•
Knots on brake lines are secure
After putting on harness check the:
•
Position of reserve (rescue) handle and pins
•
Leg loops and strap are fastened correctly
•
Main karabiners are closed
Before launch check:
•
That the speed-system is connected correctly and runs smoothly through
the pulleys
•
That the Risers are not twisted
•
Place brake handles in the hands and check brake lines are free
•
Your position is in the centre of the wing
•
Wind direction
•
That take-off area is clear
•
That airspace is free from congestion
c. Take-Off
The key to successful launching is to practice ground-handling on flat ground as often as
possible.
The RISE3 inflates easily and steadily using forward or reverse launch techniques. There is no
tendency for the canopy to hang back during inflation. To forward (alpine) launch in light or nil
wind there is no need to pull the risers hard
– as well it’s not needed to accelerate fast . Allow
the glider to stabilize overhead and run positively forward, checking the canopy is fully inflated
and clear of any knots or tangles. Reverse launching is recommended in stronger winds.
The RISE3 has got split A-risers. At the outer A-risers the A3 line is attached which is used for
doing “big - ears”. For Launching it´s possible to take either only the main A-riser or both risers
in hands.
d. Turning Flight
Your will notice the agile handling from the first flight. The RISE3 is easy to turn at any bank
angle, from flat through to steeply banked turns.
Brake pressure is progressive, which enables the pilot to feel the wing and helps prevent
unintentional stalling.
In turbulent air the RISE3 absorbs turbulence very effectively which improves pilot comfort in
flight.
Brake-Shifting
The webbing attachment for the brake-line pulley is intentionally long making it possible to
move the brake handle either to the inside or outside of the riser.
For example: If the glider turns flat, make a steeper or faster turn by moving the inside hand
towards the centre of wing. The glider then speeds up in the turn and the angle of bank
becomes steeper. When doing the opposite
– moving the arms away from the body - the glider
turns flatter and the climb becomes more efficient. We call it “brake - shifting”. Please find more
information at our website or Facebook.
