The TR 27 can be used for towed flight if is connected to the towed flight system (Tow release).
It must be connected to the same carbines that join the harness with the paraglider. It is
activated through an activator that is strategically located and when is pulled it releases the
equipment to fly.
During the taking off it’s necessary to avoid a small angle of the cable with the ground.
A taking off with tow release help needs instructions and appropriate procedures. Make sure
that you have the necessary knowledge and that the operation is made in a safe and correct
way.
The TR 27 in its normal flight, performs better with the hands lifted. Applying 20 - 25 cm the
canopy enters safely the minimum speed range. To accelerate, use the speed stirrup.
Maximum symmetric way of brake lines , by maximum weight:
In turbulent conditions, the paraglider must be flown with the brakes softly applied. An increase
in angle of attack is achieved by this measure, resulting in greater canopy stability.
The pendulum effect back and forth must be avoided! The canopy must remain on top of the
pilot. For this purpose, the speed must be increased by releasing the brakes upon entering a
thermal (depending on its intensity) or braking on exit. This is part of the basic technique on
active flying.
During flights over the lift, it is highly recommended a minimum height of 50m be kept, for
safety reasons.
It is extremely important to know and respect flying regulations, especially so when the
airspace within close proximities of canyons is shared among several pilots, where last minute
anti-collision maneuvers are not executable.
The TR 27 is very sensitive, responding instantly to turn commands. Leveled turns can be
achieved with the shifting of weight on the risers with minimum altitude loss.
A combination of weight shifting, and breaking technique is the most efficient way of executing
turns in any situation. The given brake utilized determines the radius of turns.
The TR 27 responds very nicely to B-riser control. With the speed system applied the B risers
can be pulled backwards towards the pilot to directly control the angle of attack of the glider.
Pulling backwards pitches the wing nose-up, increasing the angle of attack, and reduces the
chordwise compression in the sail from the lines, making the wing more tuck-resistant. The
control movement is subtle and fluid, and only small movements are required. It is important
to recognize how much B-riser movement is needed to return the glider to trim speed. The
riser-limiters provide a good indicator of when trim speed is approached, making it clear when
the maillons are getting close to level (which is a sensible limit to the amount of B-riser control
that should be applied). B-riser control can be used to fluidly pilot the wing through turbulence
by controlling pitch. The aim should be to control pitch so that the wing stays directly above
you. B-riser control can also be used for steering. It is good practice to always glide with gentle
tension applied to the B-risers (pulling them backwards about 5cm) so that you can feel the
inputs from the wing. Those inputs warn you when turbulence is coming, but also allow you
to feel the lifty side of the wing – when the tension on the B-riser on one side increases, pull
back on that side to turn slightly towards the lifting air. Following lifting lines using the B-risers
this way can make a huge difference to flight performance and gives the TR 27 pilot a very
satisfying feeling of being connected to the air movements. A pilot fully in tune with the TR 27
can use these B-riser inputs to follow the lifty lines that lead to the cores of thermals.
It is recommended to use the accelerator when flying against the wind or in descending current
zones. Due to a decreased angle of attack, the canopy may collapse easier than when set at the
normal position. The pilot must remember that the higher the speed, the more dynamic the
collapse response or symmetric closing will be.
In turbulent conditions it is not recommended to fly the glider with full speed, cause the TR
27 is than more sensitive to deformation and closing. You must remember that the higher the
speed, the more dynamic the collapse response or symmetric closing will be.
By activating the brakes on the outside edge of the turns, as well as applying maximum weight
shifting on the risers, the efficiency and resistance to collapse in turbulences (at the edge of
thermals) is increased.
In case it becomes necessary to perform turns in a constrained space with the TR 27, we
recommend you release the outside brake in the given turn and pull a little more the brake on
the inside of the turn.
The TR 27 glides best when no brakes are applied.
By pulling either brake too strongly or suddenly, there is a danger of creating a negative spiral!
