In flight

Speedbar use

As soon as you are airborne, the behaviour is very instinctive and precise.

Please  set  the  distance  between  the  two  carabiners  according  to  the  aerology  and  to  the  wing 
manufacturer’s recommendations. The average distance / spacing for most gliders from the center 
of the right Biner to the center of the left Biner where the risers connect, is between 36 cm and 45 cm. 

We recommend a careful use of the speedbar because of an increased risk of massive collapse. 
Please read carefully the manual of your glider.

Tightening the chest strap provides more stability but less harness piloting efficiency. Doing so, in-
creases the risk of riser twisting. On the contrary, loosening the strap provides more efficiency but 
can be dangerous in turbulent aerology while increasing the risk of falling towards the collapsed 
side of your glider and without being able to efficiently counteract the situation.

Landing

Stand up inside the harness and adopt an upright position in order to run to dissipate horizontal 
speed.

NB  :  Frequents  landings  on  the  Airbag  can  damage  the  fabrics  and  the  sewings  and  may  de-
crease its efficience.

Do not land whilst in the seated position, this is dangerous.
