6.) Reserve: If you loose control or if you are not absolutely sure that you
have enough height for further attempts to recover, immediately use
your reserve!
Many pilots wait way too long before using their reserve. Some don’t use the
reserve at all if they lose control of their glider. We strongly recommend to at
least mentally practice the use of the reserve from time to time: Grab the handle
of the reserve in flight, like you would do it in case of emergency. Many clubs
or schools offer to throw the rescue for example in a gym. The most realistic
way of training is to use the reserve in real flight. Many SIV Clinics offer that
as part of their training.
Please use these possibilities: There are already too many pilots, who almost
forgot that they have a reserve they could use, which is a very bad precondition
to use it without hesitating in a dangerous moment.
Winch launch
The ROLLING is very easy to launch on the winch. You should start to climb
at a flat angle.
We recommend the use of a towing device which accelerates the glider during
the winch launch.
Speed system
Mounting the speed system
Most harnesses have two pulleys on each side. Some light harnesses have
simple rings instead. Guide the accelerator ropes (included in the delivery)
from top to bottom through these pulleys. Then fix the speed bar on the bottom
of the ropes.
It is important to adjust the length correctly. If you set it too short, the glider
might fly accelerated all the time, which definitely has to be avoided. If you set
it too long, you might not be able to use the full accelerator travel.
We suggest adjusting the length quite long and then try to estimate the free
travel in flight to shorten it after the flight.
