More speed, brakes are heavier, less passive security in case of collapse.
Less speed, brakes are easier, more passive security in case of collapse.
Paratrike wings are generally made with reflex profile (auto stable), the degree of stability
is determined by each paratrike wing model.
This stability helps to get through small turbulences, so you can take better advantage
of wing speed without having to act on the controls.
By following the profile commands and their tightness, without first time, the paratrike
wing has a tendency to advance, then slowing down with the trimmer open, is practically
unnoticeable with the trimmer closed.
In stronger and turbulent flight conditions, closed trimmer flight is recommended to
ensure better control of the paratrike wing.
COMMANDS WITH REFLEX PROFILE
Start
Have the trimmer 2 (cm) open to improve the inflation, the start speed depends on brake
use.
Using the brakes
Without using the brakes:
More stability because of the reflex profile, more speed.
With 10% brakes:
More sustention, less stability, less speed. “CG backs off a little”, profile more unstable
cause the use of the brakes are causing deformation of the canopy.
With 50% brakes:
Used in heavy turbulence for reducing speed, increasing the attack angle to avoid an
eventual collapse. Used during start to decrease speed and to start within reduced
space.
Double command
The Hercules 2 has an auxiliary command, this double command is used to make curves
more open or closed in all conditions of use, regardless of the position of the trimmer.
For more open bends, pull the bungs with your arm stretched
out.
For more closed bends, pull the bung close to the body.
1. Brake lines.
2. Auxiliary brake lines.
Closed turn – Pull one of the commands
downwards close to your body.
Normal turn - Pull one of the commands
vertically downwards.
