DAVINCI GLIDERS /FUNKY2

Congratulations!

Thank you for choosing the FUNKY2.

The FUNKY2 has been designed for who are willing to progress in

the sport safely, chasing their rst XC ights but who are also com-

fortable with the technical control of this type of glider.

The FUNKY2 is an easy and fun paraglider with excellent glide and

a very ecient speed system designed as a high performance EN-B

class glider.

FUNKY2 was developed through a special prole design that

maximizes glide ratio and safety through simulation com-

pared to previous models. In addition, despite having a larg-

er number of cells and a high AR design factor, it has achieved

a weight reduction of 200-400g for each size, which will serve

as a powerful weapon for pilots pursuing advanced ight.

The noticeably improved thermal climbing, handling, and stable

acceleration will make you not regret your choice.

This manual will help you to get all information about your

glider. We strongly recommend that you read this manual

carefully in order to be aware of any general limitations,

performance characteristics, take o and ight character-

istics, landing procedures, dealing with emergency situa-

tions and general maintenance.

This is information about the design of the FUNKY2, advice how

to use it best and how to care for it to ensure it has a long life, We

hope that the FUNKY2 will give you a lot of satisfactory ying times.

WARNING!

THIS IS NOT TRAINING MANUAL. ATTEMPTING TO FLY THIS

OR ANY OTHER PARAGLIDER WITHOUT PROPER INSTRUC-

TION FROM A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTOR IS

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO YOURSELF AND BYSTANDERS.

DAVINCI GLIDERS are carefully manufactured and inspect-

ed at the factory. Please use the glider only as described in

this manual.

Do not make any modications to the glider.

As with any sport – without taking the necessary safety pre-

cautions, paragliding can be dangerous.

Congratulations!

3. Introduction and Pilot Target

The FUNKY2 has been designed for who are willing to progress in the sport safely, chasing their rst XC

ights but who are also comfortable with the technical control of this type of glider.

The FUNKY2 is an easy and fun paraglider with excellent glide and a very ecient speed system designed

as a high performance EN-B class glider. Long brake travel and excellent passive safety, as well as the good

stability make the good ideal for progression. The FUNKY2 is an easy and fun paraglider with excellent glide

and a very ecient speed system designed as a high performance EN B class glider.

-LTF and EN certication

The FUNKY2 is certied during ocial testing as LTF /EN-B.

The glider has been type-tested for“one-seated” use only.

-For the FUNKY2 it has minimum of 65cm symmetrical travel length at maximum total-load.

It would be dangerous to use the brake travel according to those numbers, because it is

not practicable to measure the brake travel during ight, and in turbulences the stall might

occur with less brake travel. If you want to use the whole brake travel of your glider safely, it

is necessary to do many intended spins and full stalls to get a feeling for the stall behaviour.

The FUNKY2 does not have the trimmer system.

4. Harness

The FUNKY2 is certied for harnesses in Group GH(without rigid cross-bracing). The suspensiion points

of the chosen harness should ideally have a caraviner distance of approximately 43cm and a height of

46cm(FUNKY2 XS 44cm).

DAVINCI GLIDERS /FUNKY2

6. Lines

7. Accelerator system

They come in dierent diameters of Kevlar and Dyneema with sheathed cover. They must to be

inspected every 100 hours or 12months maximum.

In case of Brake lines, it was cut a little longer, so every pilot can adjust it according to his

personal taste.

But you must always leave 10cm before the brakes line starts acting in order to avoid trailing

edge deformation when the wing is fully accelerated. In case the brake handle comes loose

during ight or any brake lines is cut you can use the C riser softly for directional control instead

of brake line.

The accelerator has being limited in travel up to a safety point, however you can gain 8-12 km

of extra speed.

You have to adjust the harness to the speed system so you can use all the speed travel.

To do so you have to be seated in the ground meanwhile you are in your harness and adjust

the lines by pulling up the risers with tension. Another person help to do this is recommended.

Make sure also that the speed bar is not pulling down the risers when you are not using it.

Once all the gear is rigged you have to test the whole speed travel in calm air. The use of the

speed system reduces the angle of attack and the canopy may be more sensitive to collapses

therefore do not use near the ground or in turbulent air and in case you are hit by turbulence

remove your feet o the speed bar as quickly as possible. Always far away from the ground

when using the speed bar.

5. Risers

FUNKY2 has 3 risers. The A riser has a red cover to easy identica-

tion. There is another line with red mailon. There is A’ and is for the

big ears.

The Dierence of riser length should be no more than ±5 mm

8. Pre-ight check

9. Take-0

To know yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inations and ground handling in

advance. You should have no diculties ying the FUNKY2 for the rst time in suitable conditions, but as

with all new equipment.

