Designer’s thoughts
“At this level, the one overriding concern is “can I win top-level
comps on this wing?” Only when I was certain that the answer
to this question was “yes” did we go for certication. But we
also wanted to make a competition glider that was a joy to y,
and we have succeeded. It is obviously not for everyone, but
in the right hands this is quite probably the greates paraglider
ever to have gone into mass production.”

Who is this glider
for?
The Gambit is a CCC class wing designed for
advanced pilots. The stability at top speed,
and the glide ratio, makes it the perfect wing
for world-class pilots with the goal to win big
events.
The pilot of this wing should be comfortable
with the advanced active ying techniques
of controlling a glider in active air, naturally
preventing pitch or roll movements. As with any
glider, we recommend constantly improving
your basic and advanced ying skills.
9
Pilot prole
The Gambit is built for top-level competition
pilots who fly several big competitions every year.
10
Assembly
Before you rush to the rst take-off we recommend you take your
time to unpack and test your equipment on a training slope. In
this way you will have time and will not be distracted or rushed
to prepare your equipment, and you will be able to do your rst
pre-ight check properly.
The place should be at, free of obstacles, and with light wind.
This will enable you to nicely inate the wing and also familiarize
yourself with it while ground handling. Every glider has to be
checked by a Triple Seven dealer, however, as a pilot you want to
do a proper pre-ight check yourself.
First, prepare and spread out the glider like you would normally
do. While you are spreading out and walk along the glider, observe
the fabric material for any abnormalities. When you are done with
the inspection of the canopy, grab the risers and spread the lines,
check if the risers and maillons (carabiners) are properly closed.
Identify and disentangle the A1, A2, B risers
and the lines including the brake lines. Connect the risers’ main
attachment points correctly to the harness, watch for any twists
and make sure that the main carabiners are properly closed.
Harness
The Gambit has passed CCC certication testing using a GH ABS type harness. This certication allows the Gambit to be own
with most of the harnesses on the market, but keep in mind that
changing the harness greatly inuences the feeling of the glider,
depending on the effectiveness of the harness weight shift. Always
check whether your harness is of the proper type.
The length of the harness chest strap affects the distance between
the main carabiners and the wing’s handling as well as your stability
in the harness. Tightening the chest strap increases your stability,
but greatly increases the risk of twisting after a collapse. A tight
setting also increases the tendency to maintain a deep spiral. As a
rule of thumb, a more opened chest strap gives you more feedback
from the glider, which is good for your climbing efciency and
increases safety in a ying incident. But we strongly recommend
adjusting the length of the harness chest strap according to the
lengths used during certication. This setting varies according to
the harness size from 42cm to 50cm.
Check the settings used during testing under the certication
specimen section. We recommend that your rst ight with the
Gambit is not also with a new harness. A rule of thumb is, if you
want to experience the feeling of new equipment, change only
one part of equipment at a time.
Weight range
Each size of the Gambit is certied for its own weight range.
This total weight includes the weight of the pilot and complete
paragliding equipment, together with the glider, harness,
all accessories and optional ballast. Every glider changes its
characteristics by changing the take-off weight. We recommend
that you always y your glider in the specied weight range.
To measure your take-off weight, step on a scale with all your
equipment packed in the rucksack.
11
Lower half of the weight range
Flying the Gambit, as any other glider, in the lower part of the
weight range, causes the agility of the glider to decrease, and
when ying through turbulence its tendency for collapses increases
relatively compared to ying it in the upper wing loading range.
However, reactions after a collapse are less dynamic and sink
rate improves. Therefore, if you mainly y in weak conditions, you
might prefer this weight range.
Upper half of the weight range
Again, as with any other glider, ying the Gambit in the upper part
of the weight range increases the stability and agility of the glider.
Consequently, there is a slight increase in the glider’s speed and
also gliding performance, especially when ying against the wind.
If you normally y in stronger conditions and you prefer relatively
more dynamic ying characteristics, you should set the take-off
weight in the higher weight range. Reactions after a collapse may
be more dynamic in the upper half of the weight range.
