the one hand, but which tip to the side in turbulences quite undamped on the
other hand.
Other harnesses don’t allow extreme weight shifting, but they will give the pilot
a calmer feel in turbulent conditions. There are several harnesses on the market,
which are especially designed for acro flying and which offer the possibility for
two reserves.
A good flying school can help on this topic with individual advice.
Weight range
Each size of the ROLLING is certified for a certain weight range. The weight
refers to the “overall take off weight”. This means the weight of the pilot, the
glider, the harness and all other equipment.
If you fly the ROLLING on the lower half of the weight range, the agility
decreases and the glider will be more damped. In strong turbulences the wing
tends to deform and to collapse more than with a higher wing loading.
If you fly the ROLLING on the upper half of the weight range, the agility and
the stability in turbulences will increase. Also the speed will increase slightly.
The self damping will decrease in turns, as well as after collapses. For Acro
Flying, we recommend the upper half of the weight range. Especially dynamic
manoeuvres like wingovers and loops are easier to perform with a high wing
loading.
Flying the ROLLING
We suggest performing your first flights with a new wing in calm conditions to
get used to the flight behaviour without any stress. We also recommend to do
some take-offs on a training hill or some ground handling to get a good feeling
for your glider from the very beginning.
Launch
Before every take off the pilot has to ensure that the equipment is in a proper
condition, especially the glider, the harness and the reserve system.
Just before launch we recommend a check routine, which should be performed
carefully. (Many accidents at take off could be avoided by a proper check!)
