2 Thanks First of all, thank you for purchasing our ASKA wing, we are certain that it will satisfy you throughout your progression in speed flying. We also wish to thank all those involved in the evolution of our brand, that is our suppliers for the quality and of their work, our partners and associates for their valuable support, schools that we work with,and pilots and riders, who trust us. Security notes This user guide is by no means a guide to learn how to practice speed flying. It shows the technical details, specifications, etc., of the ASKA wings This document includes important information should be read in full before using the product. Speed flying is a risky sport, so it is necessary to get some training at a paragliding or speedflying school. The practice of speed-flying is not provided by most traditional insurance. It is necessary to take out aviation liability insurance to be covered for third party damages. Make sure you know the local regulations on this subject in the country you want to fly in. The French federation on free flight (La Fédération Française de Vol Libre) can provide an insurance like this (Civile Aérienne (RCA)) As in most high risk sports, use of drugs or alcohol before or during practice can greatly increases the risk of an accident. Any incident caused by use of the product inconsistent with the manual cannot be attributed to ASKA or seller of this equipment. The user of the product remains in full circumstances responsible for the use of it. Regular reviews carried out by a professional, are required for security reasons. At the end of this manual there is a maintenance log to be completed by the person who conducted the review. The ASKA speed flying wing is intended only the practice of this sport. They are not designed for ski flying, or jumping out of aircraft. They are not meant for maneuvers out of the flight envelope. Although our test pilots have tested their reactions in extreme situations (closing of the wing, stall), maneuvers "Outside the normal flight" are strongly discouraged. The practice of acrobatics also strongly discouraged Aska sports User's Guide Speed-Flying / Mini wing Page 2 / 14

4 1. Aska sports ASKA brand was founded in 2010, a mix of people from a different background, with a shared passion in speedriding. The first season was devoted exclusively to the speedriding. Now ASKA offers a new speedflying wing in order to adapt to the season. Serge Collin The guy who started it all.., originated from alpine skiing and a great lover of aerial sports, worked for two years for a speed riding brand. He assembled a team of enthusiasts to start this new brand offering products with simple, efficient designs accessible to everyone. No concessions on quality. Florent Curti The designer comes from the world of kitsurfing.after working in designing of kite wings, he created his own CAD software for designing of wings and and parapentes, He s been working in his field since Cédric Plagne Cédric Plagne, snowkiting, paragliding and speed riding instructor our main develop/test pilot in speedflying. He fine tunes the Seventeen and tested it in all conditions. Aeneas Kooman Dutch skydiving instructor,around 2,000 jumps, speed-riding enthusiast, committed with Aska to develop sport in the Benelux and the Nordic countries. Jean-Marie Chaboud said "Tatahi" Attracted to alternative sports. He has been involved in the kitesurfing from the beginning.speedflying since 2005, participated in the creation of Aska and deals with the development of Askaboard (directional kiteboard). Stephane Dufour Amazing Telemarker and excellent speedride competitor, is one of our team riders. He scores 4th in the speed riding cup 2011 in Samoens. He goes ahead of a lot of serious pilots. Laure Gicquel, competitor, won the Speedriding Cup Samoëns 2011 and participates also the development of the speed riding wings. She works together with Cedric and Stéphane, our test and team riders.
5 2. Speedflying / mini-wing :? 3. Using your wing Speedflying, is best described as a form of paragliding with a much smaller wing compared to a conventional glider (between 13 and 19m ² for speedflying, more generally between 22m ² and 28m ² for paragliding). This sport very playful and easy accessible, however, is not without risk: the wings are more resistant to closure and the reopening is quick because of the high load on the wing. The highly loaded wings also have faster reactions with input that may surprise a pilot and may lead to an accident. In addition, the speed of the wing requires a good landing technique to avoid contact with the incoming planet. The mini-wings open unexpected possibilities in terms of flight conditions, and new sensations. Enjoy and stay safe! Presentation The One Seven is designed to assist you in the development of your speedflying skills. This is an easy wing, with a large control range, good damping, quick inflation, immediate control of the pilot taking off and a good flair. This wing can be used in both high winds and in thermal conditions. The wing was tested in strong wind conditions, stalls and wing closures where initiated on purpose. It has shown quick recovery from wing closure and stalls. It demonstrated good overall stability. Weight range and experience Here below a table showing the minimum level recommended for the use of the wing. Please note that the level of beginner means that the pilot is in a course with a school or the pilot makes only a few flights a year. Flyght weight <80kg Level Beginner 80 à 100 Beginner to intermediate 120>100 Intermediate+ The Aska One Seven has been tested under load according to the EN standards. Check the website to know the maximum total flyght weight.
