Risers
The risers have been specially
developed for the MIURA RS. They are
20 mm wide and divided into 4 straps.
They allow a wide range of use.
In addition, the risers are equipped
with trimmers which allow the pilot to
increase the cruising speed during
powered flights or to counteract the
torque effect.
Trimmer
The trimmer allows the pilot to
increase the cruising speed during
powered flight and to counteract the
engine back torque.
During take-off and landing we
recommend to keep the trimmers
closed at all times.
DANGER
Under no circumstances should the
trimmer loops get caught in the
main carabiners. This would shorten
the D-risers considerably, especially
if the wing is not trimmed.

WARNING
Use the trimmers only during
powered flights.
Do not use the trimmers when flying
through turbulent areas or close to
the ground as the risk of collapsing is
greater.
Do not collapse the glider
symmetrically during a trimmed
flight. This will deepen the profile of
the wing, making it unstable, which
in extreme cases can lead to severe
frontal collapses. During unpowered
flight, lock each trimmer with the
screw shackle.