Wing ination
Still being on the training slope and having prepared and checked
everything, inate your wing and play with it to get a feel of your
new glider while ground handling. By doing this you are making a
nal check of the canopy and lines, and that everything is in order.
You will nd that the Gambit inates very easily and smoothly
without excessive energy and with minimum pressure while moving
forwards. For ination and lifting the glider you may use only the
A1 riser tab. Do not pull on the risers just with your hands, instead
use your whole harness. Your hands should only accompany the
rising movement of the wing. When the wing is above you, apply
correct pressure on the brake lines and the glider will stay above
you.
Modications on the glider
Any modications of the lines or risers’ speed system cause the
loss of the certication, similarly to ying the wing outside the
weight range.
12
Flying the Gambit
First Flight
Now that you have familiarised yourself with your new glider while
ground handling on a training slope, you are ready for your rst
ight. For the rst ight it is recommend that you choose
a familiar ying area and to y your new glider in calm conditions.
Preight check equipment
Before every ight you need to do a pre-ight check and inspection
of other equipment. This procedure may vary, depending on the
instructor, pilot or equipment settings. Some pilots have their
wing always connected to the harness. However you should have
a consistent method of checking and preparing your equipment
and doing your pre-ight check.
1.
After the arrival on take-off, assess the suitability of ying
conditions.
2.
While walking around the canopy preparing and spreading
out the wing, you should at the same time inspect the canopy.
3.
After you check the lines and connect the risers to the harness,
grab the lines and slide them through your ngers as you walk
towards the canopy. In this way you double check that the lines
are not tangled, stuck or damaged. If meanwhile the canopy
moves, walk around and correct it again.
4.
Inspect the harness, reserve, speed system and all connections.
13
Final preight check
1.
Strap into the harness. The leg straps should be the rst to be
connected on the take-off and the last ones to be released
after the ight. Make sure you are strapped in correctly and
wearing a helmet.
2.
Check the risers for twists and that the carabiners are properly
closed. Check if the speed system is not affecting your risers
– accelerating unintentionally.
3.
Check the lines. The A riser lines should be on top, and all
lines untangled. Check that none of the lines are lying over or
below the canopy.
4.
Check the canopy. The glider should be spread out in the
shape of an arch and all cells open.
5.
Check the wind, take-off and airspace. The wind should
be favourable for take-off and the pilot’s level of expertise.
Airspace should be cleared, together with the take-off area.
Ination, control, take-off
The Gambit has easy take-off behavior for its class, and does
not require any additional advice regarding the forward or reverse
launch. Try to divide and practice the take-off procedure in three
steps.
1. Inating and raising the glider
2. Controlling the wing and wing check
3. Accelerating and take-off
It is always advisable to practice and improve proper launching
techniques as this reduces unnecessary additional stress before
the take-off.
14
Wind speeds up to 25 to 30km/h are considered strong and extra
care is required for the ight. If you are launching in strong winds
we recommend the reverse launch technique, with your brakes
in the right hands at all times. Launch the glider with a gentle pull
and then walk towards it if necessary to reduce the relative wind
force. When the glider is above you, gently control the wing and
take off.
Line knots or tangles
If you fail to observe a line knot or you nd yourself ying with a
knot before being able to prevent the unintentional, uncontrolled
take-off, try to stay away from the ground or other pilots by ying
away from the mountain, before taking any corrective action on
the wing. This means that you weight shift and/or counter brake
the opposite side of the wing and control the ying direction with
the least amount of force needed for the wing to y straight away
from the mountain. Be careful not to apply too much brake or
to y too slowly to avoid a stall or spin. When you are at a safe
distance away from the mountain and you have gained relative
height by ying away, you may want to gently and briey pull the
lines that are tangled with the knot. If the knot is on the brake lines
you might want to gently and briey “pump” the appropriate brake
line. Please note that by pulling the lines, the knot may get stuck
in a worse position and the situation may escalate also to a stall
or spin. Therefore, if you estimate that you can control the wing
relatively safely and that the knot is not released by gently and
briey pulling the tangled lines, immediately y to the landing
zone and land safely.
