INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Aeros Team!
First of all we congratulate you on buying your new AEROS Style-3 and wish you many enjoyable and
safe flights.
We produce our paragliders and equipment at our own facilities using materials of the world's best
manufacturers. We carefully check each step of production, from materials supply to packing of the
finished products. This enables us to produce canopies of excellent quality with precise characteristics.
Style-3 was developed as a post school and recreational glider – a wing with easy handling and high in-
flight stability. It is ideal for school graduates and for pilots flying for fun and looking for maximum safety
combined with performance sufficient for XC flights. Style-3 took in the style and character of the well-
reputed Style-2 and at the same time it became even more stable and fast.
Please, read this manual carefully before flying your Style-3.
Please, keep this manual. If you give your glider to the next owner, don't forget to hand this manual over,
too.
Fly safely and enjoy every flight!

WARNINGS
Paragliding is an amazing sport but it can be dangerous and is able to lead to an injury or even death.
You as a paraglider user should be aware of all these existing risks. Being a paraglider owner, you
undertake full responsibility for the risks connected with the use of a paraglider. Undue use or usage of
the defective equipment increases the risks. Neither the manufacturer, nor the dealers or distributors can
be held responsible for any damage caused by or to the paraglider. At the time of delivery Aeros Style-3
meets the requirements of EN 926-2. Any alterations to the paraglider will make certification invalid!
In order to be able to do paragliding you should be physically healthy and mentally sane.
You should complete your training course and have your valid paragliding license.
Obtain your flying experience step by step, best of all under the supervision of a more experienced pilot.
Constantly imrove your paragliding skills, practice on the ground as much as you can.
You should have an operable and proper rescue parachute.
Always wear your helmet, gloves and boots.
Make sure that you have performed the due pre-flight inspection. Do not try to fly the equipment that is
either unsuitable or damaged. Pilots are responsible for their own safety and airworthiness of their
paragliders.
Make sure that the weather and aerology allow to fly a paraglider. Do not pass the margins of safety – do
not fly in strong turbulence and winds or in an unsuitable place.
In case of the slightest doubt of any kind do not take off!
Safe decisions will allow you to enjoy paragliding for many years.

WHAT IS YOUR PARAGLIDER DESIGNED FOR
Style-3 is a paraglider designed specially for weekend pilots from post-school level to confident
crosscountry flights. It is perfectly suited for improving your skills received during your training course, for
dynamic flying and certainly for crosscountry flights covering long distances.
Style-3 has successfully continued the line that started with the first Style and the bestseller Style-2.
Keeping up the style, it became even better and speedier. Its success is ensured by the new
technologies, new materials and advanced design. Additional ribs along the trailing edge are used to
improve aerodynamics of the paraglider while flying at high speed. The leading edge reinforcements
ensure clean profile throughout all flight modes. The paraglider utilises new simplified design of the
risers with the “ear” line routed separately.
These as well as other innovations allow the pilot to feel the canopy and fully use the power of both
strong and weak lift.
Style-3 paraglider is suitable for beginners and weekend pilots with over 20 hours logged annually.
WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE?
Your paraglider is supplied with a number of things useful for flying, transportation and storage.
First of all this is a big bag pack capable of accommodating all the equipment you will need for flying.
The back pack is made of durable fabric but at the same time it is really light. Being ergonomically
designed, it distributes the load evenly and thus ensures your comfort while walking with the back pack
on your back.
The wing is packed into a light-weight bag for additional protection and ease of storage. The breather
mesh in the bag makes the packing procedure easier.
When folded your paraglider is strapped with a compression strap, thus making it less voluminous.
There is a separate bright protective bag for the risers, too.
In the back pack pocket for small atricles you will find a double-step speed bar, repair set, paraglider
passport and user manual.
Control lines (brakes)
We think that the brake length should be matched individually.
It is important to make sure that all the control lines to the speed bar had the same length. The control
lines should necessarily pass through the corresponding pulley on the risers. Adjusting the lines, leave
them a bit loose, to avoid deformation of the trailing edge with the controls fully released and the speed
bar pulled down. All adjustments should be done before the flight.

Canopy
The Style-3 has the modified profile that proved to be efficient in the Style-2.
The ribs which suffer the most tension, are made from NCV Porcher Marine hard finish fabric. NCV
Porcher Marine with medium finish is used for the top and bottom panels. Trilam reinforcements of the
ribs provide extra stiffness and stability of the leading edge and help reduce the weight of the paraglider,
thus easing the inflation of the canopy at launch and improving its flight performance. Along the trailing
edge between the main ribs some small ribs are added for better aerodynamics of the paraglider.
Special paraglider design combined with diagonal ribs ensures high stability, quiet conduct at landing,
ease of inflation and excellent controllability.
Lines
Lines with superaramid core and polyester coating showed excellent results during laboratory and flight
tests.
Top stage – diam. 1.2 mm (118 kg)
Middle stage – diam. 1.5 mm (163 kg)
Bottom stage – diam. 1.9 mm (321 kg)
Brake lines top and middle - Dyneema diam. 1,1 mm (128 kg)
Risers and Speedsystem
For easy identification all risers are marked with different colours: A-row is red, B-row is yellow. The lines
are connected to the risers by the quick links – triangular carabiners fitted with a twisted rubber ring
preventing any slipping of the lines on the triangles and fraying through. The carabiners are covered with
a thermoforming tube which prevents occasional unlocking of the quick links.
The thermoforming tube does not ensure 100% security. Control your carabiners before
every flight.
ATTENTION:
9
The speedsystem of Aeros Style-3 is foot-operated.
It changes proportionally the length of A, B and C risers which allows to keep up the wing's shape
at high speed.
