Installing the speedlimiter
PLEASE NOTE
The MIURA RS fully complies with
the requirements for A classification
only when the speed limiter is
correctly fitted.
In some countries this is a legal
requirement if the glider is to be
used for training.
Other features
The MIURA RS does not have a trimmer
or any other adjustable, detachable or
variable features in addition to the
speed bar.
Recommended weight
range
The weight ranges given in this Manual
generally refer to take-off weight (pilot
weight including clothing, glider,
harness and equipment). Determine
your take-off weight by weighing
yourself with all of your equipment and
your backpack.
The MIURA RS must be flown within
the permitted weight range.
In addition to the permitted weight
range, Swing gives a recommended
weight range for the MIURA RS. The
flight characteristics of the MIURA RS
are particularly well-balanced in this
range. The comments given below
regarding dynamics in relation to
wing-loading are particularly true if you
are outside this range.
Swing offers the MIURA RS in various
sizes. If you are choosing between two
sizes, your personal flying preferences
will determine which glider to choose.
If you prefer very dynamic flight
behaviour with fast reactions and
without hesitation, you should choose
a high wing-loading, i.e. the smaller
model.
