Main brake
The DOBERMANN 2’s high-speed tip is a simple and effective tool. It is
a single line from the riser to a critical point of the wingtip. This critical
location ensures that, when using the high-speed tip, creases will not
appear and the trailing edge or the reflex is not engaged, which might
compromise the safety and performance of the wing.
With this new high-speed tip, the pilot is able to round a pylon at speeds
up to 60 km/h (without spinning).
The DOBERMANN 2 is delivered with the factory set brake and high-
speed tip as standard. The pilot can adjust the brake travel as required.
Instructions for use: the main brake acts and handles like any brake.
When the pilot decides to use the high speed tip they must move the
main brake from the neutral position (without the brake pulled) and
make a HORIZONTAL movement to the opposite direction of rotation. In
this way the profile does not lose its effectiveness and the turn is more
inclined.
Thanks to the Double Steering System a single command allows the
pilot to expand the possibilities of turning without losing control over the
brakes.
Brakes: vertical movements.
High-speed tip: horizontal movements.
The amplitude of these movements is at the discretion of the pilot.
Depending on the requirements of the pilot, it is also possible to have a
more precise adjustment of the length of the brake and high-speed tip.
The correct use of the high-speed tip in conjunction with the DES (turn
and acceleration) must be practised by the pilot until they have fully
mastered these controls. This experience is needed in many manoeuvres
the pilot wants to perform but it requires a lot of practise and a good
glider control skills.
PLEASE NOTE!
It is possible to use the high-speed tip during acceleration.
We recommend NOT using the brakes during acceleration.
To become familiar with manoeuvres described below, we recommend
practising within the environment of a competent training outfit.
Asymmetrical collapse
In spite of the DOBERMANN 2’s profile stability, strong turbulent air
may cause the wing to collapse asymmetrically if the pilot is unable to
predict the glider’s reactions in specific circumstances. When the wing is
