We suggest adjusting the length quite long and then try to estimate the free
travel in flight to shorten it after the flight.
Using the accelerator in flight
The speed system is very effective and smooth running. The glide performance
is very good up to the maximum speed of the FACTOR 2. Please consider, that
the wing behaves more dynamic if a collapse occurs in accelerated flight. You
should be aware, that you might need more height to recover to normal flight!
Attention: It doesn’t make sense to apply the brakes during accelerated
flight. This will reduce the glide performance considerably, and it will
make the wing more unstable. (Unlike in non accelerated flight!)
To turn, simply shift weight, or push the speed bar asymmetrically. (If you push
the
right side further, the wing will perform a left turn.)
You should also use the accelerator for pitch control: If the glider pitches up,
push the speed bar more, if it pitches down, release the speed bar.
Measurements of the speed systems (publication required by EN 926)
If you use all the available accelerator travel, the A riser will get about 17.5cm
shorter than the C riser on the FACTOR 2 S and FACTOR 2 M.
Service and maintenance
General advice
To keep your glider in good condition for many years, please consider the
following advice:

Don’t expose your glider to unnecessary UV radiation – for example
by leaving it on the landing site unpacked.

Don’t fold the nylon rod reinforcements at the cell openings too hard.

If you pack the glider when it is wet or just damp, it has to be dried
later. Don’t leave it packed in a wet condition!
