ATTENTION
ACTIVE SYSTEM ARMS + ATS SYSTEM
The Active Arms System which unites the harness to the frame, where the
paraglider risers are attached.These arms have 6 connection points, the function
of these points are to have the option to find the ideal static balance when flying
together with the ATS System.
These arms work as a roman scale with it's different connection points, leaning
forwards or backwards in function of the ATS system. it is necessary to find your
ideal static balance, wearing your flight suit and equipment, This is best achieved
by suspending yourself & the machine from a static frame, moving the attachment
points on the active arms forwards or backwards (B,C,D,E,F,) to find the optimum
tilting angle 20 degrees of the propellor to the ground.
The lighter weight pilots will move the ATS backwards, and the heavier pilots
forwards.
The ATS System is the result of some study work done in the beginning of the
Winter of 2012, which had the objective of improving the engine torque effect.
With this system the light and heavy pilots can now fly comfortably with
more powerful engines, and therefore have more thrust.
PSince the PAP paraengine units were first made in 1989 they
have been characterized for its low hang point design.
Nowadays this is a huge achievement due to
the weight of the pilot and the engine
power which is no longer directly
proportional. Because
of this
Remember that now the balancing
point is the top part of the ATS where
the paragliders attachment loop goes
through , so moving the shackle has no
influence in your position during flight.
While in flight you will notice that
the chosen position is correct, if not
loosen the 2 screws and slide the ATS
towards the correct position seeking
the best balance for your flight.
If necessary move the shackle forwards
or backwards (the balancing point
is now the top part of the ATS where
the paragliders risers are attached,
so, moving the shackle will have no
influence on your position in flight.
difficulty many manufacturers who followed our steps with the low hang point have
gone back to the high hang point system to improve the engine torque effect .
With the ATS System we have achieved without changing the height of the
attachment point, where the the paraglider risers are attached , reducing the anti
torque effect and therefore ensuring a comfortable and precise flight. We could say
that the ATS System works as a stabilizer as the rotation point is about 90mm higher
ontop of the arms where the paragliders risers are attached, just underneath the
carabiner of the glider. Preventing with this the horizontal and vertical movements.
Another advantage of the ATS System is to be able to slide this on the paraengine
arm until finding the exact position for the flight, a approximate angle of 20 degrees
from the propeller to the ground.
ATS INSTALATION:
1.- Remove the carabiner where the paragliders risers are attached.
2.- Place the ATS on the arm with the regulation screws looking towards the inside
of the harness (fig 01).
3.- Pull the paragliders attachment loop through the hole on the top part of the ATS
(fig 02)
4- Put back the carabiner in its position. (fig 03)
5- Pull the arm to its maximum, by pulling the carabiner upwards (fig 04)
6- Sliding the ATS forwards or backwards, seeking the best verticality of the
paraglider attachment Loop (fig05) and (fig06)
7- Once having done this, fasten the 2 screws on the side (fig07)
Remember that now the
balancing point is the top
part of the ATS where the
paragliders attachment loop
goes through , so moving the
shackle has no influence in
your position during flight.
