13 Using Trimmers, WTS and Speed bar
Trimmers
Once you have more experienced, then start to use different trimmer settings – It is recommended to
practice using the trimmer during a static hang check.
It is important to actuate the trimmer whilst pulling down in line with the risers.
1. It does not wear the webbing
2. It is easier to pull.
The greater speed range trimmers give you, will require some management. however once you have
mastered them, you will quickly realize the extra possibilities are pure practical fun.
WTS
The WTS system is best applied with an arc motion, so outwards away from the pilot then downwards, This
is because the pulley system works better. If you just pull straight down then the effort is quite resistant as
the Pulley blocks in between the angle of the lines at the top of the “D” riser.
The pulley is a necessary design feature as it means that whatever the trimmer position the WTS stays the
same length.
Speed bar
Get to know your speed bar! We can’t emphasize enough the value of using it. It increases speed, by as
much as 20% and, in the right conditions, can greatly enhance your maneuverability, stability and your
safety.
With the SB the wing cuts through turbulence better. However, if any instability is encountered due to
excessive turbulence it is recommended to release the bar and to return to normal flying mode. The SB is
primarily for use during straight and level flight but as you become experienced, careful release of the bar
whilst entering turns, has an effect similar to pulling the stick back on a conventional aircraft. So enhancing
maneuverability.
You can use it to “surf the thermals” i.e. progressively apply the speed bar in lift and turn it into forward
speed, then, ease off on the bar as you exit the thermal whilst entering sinking air and convert that speed
into lift.
Its most important usage is a safety issue. When its vital to make headway against stronger wind.
For example:- A serious situation commonly happens near the coast, when an off shore breeze picks up in
strength and you need to make headway so you dont get blown out to sea.
The speed bar can be used with confidence across the whole range of trim settings,

15 Sizing a wing to your needs
The following Diagrams WWP01 and 02 are designed as purely a guide - to assist pilots and proffessionals
in making the correct choices of Revo3 wing size relative to pilot skill level, pilot / engine weight and engine
power.
Note - the Hang Point widths are an important detail
