• universal parameters of the
paraglider.
3. Trimmer fully released:
• launch in strong wind conditions,
• more stable flight in turbulent
conditions,
• reducing the risk of being blown back
leeward, eg. when flying in strong
wind conditions, using dynamic lift or
in valleys.
Safety of trimmer flying
Trimmers can positively a ff ect the safety of
flying the Run&Fly 2 by extending its range
of use. Examples of such trimmer
operation:
• Increasing the chances of a
successful start and flight down when
it seems to be a safer option than to
give it up and walk down the
mountain, or stay on top until
conditions improve, eg overnight.
• Increasing the stability of the wing in
flight in turbulent conditions by
completely releasing the trimmer.
• Reducing the risk of ending up on the
lee side, eg. when flying in strong
wind conditions, using dynamic lift or
in valleys.
However, you should be aware that
trimmers may also have a certain negative
impact on the safety of paraglider
operation, especially when it is used
incorrectly, e.g.:
• Take-o ff with the trimmer fully
released in zero wind conditions,
which may result in a dangerous
extending the take-o ff run beyond safe
area.
• Flying in strong winds with the
trimmer fully closed, which may, for
example, increase the risk of being
blown leeward.
• Asymmetric trim setting, which may
cause the paraglider to turn during
flight, surprising the unaware pilot.
During the flight in a trim configuration
other than neutral (middle of the operating
range), the wing's reaction to a collapse
may be more dynamic, especially for a less
experienced pilot, and will require fast pilot
action on the brakes in order to return to
normal flight.
Trimmers are also an additional element
that requires basic technical checks. Flying
with an incorrectly operating trimmer (e.g.
