Always check all the flying equipment before every flight.
In spite of providing much more benefits to the pilots, 2 liner gliders need
more care and control of the calibration. The ICEPEAK 8 mechanic and
UV resistance are one of the highest for this type of line. With a 2 liner
glider every little variation on the calibration of the lines has a directly
effect on the performance of the wing.
We recommend checking the lines calibration after the first 30 hours +/- of
flight. This examination must be taken apart from the regular checking
every 100 hours of use or every two years (whichever happens first).
Why is it necessary?
Thanks to the experience acquired with the 2 liner gliders on the previous
seasons and to the incessant control task of our R&D team over the Abac
Team gliders, we are capable now of predicting how to take appropriately
care of this kind of lines to assure the best performance of the profile.
Following the controls recommended the glider will keep its original
features for longer.
The conditions of the flight zone, the climate area, temperature, humidity,
wing load, …cause a different impact over the wing. That’s why the
calibration would be set taking in consideration these factors.
Only qualified professionals should realize it. Do not modify the wing
considering the calibration required for other pilots before being sure that
it is really necessary for us.
