Making it too short increases the risk of
twists.

Adjusting the speed bag
The speed bag is made from a very
light windproof and water-repellent
soft shell fabric. The automatic closing
system
for
the
speed
bag
demonstrates an innovative geometry,
which makes it easier for the pilot to
get his/her legs into the speed bag
after take-off. The speed bag length
can be adjusted using two small
buckles that are located on either side
of the speed bag above the heels. We
recommend that they are set evenly.

Speed system
The CONNECT RACE LITE is delivered
with a two-phase speed bar. The
length of the speed bar should be
adjusted only when the optimum
seating position has been determined.
To adjust the system correctly, either
use a simulator and hook into the
risers, or sit on the ground in the
harness and get someone to help by
supporting the risers. You will then be
able to adjust the length of the speed
system.
If the speed bar adjustment is too
short, it may cause the glider to be
permanently pre-accelerated. It is safer
to start off with the speed bar a little
too long and then progressively
shorten it during subsequent flights.
Bear in mind that any adjustment
needs to be made symmetrically on
both sides. Avoid using rigid speed
bars, as they could damage the speed
bag. The speed bar is attached using
two elastic cords and simple knots to
the footrest, which keeps the speed
bar stretched out and ready for use.
