Speed system:
The Charger 2 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 50 cm without quick links. When the speed bar is pushed out with your feet,
A-risers are shortened by up to a maximum of 14,5 cm and A 1 risers up to of 14,5 cm.
The B risers by up to a max. of 9 cm. The C risers by up to a max. of 5 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 "Setting up the Controls".
Trimmers:
The Charger 2 has a wide in flight speed range due to the range of different trimmer
settings. The trimmers have a deceleration range of 3,0 cm and 10 cm of acceleration.
On the faster setting (trimmers fully open and extended) the Charger 2’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 Charger 2 with closed trimmers (trimmers pulled all the way down) is
around 37-40 km/h with a relatively low effort of the engine. This position is ideal for
economy navigation tasks. With additional brake pressure the cruising speed is around
33-36 km/h. This will give you the best sink rate and requires the least amount of thrust
from your engine for level flight.
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 Charger 2 still turns very well and restores plenty of energy flying around 40-43 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
Charger 2, fully release trimmers and push the speed bar out all the way by pushing on it
with your feet. The maximum speed is around 57-60 km/h. Higher fuel consumption will
result in this configuration.
WARNING! Do not use the brakes when the Charger 2 is accelerated with trimmers
all the way open or speed bar pushed all the way out.
