The speed system is efficient, sensitive and precise. The pilot can use the
system whenever they want during the flight. In the neutral position the
glider will fly at the standard speed and glide. Using full speed-bar, the
wing will fly at maximum speed, but the glide will be adversely affected.
• Released speed-bar: the A, B, C-risers are aligned.
• Full speed-bar: the difference between the A - C-risers becomes:
Size 22 - 16cm
Size 24 - 16cm
Size 26 - 16cm
Size 28 - 16cm
Please note!
The use of the speed system results in changes to the speed and
reactions of the wing. For more information, please see the certification
report.
2.5.1. Speed system assembly
The speed-bar consists of the bar that the pilot pushes with their feet, as
well as the two cords that connect it to the speed system components
on the risers. Once you have chosen the type of speed-bar you prefer,
you must install it. Some considerations:
• You should use the type of speed-bar you consider appropriate,
depending on the type of harness, personal preferences, etc.
• The speed-bar is detachable to facilitate its connection and/or
disconnection to the risers as well as subsequent adjustment.
• To connect it to the harness, please follow the instructions of the
harness manufacturer. The majority of harnesses have a speed system
pre-installed.
• The standard connection of the speed-bar to the speed system is via
Brummel hooks, where two slots in the hooks are interlocked, making
their connection / disconnection easy. However, any connection system
that is safe may be used.
2.5.2. Changing the riser cords
In spite of the speed system having pulleys with bearings to reduce
friction to a minimum, the frequency with which the speed-bar is used
causes the cord to wear and you may need to replace them.
In all Niviuk gliders the speed system cords on the risers are completely
removable and easily replaceable. You can use the Brummel hooks, not
use them, remove them, use another type of connector, etc. It is even
possible to fix the speed-bar cords directly to the speed system on
the risers. This last option makes the connection / disconnection more
laborious, but means the cord has maximum travel without obstructions
or restrictions which is very useful for some models of harnesses.