Normal ight, best glide
Without any brake applied and without using the accelerator,
the wing ies at the so called “trim speed“. In calm air this is
theoretically the best glide speed. The best glide speed in real air
depends on the glider’s polar and air mass, vertical and horizontal
speed. We recommend reading more about the theory of the best
glide and McCready theory.
Minimum sink
If you apply brakes on both sides for about 10 -15 cm you will
slow the glider to the theoretical minimum sink speed. But we
do not recommend using this speed even for thermalling, as you
achieve much better climbing and control by letting the glider y
at “trim speed”. With a proper take-off weight you will nd that
the glider has great climb, reactions and agility.
Accelerated ight
We recommend that you avoid accelerated ight near the ground
and to be very careful using the accelerator in turbulent conditions.
Use a soft speed bar, which enables you to accelerate the glider
by using only one leg. To control the direction use weight shift.
To control the pitch change the amount of the speed bar. Do not
use or pull the brakes while using the speed bar. Use the speed
bar progressively when accelerating and instantly release when
you feel a slight loss of tension, pressure or even a collapse. If you
encounter a collapse while using the accelerator, release the speed
bar immediately before taking any other corrective action. Always
keep more distance to the ground when using the speed bar.
Active ying
This is a basic ying technique for any pilot. It implies permanent
control and the correction of pitch and roll movements together
with the prevention of any deations or collapses. In a nutshell this
means ying straight through active or turbulent air, so that the
pilot keeps the glider above their head at all times, compensating
and correcting any unwanted movements of the wing.
Once you feel comfortable ying the Gambit, you can start
practicing using the speed system, which will provide better
performance while gliding against the wind and through a sinking
air mass. The Gambit was designed to be stable through its entire
speed range, but this requires the use of active ying techniques.
Note that any glider becomes less stable while ying accelerated
and that the risk of a collapse is higher in accelerated ight.
Additionally, the reaction of the glider to a collapse in accelerated
ight is more radical in comparison with one which occurs at trim
speed.
Examples:
• While entering a strong thermal, the wing will stay a little bit
behind relative to the pilot. The pilot should let the brakes up
allowing the wing to y faster and to catch up.
•
If the wing surges in front of the pilot, the pilot should counter
brake until the surge is controlled and then release the brakes
to let it y normally.
•
If the pilot feels a loss of tension in the wing or a loss of
pressure on the brakes on one side of the wing, they should
smoothly apply the brake on the side with loss of pressure and/
15
or weight shift to the opposite side until the pressure returns.
After that, again release the brake and/or weight shift to the
neutral position and let the glider y normally.
The key in all cases is to avoid an over-correction and not to
maintain any correction longer than necessary. After each action
let the glider y normally again, to re-establish its required ying
speed. You can train or get a feeling for most of these movements
safely on the ground while ground handling your glider. Good
coordination of your movements and coordination with the wing
on the ground will enable you a quick progression when actively
ying in the air. The next step is to attend SIV courses where you
should also get a better understanding of the full brake range and
the glider’s speeds.
Flying in turbulence
Wing deations can occur in a strong turbulence. The Gambit is
designed and tested within CCC certication rules and needs pilot
input for faster rerecover from deations. To train and understand
all the manoeuvres described, attend SIV trainings.
Cascade events
Many reserve deployments are the result of a cascade of
over-corrections by the pilot. Over-corrections are usually not
problematic because of the input itself or its intensity; but due to
the length of time the pilot continues to over-handle. After every
input you have to allow the wing to re-establish its normal ying
speed. Note that over-corrections are often worse than no input
at all.
Asymmetric deflations
Strong turbulence may cause the wing to collapse asymmetrically.
