Trims
Trims fulfil a similar function as speed only with a difference that you can fly with
loose trims under calm conditions for the whole time of flying, which is more
comfortable than the long standing in the speed. KOMAKA is equipped with
the speed system and trims as well. This combination will allow you to take
advantage of the maximal speed of the glider under calm conditions,
for example at morning and evening flights. The trims can be loose partly
of fully. Loose the trims symmetrically on both sides. In case of thermic weather
or any turbulence, we recommend using only the speed. When you let it loose,
you can quickly release the canopy into a normal flight position if it is needed.
In case of using the trims, their pulling to a normal flight mode is more
challenging and therefore it is not suitable to use the trims under unstable
conditions.
FLIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS
This brochure is only informative. It is by no means a textbook of flying. All the
described advices, simulations and manoeuvres should be professionally
explained by your PG school instructor.
5.1
Pre-flight check
Check your equipment carefully before take-off. A careful pre-flight check is
ordered for all flight equipments and at the same time is a base for a safe flight.
If the place and conditions are suitable for flying, take the glider out of the cover,
unpack it completely, release and untwist the ropes and check its conditions:
what
to check
- supporting straps
burning from breaks
integrity of the speed system and operating pulleys
minify carbines, their locking
flipped over loose ends
-
ropes
damages or twists
endurance and security of the twines on the breaks
ropes near the supporting straps
-
canopy
canopy's coating
supporting beckets
profiles
At the same time, you should carefully check all the joints, straps, carbines etc.
Joining the canopy's and the seat's straps should be done with a special safety
endurance carbine.
