6. Care, Maintenance and Repairs

The materials used in the YAK have been carefully selected for maximum durability.

Nevertheless, following the guidelines below will help keep your glider airworthy and will

ensure a long period of continuous safe operation. Excessive wear is caused by careless ground

handling and packing, unnecessary exposure to UV light, chemicals, heat and moisture.

Ground handling

Be careful of the following:

Violent shocks to the upper surface (e.g. when the canopy crashes to the ground leading

edge first whilst ground handling).

Dragging the glider along the ground.

Dyneema, the core material of the lines, is very strong and can take high loads without

stretching, but it is sensitive to heat.

Opening your wing in strong winds without first untangling the lines.

UV damage

Avoid leaving the glider out in the sun unnecessarily. UV rays from the sun degrade glider cloth.

Packing instructions

We advise you to pack the glider “accordion wise” as shown in the drawing. This packing

procedure takes slightly longer and is easier to do with an assistant, but it conserves the

rigidity in the profile reinforcements.

Since folding the glider weakens the materials, pack the glider as loosely as possible.
