    The main C and D lines are connected to the karabiners through loops, allowing easier adjustment when your glider is serviced. BiGolden4 comes with a well-proven four-riser speed-system with split A-riser, and trimmers with a working range of 80mm, which gives great maximum speed. The risers are equipped with a big-ears system, allowing the pilot to execute the big-ears manoeuver without the necessity of holding it by hand.

    Recovery: BiGolden4 recovers from a full stall automatically once the brakes are smoothly released. During correct recovery from a full stall BiGolden4 shows no extreme tendencies such as diving in front of the pilot. If the brakes are released prematurely or too quickly there is a possible tendency for the glider to dive ahead of the pilot. This can be corrected by adequate simultaneous braking on both-sides.
