RISERS
Trimmers:
The T-Ride has a wide in flight speed range due to the range of different trimmer
settings. The trimmers have a deceleration range of 6 cm and 5cm of acceleration. On
the faster setting (trimmers fully open and extended) the T-Ride’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 back positioned trim system shortens and lengthens the C and D risers and
changes the angle of attack. In normal flight, all risers are in a "neutral position" and are
of equal length (46 cm to the bottom edge of the rapid links). This position is marked
with a white line on the trimmer straps. When you pull down the straps that run through
the trimmers, the C-risers are shortened up to 3 cm, D-straps up to 6 cm. When you
open the trims (push the trim buckles) , the C-risers are extended up to 2.5 cm, and the
D risers are extended by up to 5 cm.
The speed of the T-Ride (depends on wing loading) with closed trimmers (trimmers
pulled all the way down) is around 39-43km/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. 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 T-Ride 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
The front positioned trim system shortens the A risers and changes the angle of attack.
In normal flight, the A risers are in a "neutral position" and are of equal length (46 cm to
the bottom edge of the rapid links). When you pull down red colored loop of the straps
that run through the trimmers, the A-risers are shortened up to 3,5 cm. Note!
You can
pull straps on A-trimmers only when D-trimmers are set to neutral position or released!
The speed of the T-Ride (depends on wing loading) with fully closed A-trimmers and
fully released D-trimmers is around 50-55km/h with higher effort of the engine. It
requires a much more RPM from your engine compared to the closed trimmer
Attention!
Never fly with shortened A-trimmers in combination with shortened D-trimmers!
