Replacing the trimmer webbing
Frequent operation of the trimmers
during flight causes the trimmer
webbing to wear out. It can then
happen that the trimmers open
unintentionally in flight (possibly only
on one side). If this happens
frequently, the trimmer webbing
must be replaced. Please contact your
dealer or SWING directly.
Your Speedbag
Fig. 8.
Speedbag-bags on your SWING
Speed Harness
The speedbag makes it much easier for
you to use the SPITFIRE 3 and is
MANDATORY in most speedriding
sites!
For take-off: take the glider out of the
speedbag, roll up the speedbag and
pack it into the side pocket of your
harness.
After riding: Gather the SPITFIRE 3,
take out the speedbag and lay it open
next to the glider. Place the gathered
paraglider on the unfolded speedbag,
stow the paraglider in the speedbag
and pull the speedbag closed, hook the
speedbag to the harness
When stowing the SPITFIRE 3, always
make sure that all lines and straps are
inside the speedbag and that nothing
is hanging out with which you could
get caught.
After the last run of the day, you can
also fix the risers to the speedbag's
webbing by pulling the webbing
through the riser loops.
