- Page 7 4. Harness Point certified harnesses Group GH(without rigid cross-bracing). The suspension points of the chosen harness should ideally have a carabiner distance of approximately 45cm and a height of 40 48cm.
- Page 8 5. Risers Point has 3 risers. The A riser has a red cover to easy identification. There is another line with red mailon. There is A’ and is for the big ears. Also there are trimmer system and it can adjust the glider speed.
- Page 9 7. Accelerator system The accelerator has being limited in travel up to a safety point, however you can gain 8-12 km of extra speed. The speed system length is 10cm. You have to adjust the harness to the speed system so you can use all the speed travel.
- Page 10 Always far away from the ground when using the speed bar. 8. Trimmers The POINT is supplied with a trim riser set. The ‘neutral’ or standard position is when the trimmers are pulled middle of the webbing which has been marked and A/B/C riser lengths are equal.
- Page 11 To know yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inflations and ground handling in advance. You should have no difficulties flying the Point for the first time in suitable conditions, but as with all new equipment.
- Page 12 10.1 Tow launch The Point is easy to launch using a winch and it has special skills. practice this launching technique special training is needed and you have to know the procedures and dangers, which are specific for winching.
- Page 13 Don’t pull the rear-risers too much, to avoid a deep stall! 12. Deflations In spite of the Point has great stability of the flight, strong turbulence or piloting error may cause a portion of the wing suddenly to be a deflation.
- Page 14 12.2 Frontal collapse Point does not come out the symmetrical front collapse by itself. It has high internal pressure with its well designed profile. However a symmetric collapse my occur in strong turbulent condition, but It could be fast recovered, if you apply the brake down to 15 to 20cm.
- Page 15 There may follow side thrust forward with a following wing collapse. 12.6 B stall The Point has a very clean stable B stall. To enter the B stall, the pilot has to pull the first 20cm slowly until the r glider loses forward speed and starts to descend at around 6 m/s vertically.
- Page 16 www.flydavinci.com further input. Check you have forward flight again before using the brakes. 12.7 Cravat In case a cravat should occur from an asymmetric collapse or other manoeuvres, it is important to keep your flying direction by applying some brake on the opposite side and weight shift.
- Page 17 The sink rate could be more than 15 m/sec. To get out of the spiral dive you must release the inner brake and use the outside brake to manage your sink rate. Mind that Point may take one more turn after releasing the brake. 14 Landing We recommend to land with trimmers to the normal slow position.
- Page 18 Point completely ground. Separate the lines to the each side. The Point must be folded cell to cell to keep the plastic reinforcement at the leading edge lie flat on each other and don’t get bent. Try to pack your Point as loosely as the...
