variation system. Care should be taken when the following elements 
interact with each other:
• Trimmers 
• Brakes

The pilot must note and assess the increase in wind speed and 
turbulence, and decide the most safe action to take.

The trimmers serve to modify the speed of the wing.  
The trimmer system is set by the pilot, i.e. it does not return to its point of 
origin, but remains in place until the pilot decides to release/change the 
position.
When the trimmer is in the neutral position, the wing will fly at a lower 
speed with greater glide; when the trimmer is released, the wing will fly 
with higher speed and worse glide.

The maximum travel of the trimmers is 50 mm.

Engaging and releasing the trimmers is effective and quick as well as 
sensitive and accurate.
The trimmers must be manually operated by the pilot.  The trimmers are 
situated on the D-risers, one on each side.  
To open the trimmers, press the trim tab inwards until the tape is released
