ergonomics of the wing and makes all the
different
manoeuvres
(b-line
stalls,
BigEars) more accessible to every size of
pilots, from the smallest to the tallest.
The speed system is optimised along the
same lines.
We use a very similar riser design for our
competition wings. They allow for very
high top speeds with low sink values and
give impressive stability at high speeds.
Once activated the speed system pulls
simultaneously on the A's and B's. This
maintains the angle of incidence around
the leading edge and causes only minimal
influence to the collapse resistance
properties of the wing.
Top speed is reached when the top pulley
touches the bottom pulley of the speed
system, down near the karabiner.
The plastic ball (tie bal, see Illustration 2l)
on the accelerator allows the accelerator
to change from 2- times transmission to 1-
time transmission. When you start to push
the accelerator, in the beginning only half
power is necessary to activate the
accelerator. When the plastic ball reaches
the bottom pulley, this pulley is blocked
and the necessary travel of the accelerator
is cut in half. This mechanism lightens to
push the accelerator with angled legs
(please
refer
to
the
harness
and
accelerator section in this manual)
There
are
no
more
adjustable,
displaceable or variable devices.
