Weather dangers
Inform in the weather forecast and/or locally over upcoming weather conditions. Use the U-Turn AIRWOLF
only with winds you are able to keep the glider fully under control. Do not use the U-Turn AIRWOLF, if
wind conditions vary strongly. Never use the U-Turn AIRWOLF with approaching thunderstorm. Descend
fast and land immediately with thunderstorm approaching on horizon!
Ignoring one or several security rules
can turn a fun fl ight into a lethal fl ight!

Lines and risers
We use DC 60, DC 100, LTC 0080, LTC 0120, LTC 160 TGL200 Liros lines as well as TSL 190, TSL 220, TSL
280 (TSL = Aramid Kern) with a special weaved Dyneema core. They have a high tear strength and
are unlikely to bend. This stretch restistance denies changes in fl ight characteristics caused by diff erent
stretching after a short time of usage. An optimum of safety and strength in relation to drag is achieved
by the use of diff erent line diameters.
The whole line system consists of single elements that are sewed and looped on both ends. All suspen-
sion and brake lines are forked in the upper part. The diff erent colour of the lines guarantee easy han-
dling and control. All suspension lines are looped seperately in rapidlinks and coected to the risers. The
rapidlinks have collectorclips built in to prevent slipping of the lines.
After the intervall or after 100 fl igth hours must be check the lines.
Brake line settings
The main brakeline is looped through a reel at the D-riser with a colourmarking where a brakegriphas
to be tied on. The manufacturer setting is 0 travel plus 5 cm. Shortening more then 5 cm is not allowed
and results in a “ brake” condition in fl ight which is extemely dangerous for takeoff , fl ight and landing.
The basic setting provides suffi
cient braking action at landing and in exteme fl ight conditions besides a
comfortable armposition in trimmed fl ight.
Please note that with the height of the harness mounting also the relative brakedistance changes.
When adjusting the setting, both sides have to be symmetrically and a permanent knot has to be used.
Optimum solution is the so called “Spierenstich” knot with its high slide resistance and its little eff ect on
the lines.
