RISERS
Speed system:
The Blaze GT is equipped with a speed bar operated speed-system which returns
automatically to the normal position when released. The speed system affects the A,
A1, B and C-risers and changes the angle of attack. In normal flight all risers have an
overall length of 49 cm without quick links. When the speed bar is pushed out with your
feet, the A-risers are shortened by up to a maximum of 19 cm. The A1 risers are
shortened by up to a max of 16 cm. The B risers by up to a max. of 13 cm. The C risers
by up to a max. of 7 cm, and the D risers retain their original length. To use the speed
system you have to attach the brummel hooks found on the front of the risers and
connect them to the brummel hooks found on the speed bar. If your paramotor harness
did not come with a stirrrup style speed bar contact your local dealer to purchase one.
More detailed instructions can be found in the chapter below called Setting up the
Controls.
Trimmers:
The Blaze GT has a wide in flight speed range due to the range of different trimmer
settings. The trimmers have a deceleration range of 4 cm and 9 cm of acceleration. On
the faster setting (trimmers fully open and extended) the Blaze GT’s speed increases.
The wing is less sensitive to turbulence and the stability improves. On slower trimmer
settings (neutral or trimmers pulled all the way down), sink rate improves and the brake
pressure becomes lighter. You will feel that the wing is more sensitive flying through
bumpy air with trimmers pulled all the way in.
To help you identify the neutral
position of each trimmer, look for the white stitching.
It is important to check and set
the trimmers in the same position for each riser before take-off and in flight to avoid
unwanted turns.
The speed of the Blaze GT with closed trimmers (trimmers pulled all the way down) is
around 39-42km/h with a relatively low effort of the engine. With additional brake
pressure the cruising speed is around 34-37 km/h. This will give you the best sink rate
and requires the least amount of thrust from your engine for level flight. This position is
ideal for economy navigation tasks.
The neutral trimmer position (marked with a white line) is the position where the risers
are level. This is the most useful configuration for navigation and for precision ground
tasks. The Blaze GT still turns very well and restores plenty of energy flying around 44-
47 km/h. It requires a little more RPM from your engine compared to the closed trimmer
position. It is recommended to use this configuration when using the speed system!
With the trimmers fully open the speed is around 48-51 km/h. You will notice the main
brakes will become harder to pull. This is normal. With fully released trimmers the
canopy is in its semi reflex mode and becomes more solid. To fly at maximum speed
with your Blaze GT, fully release trimmers and push the speed bar out all the way by
pushing on it with your feet. The maximum speed is around 65-67km/h. Higher fuel
consumption will result in this configuration.
WARNING! Do not use the brakes when the Blaze GT is fully accelerated with
trimmers all the way open and speed bar pushed all the way out.
