Lots of airtime naturally takes a toll on your glider, especially the lines. UP paragliders all use an optimized line mix from Edelrid, Cousin and Liros. To achieve both the longevity and performance targets, a mix of aramid and Dyneema lines in different diameters is used at different levels. Due to stretching or shrinking, which is unavoidable during the lifespan of a paraglider, the overall trim of the wing can change over time. This has a negative effect on performance and safety. For this reason, we recommend having your paraglider checked and trimmed at regular intervals – the check and trim can be carried out by UP itself or at authorized service centers. When trimming, we use our own development called UP-MTS, a hardware and software that allows us to restore your wing to its optimal line configuration in just a few simple steps.
Rule of thumb: Got more than 80 hours of airtime on your wing since the last 2-Year-Check but it's not yet time for the next? Then bridge the time with a Performance Check.
You get a wing that flies as it should again, with:
- Improved handling
- Optimal performance
- Maximum safety
We will normally return your wing within two weeks of receipt, but there may be a slight delay during the high season. We also offer a 3-day express check for an additional fee (The express check must be booked before sending in the wing – please call us to check whether the express check is available).
