The Speedster 3 is well damped in roll but under certain circumstances it is possible for the
pilot to induce oscillations. This is caused by a combination of the engine/propeller torque
and pilot weight shift and/or brake inputs. To stop oscillations it is best to reduce the power
slightly and ensure that you remain static with weight shift and brake inputs. Once settled
you can once again apply full power. Under full power the torque effect will attempt to gently
turn the wing, using weight shift or adjusting the trims asymmetrically is the best method to
correct this.
The handling characteristic of the Speedster 3 is truly amazing. We have worked hard on
tuning the wing so that it turns tightly but also efficiently, as the ability to climb in a turn is
very important for powered and free flight, making the climb out fun and thermalling easy.
Normal Flight
Once at a safe height you can release the trimmers for a faster cruise speed. If your motor has
enough power, the Speedster 3 will achieve very good straight line speeds whilst maintaining
level flight with trims fully released and full speed bar applied. Be cautious when releasing the
trimmers beyond the double red lines, only do so in calm conditions.
For better penetration in headwinds and improved glide performance in sinking air, crosswinds
or headwinds, you should fly faster than trim speed by using the accelerator system, or the
trimmers.
For maximum glide/sink rate efficiency whilst flying downwind, release the speed bar and set
the trimmers to the slow position.
By pulling the trimmers to the slow position and applying a small amount of brake, the
Speedster 3 will achieve its best minimum-sink rate; this is the speed to use for thermalling
and ridge soaring whilst free flying.
