This note 2021-07-21 affects all gnuA models, all sizes and versions.
After doing some tests with the gnuA5 15 m2 and gnuA4 27 m2 prototypes, it was seen that the initial project setting is too back (31%).
To temporarily solve this,
it is necessary to use special risers in a normally accelerated
position, shortening them in the measures indicated in cm below

LAB NOTE: Build
a paraglider at home is a
very complicated task (even simple
skin), and requires many
hours of work. Previous experience is required, and very inventive.
As always remember that:
The free flight implies risks
that can only be known and they can be controled with a suitable formation on the part of a recognized school.
Not test wings without knowing their functioning. The
construction and test of experimental wings without certifying requires
deep knowledge of what is being made.
