Using the accelerator in flight
If you push the speed travel all the way, the ROLLING will gain approximately
14km/h speed. (Compared to “hands off”speed) It makes sense to use the
accelerator when flying into a headwind or through sinking air – or simply to
move forward faster.
Attention:
It doesn’t make sense to apply the brakes during accelerated flight. This will
reduce the glide performance considerably, and it will make the wing more
unstable. (Unlike in non accelerated flight!)
To turn, simply shift weight, or push the speed bar asymmetrically. (If you push
the right side further, the wing will perform a left turn.)
You can also use the accelerator for pitch control: If the glider pitches up, push
the speed bar more, if it pitches down, release the speed bar.
Measurements of the speed systems (publication required by EN 926)
If you use all the available accelerator travel, the A riser will get
14cm shorter. (compared to the D-riser)
Service and maintenance
General advice
To keep your glider in good condition for many years, please consider the
following advice:
•
Don’t expose your glider to unnecessary UV radiation – for example
by leaving it on the landing site unpacked.
•
Don’t fold the Mylar reinforcements at the cell openings too hard.
•
If you pack the glider when it is wet or just damp, it has to be dried
later. Don’t leave it packed in a wet condition!
•
When you practice ground handling, avoid crashing the glider hard on
the ground with the leading edge, as this might lead to damage.
