked once ayear, it depends on the manufacturer. Most of them declare: must be checked once a year by a qualifiedperson. We too align with this behavior and recommend you to check it once a year!The same with the canopy, it depends on the manufacturer of the canopy, most of them must be checkedin a TWO years cycle by manufacturer.
Ordinary MaintenanceEven if the TRIKE-FLASH don’t need important maintenance, we suggest to proceed every 100 hoursof use to an accurate inspection of following items:-WHEEL’S ROLLER BEARINGSRemove the wheels, extract and clean the roller bearings for check their wear condition: If you havesome doubt, don’t hesitate, replace immediately!Before reassemble remember to accurately grease them inside and outside.
