- Moving the stick down moves the arms down thus braking and slowing down the wing. Doing so allows you to reach the minimum
speed before deflating.
-
Moving the stick up moves the arms up thus accelerating the wing and so enabling it to reach its maximum speed.
We recommend the very ends of the arms to travel between 8 and 10 cm (3.15 to 3.94 in) from the lowest position to the highest.
If your pilot have the Speedbar System ( Max Pilot), please refer to his manual in order to make the right settings.
Second step: get the ballast in position
Please take the small bag containing the ballasts .
Those ballasts will be very useful on the flying site. Indeed, you will need to adjust the amount of ballast depending on the desired speed you
want to reach but also depending on the flying style you are on (easy, acrobatic…). The more weight you add the more speed you get and the
more abilities the wing has to go through the air and stay quiet fighting against wind turbulences. The radio transmitter sticks will feel
firmer in your hands and the wing will be more reactive when turning right or left.
If you remove some ballast the wing will be easier to fly and will react in a softer way. So, it will be easier to fly up thermal winds when
climatic conditions are not too strong. Generally, the weaker the wind is, the less weight you should bring up. You would be inspired adding
ballast should the wind strengthen.
A side zip allows you to put the ballast inside the harness. You then need to move it forward right under the pilot’s legs to ensure the overall
system is deadly horizontal when being suspended under the lines.
