The paraglider must be checked after 2 years or a certain number of flying hours. Michaela Michi Brandstätter, owner of "Die Checkerei", explained to me the steps that need to be taken, the things that need special attention and tips and tricks on how to treat your paraglider with care.
XC Track offers a very wide range of functions. I would therefore like to offer tips and tricks for XC Track in this series. I compiled the tips and tricks as part of an internal club seminar, but I have also included some tips from fellow club members.
Two years ago, I explained my XC Track page layouts in more detail. XC Track has evolved and I have also gained new insights since then. I have therefore adapted the settings over time and would like to present my updated settings again here.
