Trimmer
The trimmer allows the pilot to increase cruising speed in motorised flight and to counter
the torque effect. We recommend that you always have the trimmers closed when launching
or landing.
Use the trimmer only in motorised flight. We generally
recommend that you do not use the trimmer to increase speed
in turbulent areas or near the ground because of the increased
risk of collapse. Do not brake the glider symmetrically in
accelerated flight. Pulling both brakes down firmly can deform
the profile and, in an extreme case, cause a frontal collapse.
The trimmer must be locked off using the metal loop in
non-motorised flight. It is possible to loop the metal loop
attached to the end of the trimmer tab through the Carabiner
before takeoff. This locks the trimmer in the neutral position
and makes it impossible for the trimmer to be released in flight.
Make sure the trimmer is closed before attaching the safety
ring to the main carabiner of the harness. In the case of open
trimmers, the C-strap is considerably shortened!
WARNING: Under no circumstances should the grip loop for
the trimmer lock be put into the main hangpoint. This
shortens the D-riser considerably, and this effect is
increased by opening the trimmer when it is like this.

Speed System
The APAX evo already has a high basic trim speed, but this can be increased considerably by
using the additional speed system. It is particularly useful if there is a strong headwind, for
valley crossings or to leave a dangerous area quickly.
The speed system accelerates the wing by progressively shortening the risers towards the
front. This decreases the canopy’s original angle of attack and the speed of the glider
increases.
