Speed system
The U-Turn ETERNITY is equipped with a very effective foop actutated speed system. It increas-
es the speed when applied up to approx. 18 km/h, depending on the wing size and pilot weight
or surface loading.
Therefore it should not be activated in extreme flight situations or deactivated immediately
when they are occuring. All extreme flight attitudes (e.g. collapses) happen at accelerated
speed more dynamically. Since the maximum acceleration is part of the safety behavior of
the glider, it can happen that with some harnesses the speed bar to full speed cannot be
used.
AttEntion:
Through the modification the speed range in the accelerat-
ed flight is clearly higher and the reaction accordingly more dynamic. Only
pilots with enought experience should make the modification
The speed system needs to be adjusted before the first flight. Therefore the connection lines of
the foot extensor are being connected through the Brummel hooks with the speed system on
the riser. To be able to untertake the right adjustment the harness should be hung up so you
can sit in flying position. The attached risers are best held up by someone else. It should be
adjusted in a way so that the pulleys are on top of each other and you have your legs stretched
out. And you are also responsible to watch out that the speed system is adjusted symmetrically
and not too short so the glider is not pre-accelerated in the flight.
