At maximum speedbar and fully opened trims we strongly recommend
steering with ALC system.
Turns executed in this way will be slightly wider,
but strength needed to initiate the turn will be smaller and there will be no
decrease in speed. It is advised to use the speedsystem with fully or half
opened trimmers.
Using speedbar with closed trims (red area) can lead
to a frontstall.
3.2.3 LANDING
With closed trimmers (red area) Nucleon lands like any other paraglider. The
brake forces, initially low, are growing proportionally through all range, giving
ample warnings before possible stalling. Still you should be careful when
flying very slow, until fully familiar with brake operation.
When landing with trims set fast, above “0” point (blue area) slowing down
can require more space than usual. The paraglider has a lot of kinetic energy
and energy and careless application of brakes may even cause the wing to
climb.
Most pilots get to know the wing relatively fast and quickly gain enough trust
to fly it in stronger conditions than they ever did. Still, you should always be
careful when flying low. Remember that Nucleon flies faster than ordinary
paragliders and sometimes it can be of importance (e.g. when landing on a
slope).
After landing in strong wind the paraglider can be safely put down with B
risers, or with a strong pull on the rear D risers.
3.2.4 WINCHING
Nucleon was not designed for winching. As mentioned before, reflex profile
used has an inherent tendency to increase the angle of attack. While in
normal flight such a disposition makes it safer, it can be dangerous during
winch start. Nevertheless, a lot of successful winches on Nucleon have been
made.Experience shows that it should only be done with trims set at “0” or
above (faster settings - blue areas).
To sum it up: winching can be done, but proper attention must be paid.
3.3 POWERED FLIGHTS
NOTE: Before each start it is necessary to have a thorough check of the
paraglider,harness and power unit.
In powered flight most of the wing characteristics remain as described above
(chapter 3.2). Still there is additional information needed, concerning power
output, proper matching of the wing/engine/propeller etc. Dudek Paragliders
cannot take responsibility for all possible combinations, but if you contact us
we are always ready to help.
