Risers
The A- and B-risers have different colors to ensure positive identification at take off and during
a B-stall decent. Other adjustable, removable or variable mechanisms are nonexistent.
Speed system
The U-Turn BLACKOUT PLUS is equipped with a very effective foot actuated speed system.
When applied, it increases the speed up to approx. 13 km/h depending on the wing size, pilot
weight and surface loading respectively. Consequently, it shouldn’t be activated in extreme flight
conditions or deactivated as soon as such occurs. All extreme flight attitudes (e.g. collapses)
happen more dynamically at higher speed.
Since the maximum acceleration distance refers to the safety behavior of the wing, it may hap-
pen for some harnesses to not be able to use the full acceleration distance!
The speed system needs to be adjusted before the first flight. Therefore the connection lines of
the foot extensor are being connected through the Brummel hooks with the speed system on
the riser. To be able to undertake the right adjustment the harness should be hung up so you
can sit in flying position. The attached risers are best held up by someone else. It should be
adjusted in a way so that the pulleys are on top of each other and you have your legs stretched
out. And you are also responsible to watch out that the speed system is adjusted symmetrically
and not too short so the glider is not pre-accelerated in the flight.
Trimmer
The BLACKOUT PLUS has been optimized in consideration of the new
Twisted-Tricks. For the preservation of its outstanding properties with
crossed straps, the Trimm has been specifically enhanced. In order
not to create any additional friction, the straps have been kept clean,
without the use of Trimmer. This is what makes the BLACKOUT PLUS
the first choice when it comes to practicing new tricks.