When you have the new glider, the below points should be inspected.

- Check the lines are clear and not twisted.

- Connection points between the glider and harness.

- All harness buckles are closed.

- The Karabiners are fully closed and not damaged.

- The sewing, condition of the lines and connection of the lines are right

- Internal demage to ribs and diagonal ribs.

- Demage to the top and bottom panels and seams between panels.

FUNKY2 has easy ination behaviour at the forward/reverse launch because of its prole system.

To get the right wing shape for the take-o, pull the brake until the canopy shows at the perfect

banana shape on the at ground. While inating the FUNKY2, you should hold both of th A risers

on your hands. Smoothly and gradually inate the wing. It does not need excessive energy and

you feel the lift force very fast. It does not tend to over-shooting characteristics and provides a

9.1 Tow launch

The FUNKY2 is easy to launch using a winch and it has no any special skills. To practice

this launching technique special training is needed and you have to know the

procedures and dangers, which are specic for winching. We do not recommend using

any special towing device which accelerates the glider during the winch launch.

11.2 Frontal collapse

FUNKY2 does not come out the symmetrical front collapse by itself. It has high internal

pressure with its well designed prole. However a symmetric collapse my occur in

strong turbulent condition, but It could be fast recovered, if you apply the brake down

to 15 to 20cm. Release the brake lines, you may recover to the normal ight.

10. In ight characteristics

11. Deations

11.1 Asymmetric collapse

Asymmetric collapse usually happens when the pilot has not foreseen this

possible reaction of the wing.

Asymmetric collapses should be controlled by weight shifting away from

the collapse and applying enough brake to control your direction. And you

should use the brake to re-inate the glider.

FUNKY2 has the best stable glide performance in a normal position with no any brakes. In strong thermals

and turbulence, we recommend to gently pull both brakes without acceleration to increase stability. The

brakes provide feedback about the surrounding air, which is needed for active ying.

To familiarize yourself with the FUNKY2 your rst turns should be gradual and progressive.To make ecient

and coordinated turns with the FUNKY2 rst look in the direction you want to go and check that the airspace

is clear. Your rst input for directional change should be weight-shift, followed by the smooth application of

the brake until the desired bank angle is achieved. To regulate the speed and radius of the turn, coordinate

your weight shift and use the outer brake.

In the unlikely event that a brake line releases from the brake handle or breaks, the glider is

manoeuvrable using the C-risers. By pulling gently on the C-risers it is possible to steer the

glider and land safely.

Alternative Steering:

In the unlikely event, that a brake line releases from the brake handle, or breaks, or the brake-

lines are tangled up, the glider is manoeuvrable using the rear-risers. By pulling gently on the

rear-risers, it is possible to steer the glider and land safely. Don’t pull the rear-risers too much,

to avoid a deep stall!

In spite of the FUNKY2 has great stability of the ight, strong turbulence or piloting error may cause a

portion of the wing suddenly to be a deation.

DAVINCI GLIDERS /FUNKY2

11.5 Asymmetrical stall

11.6 B stall

It can take place when you pull one of the brakes too hard, or while spiraling

at a small speed in turbulence you increase the angle of attack. Rotation in the

asymmetrical stall is called negative spiral. This is one of the most dangerous

ying situations. In order to get out of asymmetrical stall, just release the

brakes. There may follow side thrust forward with a following wing collapse.

The FUNKY2 has a very clean stable B stall. To enter the B stall, the pilot has to pull the

rst 20cm slowly until the r glider loses forward speed and starts to descend at around

6 m/s vertically. Do not release the brake handles during B stall. If you pull too much

B-line the glider may horseshoe and move around a lot. If this happens, release the B

risers.

To exit the B-stall the B-risers should be released symmetrically and in one

smooth, progressive motion. The glider will resume normal forward ight

without further input. Check you have forward ight again before using the

brakes.

11.4 Deep stall

11.3 Full stall

It is possible for gliders to enter a state of deep stall. This can be caused by

several situations including; a very slow release from a B-line stall; ying the

glider when wet; very old glider; or after a front/symmetric deation.

When you meet this situation you should fully raise up the both brakes and

push the A-risers forwards or use the speed bar symmetrically to regain

normal ight.

Full stall can occur when you fully pull the both brakes enough long time. This

means that the wing loses its forward momentum. To recover to the normal

ight you must release both brakes. After this usually comes a front dive

with a possible front deation. An asymmetric recovery (one control released

faster than the other) from a full-stall can cause a big dynamic collapse. The

full-stall is a hazardous manoeuvre and as such outside the scope of this

manual. You should practice and learn this manoeuvre only on a SIV course

under professional instructor.
