Then attach clip or quick link on end of speed system cord, to the loop on
the end of the cord which runs through the 2 pulleys sewn on the A risers.
Ensure that the speed system is untangled and runs freely for operation
before flying.
To use the speed system, simply place your feet on the speed bar and push
forward in a horizontal plane. If a loss of backpressure of the bar on your
legs is noticed, this is a warning that the canopy is probably about to
collapse. Release the bar and thus speed system immediately.
With this "feeling" you may actually prevent most tucks from happening while
using the speed system. If a tuck (collapse) does still happen, release speed
system immediately and correct collapse as described in section "Tucks".
When using the speed system, the angle of attack is lowered, thus
airspeed is increasing, and the canopy is destabilising. Therefore do
not use the speed system in turbulent conditions, close to the ground
or near other airspace users!
Do not use the speed system in any extreme manoeuvres! If the
canopy does collapse, release the speed bar immediately and correct
any tucks as normal! Do not release the brake handles!
4. Harness
Any certified harness with a hang point at between 35 cm and 49 cm from a
seat may be used with a Dudek VOX (however the safest distance is 40
cm). The distance between carabiners should be between 37 cm and 45 cm
(however the safest distance is 40 cm).
Please note the hang point position changes the position of the brakes
relative to the pilot's body.
Caution! Too tight cross straps can drastically effect the handling, and
thus may not actually contribute to higher safety. Have them tightened
the correct amount.
