THE DEFAULT SETTINGS_
The delivered brake line and default setting corresponds to the setting 0-leeway plus 5 cm.
It is recommended to adjust the brake handle to your personal needs after the first flight.
Remember that the brakes should not be set too short, otherwise the glider would fly
continuously braked. These situations would be extremely dangerous for take-off, flight and
landing!
The default setting is in extreme flight situations and when landing sufficient braking
distance available. At the same time, it enables a comfortable arm position for the trim
flight. Under no circumstances should the basic setting of the A, B and C lines be changed.
PAY ATTENTION_
Please note that the relative braking distance changes with the
height/ length of the harness. When fixing the setting, make sure that both sides are
symmetrical and that a permanent knot is used. The double fisherman’s knot/ spar or pile
stitch has proven particularly effective in that since it weakens the lines the least with
excellent slip resistance.