Before this occurs the brake lines and the feeling of the harness
16
will transmit a loss of pressure to the pilot. This feedback is used
in active piloting to prevent a collapse. Once a collapse has
happened, avoid over-braking your wing’s still-open side. This
is normally enough to maintain your course and give the glider
enough time to recover the collapsed side by itself. To actively
reopen the collapsed side after course stabilization, pull the brake
line on the collapsed side rmly and release it. You can do this
several times with a smooth pumping motion. After the recovery,
release the brake lines for your glider to regain its trim speed. You
must be aware of the fact that asymmetric collapses are much
more radical when ying accelerated. This is due to the difference
in weight and the inertia of the canopy and the pilot hanging below.
Symmetric deflations
Symmetric or frontal deations will normally reopen immediately
by themselves without pilot’s input. The glider will then regain
its airspeed accompanied by a small surge forwards. To actively
control this event, apply both brakes slightly when the collapse
occurs and then instantly release the brakes to let the glider y.
Be prepared to compensate for the glider’s slight surge forward
while returning to normal ying.
Wing tangle, cravat
A cravat may occur after a severe deation or in a cascading
situation, when the wing tip gets caught in the glider’s lines. A pilot
should be familiar with the procedure of handling this situation with
any glider. If a cravat occurs, the rst thing to do is to try to keep
the glider ying on a straight course. Do this by weight shifting
and counter braking the open side. If normal corrective action
is not effective, a brief full stall will generally solve the problem,
provided you have sufcient altitude.
If you are in a situation where you have a cravat and you are low,
in rotation or even with twisted risers, then the only solution is
the reserve parachute.
Negative spin
In normal ight you are far from negative spin. But, certain
circumstances may lead to it. Should this occur, just release the
brake lines progressively and let the wing regain its ying speed.
Be prepared for the glider to surge forward, compensating the
surge with brake input if necessary.
Full stall
A full stall does not occur unintentionally – it happens if you pull
both brakes for 100% and hold them. The wing then performs a
so called full stall. Releasing the brakes improperly
may lead to massive surge of the glider with danger of falling into
the canopy. This is a complex manoeuvre and as such outside the
scope of this manual. You should practice and learn this
manoeuvre only on a SIV course under professional supervision.
Deep stall
Generally when in deep stall, the wing has no forward motion and
at the same time high sink speed. When in deep stall the wing is
almost fully inated. With the Gambit it is very unlikely to get into
this situation unintentionally. This could possibly happen if you
are ying at a very low speed in turbulent conditions. Also the
porosity of the material and line stretch on a very old glider can
increase the possibility of the deep stall tendency. If you trained
this manoeuvre on a SIV course you would realize that it is very
hard to keep the Gambit in deep stall. If you apply the brakes a
little bit too much you enter the full stall. If you release the brakes
just a little bit too much the wing returns to normal ight. If you
want to practice the deep stall on SIV courses, you need to master
the full stall rst.
Fast decent techniques
Spiral dive
The spiral dive is the only effective way to lose altitude quickly. It
should be done in combination with a small drogue chute attached
to one main karabiner, and should only be trained gradually and
always at high altitude. The spiral dive should be practiced and
learned on a SIV course under professional supervision. To enter
the spiral, deploy the drogue chute, weight shift to the desired
side and gradually apply the brake on the same side. Then let the
wing accelerate for two turns and you will enter the spiral dive.
While in the spiral, you can control your descent rate and bank
angle by applying more or less inner brake. Depending on how
steep the spiral is you may need to use also outer brake. To exit
the spiral dive we recommend that the pilot is in the neutral weight
shift position. If you release the inner brake, the wing exits the
spiral dive by itself.
17
Winch launch
Landing
The Gambit is easy to launch using a winch and has no special
characteristics considering this kind of launching. To practice this
launching technique special training is needed and you have to
be aware of the procedures and dangers, which are specic for
winching. We do not recommend using any special towing device
which accelerates the glider during the winch launch.
Aerobatics
The Gambit was not designed for aerobatics, therefore, these may
not be performed and shoud be avoided, also increased stress
will have inuence in logh term glider prerformance on this glider.
In addition to this, any extreme manoeuvres place unnecessary
stress on the glider and shorten its lifespan.
