Summary

Congratulations!

We are pleased to welcome you among the

growing number of DUDEK

PA AGLIDE S pilots. You’ve become a

proud owner of a sport paraglider,

designed according to recent trends among

paramotor canopies.

Extensive development, application of the

modern production methods and thorough

testing resulted in a friendly behaving

paraglider, oﬀering the pilot a lot of fun

combined with great performance.

We wish you many enjoyable and safe

ﬂying hours.

Please read this manual carefully and

note following details:

• The purpose of this manual is to oﬀer

guidelines to the pilot using the

paraglider. By no means it is intended

to be used as a training manual for

this or any other paraglider.

• You may only ﬂy a paraglider when

qualiﬁed to do so or when undergoing

training at an accredited school.

• Pilots are personally responsible for

their own safety and their paraglider's

airworthiness.

• The use of this paraglider is solely at

the user's own risk! Neither the

manufacturer nor dealer do accept

any liabilities involved.

• This paraglider on delivery meets all

the requirements of the EN 926-1 and

926-2 regulations or has an

airworthiness certiﬁcate issued by the

manufacturer. Any alterations to the

paraglider will render its certiﬁcation

invalid.

• Other documents concerning this

paraglider can be found on attached

pendrive or on our website

www.dudek.eu.

Note: Dudek Paragliders warns that due to

the constant process of development the

actual paraglider may diﬀer slightly from

the one described in the manual. However,

those diﬀerences cannot aﬀect the basic

design parameters: technical data, ﬂight

characteristics or strength. In case of any

doubts contact us please.

Introduction

NEMO

Nemo 5 is a paraglider recommended as

the ﬁrst purchase after initial training,

especially if it was used there, too. For a

long time you will keep discovering its

capabilities, while it will provide you with

safety, good performance and versatility on

various levels of recreational ﬂying. It will

forgive you many mistakes and prepare

you for further development.

What's new?

• A new internal structure, based on 3Y

supports

• increased lateral stability

• less line resistance = better

performance

• new risers with ball-bearing pulleys

The changes in the new version of Nemo

were primarily aimed at improving the load

distribution within the canopy.

By changing the curvature of the wing, we

obtained greater lateral stability, while

maintaining good maneuverability as

compared to other wings in this class.

The main suspension lines in A and B

rows are made of Dyneema, which, due to

its high bending resistance, can be much

thinner compared to Technora. The innate

shrinkage eﬀect of Dyneema has been

minimized by using these lines in the most

heavily loaded rows. Most importantly,

thinner lines result in less drag which

translates into better performance.

Purpose and design

Advanced software, combined with many

years of Piotr Dudek design experience,

allowed to create a wing with excellent

parameters, ideally suited to the needs of

pilots learning to ﬂy and continuing

recreational ﬂying. Nemo 5 is an EN A

class paraglider with a modern design,

good performance and high safety. Its

operation is simple and its control is

pleasant and eﬀective. Moreover, it's

verstile - it's design parameters include

winch start, as well as paramotoring.

The weight ranges were selected so that

the ﬂying schools will ﬁnd it easy to

complete a full set of sizes for their

students.

About the wing

NEMO

The Nemo is produced in new

technology, utilizing capabilities of precise

laser cutter. All stages of the production

process take place as our Polish plant

under closes upervision of the designer

himself thus ensuring highest European

quality.

Careful selection of modern fabrics and

design solutions brings about great

strength and durability of the canopy.

All materials used come fro marked

production batches, and each production

step can be veriﬁed down to identiﬁcation

of individual worker and controller.

Risers design

NEMO

For the Nemo 5 we have chosen three-way

risers equipped with:

• EL (Easy Launch iser) - system. It

is a specially marked A riser (with red

cover)

• speed-system aﬀecting A and B risers

when engaged, featuring ball-beared

pulleys and a dedicated cord.

For quick and easy recognition in

emergency, some of the risers are

distinguished with coloured covers as

follows:

• A - red (used for launching)

• A' – red (used for big ears),

• B - yellow (used for B-stall),

• D - blue (needed to keep the glider

down in strong wind – aborted

launch).

Brake handles

Brake handles are attached to the steering

lines at an optimal point, guaranteeing safe

and eﬀective action.This point is marked on

the line with a black dot and this setting

should not be altered.

Attaching the handles above factory

markings will cause constant braking of the

paraglider, possibly cause of an accident.

Overly loose setting of the brake lines is

not advised too, since the much lower load

on the trailing edge lines can sometimes be

dangerous too.

Addressing diﬀerent needs of our clients

we have created a TCT system - Triple

Comfort Toggle, making it possible to have

your brake handles in rigid, half-rigid or soft

conﬁguration without need to purchase

additional handles.

Operation

It’s pilot responsibility to choose a canopy

matching his skills.

Dudek Paragliders cannot take

responsibility for a wrong choice, but we

are always ready to advise you – just

Weight range

Each size of the canopy is certiﬁed for

speciﬁc weight range, meaning total take-

oﬀ weight including the pilot, harness,

equipment and the canopy itself.

Exceeding maximum take-oﬀ weight

described in technical data of the

paraglider (“Pilot’s weight incl. equipment”)

increases risk of an accident in case of

pilot’s error.The smaller canopy area as

compared to take-oﬀ weight, the greater

the risk.

Paragliders considerably change their

character due to increased load and each

experienced pilot should perfectly

understand that. The biggest danger

induced by overloading the canopy is its

hyperreactivity.

Caution: Check your real take-oﬀ weight!

Some pilots calculate their take-oﬀ weight

by just summing up catalogue numbers,

e.g.: paramotor 29 kg + canopy 6 kg + pilot

87 kg = ca. 120 kg. In fact your actual take-

oﬀ weight can be umpteen kilograms

bigger. Most often we forget the clothing,

electronics, backpacks, sometimes even

such basic things like fuel or rescue chute

weight are omitted!

What harness?

You can use any certiﬁed harness which

has its hangpoints at 40-45 centimeters

from the seatplate.The width between

carabiners should be somewhere between

37 cm and 45 cm.

Caution: Please note that any modiﬁcation

of seat/hang point distance changes the

position of the brakes as related to pilot's

body. You must remember that in each

harness your steering range will be

diﬀerent.

Speed system

Nemo 5 is as standard equipped with a

speed system. It consists of a cord sewn

into the A riser, leading through two pulleys

and ﬁnished with a loop and a hook. His is

where you attach the speedbar cord.

Before ﬁrst use

NEMO

The speed system aﬀects A (including A’)

and B risers. Pressing the speedbar

shortens ﬁrst the A risers, before ﬁrst use

then gradually the A’ i B. C riser retains its

original length.

Caution: Ill-adjusted speed system renders

the certiﬁcation invalid!

How to adjust it?

Most of modern harnesses are equipped

with speed system pulleys and sometimes

even its own integrated speedbar. The

speed bar cord must be ﬁrmly attached to

it.

The other end of the cord must be ran

upward through the harness pulleys and

attached to the hooks.With well adjusted

speed system you should see the pulleys

on the risers touch each other at max

speedbar, meaning you are using the full

range of speed system.

Caution: Make sure that both cords on the

speed bar are equal, as even slight

diﬀerence can result in constant,

inadvertent turning of the paraglider.

Before take-oﬀ attach paraglider risers to

the harness with the main carabiners. Then

connect the hooks of the speed system

cords with hooks at the A-risers.

Caution: Before launching make sure that

the speed system is not tangled and runs

freely.

Other systems

This paraglider has no other systems which

can be adjusted, exchanged or removed.
