TRIMMERS
The HYBRID TANDEM risers are equipped with trimmers which are
replaceable.
The neutral setting is when the A/B/C risers legs are of equal length
For Take-off and landing, the trimmers should be in the closed
(minimum trim speed) position. After take-off set them to the neutral
position, and close them again before landing. They can also be set
asymmetrically to compensate for torque effect. The Trim System of the
HYBRID TANDEM is very effective for accelerating the wing on long
flights, when staying on bar may not be comfortable. The trim system
differs from previous Apco gliders in that it releases the B riser, which
gives a clean rotation of the profile, and is very efficient.