Primary controls failure
If for any reason you cannot use the brake lines, you have to pilot
the wing to the landing place by using the B risers and weight
shift. Weight shift should be enough to safely land the glider.
Be careful not to over-handle the glider when using the B riser
technique when steering. By pulling the B risers too far you may
cause a stall or a spin.
Land your glider at trim speed without using the B risers, to avoid
over-handling the glider low above ground. We recommend using
weight shift.
Similarly to the take-off, the Gambit landing characteristics are
easy. In turbulent conditions it is advisable to apply about 15% of
brakes, to increase stability and the feeling of the glider.
Before landing, adopt the standing position as this is the most
effective and the safest way to compensate the touch down with
your legs. Always look for possible landing alternatives downwind.

Packing instructions
Maintenance
General advice
Careful maintenance of your glider and the following simple
guidelines will ensure a much longer airworthiness and performance
of your wing:
•
Pack your glider after you land and do not unnecessarily
expose it to UV radiation by leaving it on the landing site
unpacked. The sun’s UV radiation degrades the cloth and
lines material.
•
Fold your glider like recommended under the section “Packing
instructions”.
• If the glider is damp or wet when you pack it, partially unfold
it at home to allow it to dry. Do not dry it in direct sunlight.
•
Avoid exposing the glider to violent shocks, such as the leading
edge hitting the ground.
•
Avoid dragging the glider on the ground or through rocky
terrain as you might damage the lines or canopy.
• Avoid stepping on the lines or canopy, especially when they
are lying on a hard surface.
•
Avoid exposing the glider to salt water, as it damages the lines
and the canopy material (wash with fresh water).
• Avoid bending your lines, especially in a small radius.
•
Avoid opening your glider in strong winds without rst
untangling the lines.
•
In general, avoid exposing your glider to very hot or humid
environments, UV radiation or chemicals.
It is important to correctly pack your glider as this prolongs its
lifespan. We recommend that you fold the glider like a harmonica,
neatly aligning the cell walls with the leading edge reinforcements
side by side. The wing should then be folded in two parts or one
folds. The wing should be packed as loosely as possible. While
packing, be careful not to trap any grasshoppers inside your
canopy as they will tear the canopy cloth. Adhering to these
simple rules will make your glider last longer and ensure its best
performance.
Storage
Correctly packed, store your glider in a dry place at room
temperature. The glider should not be stored damp, wet, sandy,
salty or with objects inside the cells of the glider. Keep your
equipment away from any chemicals.
Cleaning
If necessary always clean your glider with fresh water and a cloth
only, without using any cleaning chemicals. This applies to both
lines and canopy. More importantly, always remove any stones or
sand from the canopy as they will gradually damage the material
and reduce the glider’s lifespan.
Repair
To repair small damages (less than 5cm) on the canopy cloth,
you can use rip stop tape. Greater damages, including stitches
19
and lines, must be repaired by a specialized repair shop. When
replacing a line it should always be compared with the counterpart
for adjusting the appropriate length. After the line was repaired,
the wing should be inated before ying, to ensure that everything
was done correctly. Major repairs, such as replacing panels, should
only be carried out by a Triple Seven distributor or Triple Seven. If
you are unsure about the damage or in any doubt please contact
Triple Seven.
Checks and control
To ensure the wing’s airworthiness the Gambit has to be periodically
serviced and checked to guarantee that the glider continues to
full the EN certication results and to extend your glider’s
lifespan. We recommend a line check and trim inspection every
100 hours or 12 months depending what happens rst. After that,
the glider needs to be fully checked after 150 hours or 24
months of usage, whichever comes earlier. This inspection includes
checGambit the suspension lines, line geometry, riser geometry
and the permeability of the canopy material. A certied inspector
can
then dene the check interval depending on the glider’s condition.
Please note that the condition of the glider can vary considerably
depending on the type of usage and environment. Salty coastal
air or dunes will considerably affect your wing’s material. For
more information please visit our website.
