Speed System
Th e U-Turn THRILLER X3 is equipped with a very eff ective foot actuated speed system.
It increase the speed when applied with to approx. 18km/h, depending upon wing size and
pilot weight or surface loading.
foot actuated speed system
Th erefore it should not be activated in exteme fl ight situations or deactivate immediately
when their occuring. All exteme fl ight attitudes (e.g. a-collapses) happen at accelerated
speed more dynamically. Since the maximum acceleratiion is part of the safety behavior
of the glider, it can happen that with some harnesses the speed bar to full speed cannot be
used.
fast trim standart trim
Th e trims can be adjusted in fl ight. In fast trim the wing is fl ying with maximum speed
(without accelerator use at same time). Th e standard setup is with standard trim setting. In
turbulent conditions we recommend to fl y the THRILLER X3 only in standard setup. For
acrobatic fl ying the trims must be in standard setup. Only in standard trim the wing can
develop its full performance!
