glide angle) to increase speed, as long as conditions are not too turbulent.
Remember that by application of speed system overall angle of attack
diminishes and the canopy may tuck easier than in normal flight.
The faster is your flight, the more dynamic are tucks and stalls. See "Speed
system" section.
TRIMMERS
Freeway is equipped with short trimmers of 35 mm range, affecting B and C
risers. The idea is to make possible fine-tuning of the paraglider and adjust it to
specific situations.
For example, released trimmers can help at:
NOTE: paraglider will be certified with closed trims only. Behaviour of the wing
and its reactions with opened trimmers will be more dynamic than usual.
Always operate the trims symetrically.
LANDING
The FREEWAY is easy to land. Final leg of the landing approach must bring
you into wind. At approximately 1 meter above ground pilot should flare the
canopy, applying brakes accordingly to conditions.
The glider may even climb again for a while gaining some height, if too much
brake is used.
Strong wind landings hardly requires braking, if any at all! Use C-risers
(coloured grey) to deflate the canopy after landing. Using brakes will probably
result in pilot being lifted and dragged backwards.
Final glide of the landing approach should be straight and smooth.
Steep or alternating turns can result in a dangerous pendulum effect near the
ground.
WINCHING AND MOTOPARAGLIDING
During tests numerous flights were made with winch start and backpack power
units. No contradictions were found for using FREEWAY in such flights.
CAUTION: During start, especially winched or with a motor, always remember
to bring the wing directly over your head. The aerofoil and its angle of attack
were arranged so as to give maximum lift coefficient with relatively high safety.
As a result it can stay behind a pilot, if he neglects bringing it directly over head
during launch.
+
launching in nil wind or slight tailwind (canopy inflates easier and rises
faster)
+
launching in strong wind (you will clear the launch area faster - but take
care, as the wing will rise with more speed and energy)
+
flying against headwind (more speed)
