BALLAST OPTION
For higher wind conditions on the slope, you may want to add
some ballast weight for better penetration. The Weasel-TREK
features a ballast compartment behind the finger launching hole
on the glider's underside. This compartment fits up to 10 pieces,
or 50 grams of our Steel Balance Weight (
Part DFAA002).
As shown, stick 10 pieces of 5g steel weight together to create a
50g ballast slug. Wrap the ballast slug with enough painter's
tape to create a snug fit, and create a small pull-tab as shown
for easy removal. Ballast weight is simply press-fit into place and
secured using a strip of tape applied across the ballast
compartment opening as shown.
►
HOT TIP: We recommend adding ballast only when the wind
exceeds speeds of 8 m/s (18 mph).
