WARNING:
The use of the speed system in turbulent conditions or close to the ground is dangerous.
While flying with the accelerator, the glider has a reduced angle of attack and is therefore
more susceptible to turbulence and may collapse or partially deflate. Gliders react faster
when accelerated and may turn more. The accelerator should immediately be released in
this case.
10 EMERGENCY PARACHUTE ATTACHMENT
It is recommended to use a certified rescue parachute when flying. Attaching the rescue
parachute should be done in accordance with the recommendation of the harness and
reserve parachute manufacturer.
11 RISERS
The KARMA EVO risers is featuring a split A riser. The 1st A-riser attaches to the central
two A lines (A1 & A3). The second A-riser is attached to the outermost A line (A5). This is
to facilitate Big ears or Tip tucks. At no time should the pilot change the risers or use risers
not intended for this specific glider as this will affect the performance and safety of the
glider.
