SAFETY NOTE: 

WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE HANDLES IN FLIGHT, STOW THEM ON THE MAGNETS PROVIDED.  BRAKE HANDLES CAN BECOME A 

SAFETY HAZARD IF LEFT LOOSE WHEN THE MOTOR AND PROPELLOR ARE RUNNING. 
 
 
 

The  risers  on  the  Cosmos  Power  have  multiple 
magnetic  brake  storage  locations.  Form  the  factory 
the gliders are shipped ready for use with mid hang 
points  with  the  brakes  captured  on  the  magnet 
nearest to the pulley. 
 
Flying  with  high  hang  points  will  require  the  brake 
lines to be lengthened and the brakes stored on the 
lower magnets. 
 
The  Rear  riser  trimmers  also  have  magnetic  safety 
attachment points, after adjustment store the handle 
securing the excess bridle.
