Accelerator System
The risers feature a foot operated speed system with ball bearing pulleys for easy, comfortable
high speed cruising. Using the speed system has exactly the same effect as releasing the
trimmers - either can be used in any combination to accelerate the wing. Be careful, fully
accelerated with trimmers released is very fast and should only be used in calm conditions
and with sufficient altitude. Use the TST for directional control, applying the brakes whilst fully
accelerated may lead to a collapse.
Brake Lines
The brake line lengths have been set carefully during testing. We feel it is better to have
slightly long brake lines and to fly with a wrap when necessary.
• Ensure both main brake lines are of equal length.
• If a brake handle has been removed, check that its line is still routed through the pulley
when it is replaced.
• When the brake handles are released in flight, the brake lines should be slack. There
must be a substantial “bow” in them to guarantee no deformation of the trailing edge.
• There must be a minimum of 10cm of free play before the brakes begin to deform the
trailing edge. This prevents the trailing edge from being deformed when using the speed
system or when controlling the wing with the TST.
Adjustable Brake Pulley Position
The height of the brake line pulley can be adjusted according to pilot preference and to suite
the power unit’s hang points height. Higher settings are for low hang point motors whilst a
middle or lower setting are for units with higher hang points.
To adjust the pulley height, first remove the pulleys 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
and TST lines accordingly e.g lowering the pulleys by 10cm requires an additional 10cm to be
added to the overall brake/TST line lengths (measured from the mark on the lines).
IMPORTANT
In the unlikely
event of a brake line
snapping in flight, or
a handle becoming
detached, the glider
can be flown by gently
pulling the rear risers
(D-risers), or the TST
for directional control.
IMPORTANT
If you adjust the
brake pulley height,
you MUST lengthen
the brake lines
accordingly.
