Risers are designed to connect the lines system of the paraglider with the pilot’s sus-
pension system.
Tandem AERO MASTER is equipped with risers with trim tabs and several eyelets for
fastening leash levers.
These leashes can be installed in two different positions (but only symmetrically!)
Depending on the preference or composition of the pilot.
Lines are attached to the risers using soft links - strong connecting elements from the
dyneema, which are fixed in the ring by a knot-hammer.
It is necessary to regularly check the correctness of installing and securing soft links
under protective covers on risers.
Trimmers are designed to increase the speed range of the paraglider by reducing and /
or increasing the angle of the wing.
The maximum increase in speed is achieved with fully released trimmers.
Clamped trim tabs reduce the balancing speed with the released control lines.
When taking off from a very steep slope or with a heavy passenger, it is recommended
to tighten the trim tabs a little.
It is recommended to work with trim tabs strictly symmetrically.
