their movement has been restricted. (Note: it is physically possible
to push the sewn trimmer tape through the buckle in order to
replace it, however in normal operation the trimmer must be pulled
up to the limiter only!)
Always when you are flying at high speed, be it with released
trimmers or with additionally engaged speed system, your steering
inputs must be smooth, with no rapid movements. When
accelerated, the reflex wing canopy is often lacking support of the
rear line rows – they are loose. Rough yanking of steering handle
changes the pressure distribution and trimming of an airfoil. The
airfoil can rapidly increase pitch and aggressive tuck will follow.
Slow trimmer settings decrease sink and steering forces, so it is
possible to efficiently use the thermals.
Study drawings of trimmers and speed-system adjustment and
setting, as well as their influence on the wing shape.
Remember:
< Trimmer setting is another part of the pre-start check list!
< If it will be asymmetric, the wing will be constantly turning.
Caution: Do not engage speed system with closed
trimmers! Such action can cause dangerous deflations! f you
intend to use speed system, release at least 6 cm of the
trimmer.
Speed system
Directly affects the angle of attack and unlike the trimmer does not
alter the airfoil geometry. Using full speedbar in case of the
Universal 1.1 increases speed by ca. 30%. Contrary to most of the
paragliders this is not connected with the stability loss, nevertheless
when considerable turbulence is encountered the speedbar should
be released.
In order to retain stability of the wing, first thing to do is to release
the trimmer so that the alteration of the airoil is decreased or
completely aborted, and only the press the speedbar. If the
trimmers stay closed, speed system will be inclining a modified
airfoil.
Caution: Important: at high speeds all steering inputs
should be smooth and easy, without abrupt actions like
yanking or rough deep pulling the brakes. This can
dynamically disturb the pressure distribution over the
airfoil and therefore its actions.
This warning is valid for any paraglider, the Universal 1.1
is no exemption here!