6 Technical characteristics Use of trim Flat area : 17 m² Cells : 30 Aspect ratio : 4.6 Bridle height : 5,1m The wing was tested at a speed of 46 km / h hands up to a glide ratio of 7.1, a flight weight of 95kg, with trims open. We got a speed a speed of 53 km / h hands up to a glide ratio of 5.5, a flight weight of 95kg and trims fully used. Description : The trim is the strap that adjusts the angle of the airfoil (angle of attack). Tightening the trim shortens the strap in front of the riser, or the group A. The angle of the wing is made steeper. Release the trim, you lengthen the strap in front of the riser, the wing is then made more docile. Neutral setting of the wing: The wings has its lowest speed (46km / h for a total flight weight of 95 kg), and has its best glide ratio (7.1 no brakes, hands up). The wing will be less aggressive, and more dampened. On the Aska wings, this setting is the neutral setting. Full trim setting: The speed is increased (54km / h approx for a total flight weight of 95 kg) and the glide ratio is decreased (5.5 no brakes, hands up). This setting facilitates the use of the wing in strong wind and also to make it descent quicker. Note, however, a trimmed wing is more sensitive to closure. It is important to know your wing well before you use the full trim. Warning If you are not comfortable with setting the trim, leave the neutral position, trim totally released. When you operate the trim, be careful that the length of both straps is symmetrical to avoid asymmetry in the behavior of the wing. Brake adjustment ASKA wings come with practical brake handles. You can take the brakes directly, or you can go with your hands from the inside to the outside and take the piloting ball. This will make the steering of your wing more precise and more sensitive. Obviously, the size of the handle is a significant lengthening of the brakes. Half brakes,
7 deep brakes and stall point is different depending if you hold the piloting ball, or hold the handles directly If the brakes do not seem short enough, before shortening the brakes, try to fly only with the handles, if you normally fly with the piloting balls. It is possible to shorten the brakes. However, there is a change of the wing behavior of the wing and can lead to safety problems. Having the brakes too short will make the stall point closer. A asymmetry may cause of the wing tend to deviate from its course. The brake settings have been done by our test pilots, changing them is not recommended. 4. Regular monitoring, care and maintenance Monitor your wing, maintenance book of the wing At the end of this guide you will find a maintenance log. It is to be completed by yourself or by a professional, each check or maintenance needs to be logged. It is used to trace the maintenance history of your wing. Fill it out correctly, you will prove that you have made the checks regularly. It will be an asset if you want to sell your wing later. Checkup Your Aska wing should be reviewed every 60 flight hours or yearly, by a certified company In addition, if the wing had a rough landing on the Leading Edge or your land on a tree, or another type of incident that could prematurely damage the wing, or even in case of doubt, it is necessary to check your wing. This will allow you both to reassure in the state of it and prevent the risks of premature wear of the wing. Warning, these checks do not replace the pre-flight checks (pre-flight check, harness not inside out, brakes run freely, no knots in the lines, general state of the wing, check if you links are properly closed), you need to check this each time before a flight. Taking proper care of your wing A number of factors can accelerate the wear on the wing, reducing its life and increasing the risk of failure of the material. Here is a list of recommendations to follow, if you want to maximize the life of the wing: - Never leave your wet wing in the bag after a flight: wet fabric ages prematurely and loses its rigidity. Always dry the wing properly. - Some departures may be covered with rocks that have sharp edges. If a line gets stuck, try to loosen it without force. Check the line afterwards; it could become a weak pint in the line. - Respect as much as possible the hard mylar profiles in the wing when packing or being stored for a longer time. It should be folded like an "accordion" by aligning and the mylar
8 profiles. If you do otherwise the inflation of the wing could be degraded.. - Avoid leaving the wing in the sun when not needed: UV rays are the main cause of aging fabric and lines. - Avoid contact of chemicals with the wing, which can cause damage. Clean clean your wing with fresh water. Repairs Small hole in the wing If there is a hole less than 5mm in size and depending by location of the hole, you can use a patch sticker to stick on both sides of the damaged panel. In any case, if you are in doubt, contact us or ask a professional to make repairs. Damaged lines A damaged line, faulty, or broken will have to be replaced automatically. Never fly your wing when the lines are damaged. For this type of operation, ask a professional. If a line is broken it can cause problems in flight which cannot be foreseen. 5. Specifications Material Torn seam or rib For this type of maintenance, ask a professional to repair the wing. In any case, if you have any doubt, contact us or ask a professional to make repairs.
