Adjustable Brake Pulley Position

The height of the brake line pulley can be adjusted according to pilot preference and to suit 

the  power  unit’s  hang  points  height.  Higher  settings  are  for  low  hang  point  motors/trikes 

whilst a middle or lower setting are for units with higher hang points. 

The factory setting may not be suitable for your particular power unit. We recommend to 

make a test inflation with your unit to ensure the pulleys are in a suitable position, the brake 

lines are not set too short and that you can reach the brake handles comfortably.

To adjust the pulley height, first remove them from the risers and re-attach at the desired 

position,  then  undo  the  Velcro  magnet  attachments  and  re-attach  a  few  cms  below  the 

new pulley position. If you lower the pulley height, you must also lengthen the brake lines 

accordingly. 

Tip Steering System

The  Tip  Steering  System  (TST)  uses  ergonomic  handles  for  control  of  the  wing  during 

accelerated flight. Located near the main hangpoint loops, the handles are easily accessible 

and linked to the very tips of the wing, giving high levels of precision and comfort for high 

speed cruising or accurate low level carving. The TST allows for precise handling without the 

need to use the brakes, it is not necessary to use large control movements to effect a turn 

so be progressive and gentle at first until you are familiar with the handling characteristics. 

In accelerated flight the tip steering system can be used for both directional control - to keep 

a straight heading and for effecting nice smooth turns. It becomes more precise the faster 

you fly.

IMPORTANT

If you adjust the 

brake pulley height, 

you MUST re lengthen 

the brake lines 

accordingly.
