Page 7: Your Gto
We have in numerous test flights trying to give the GTO a manageable extreme flight, which is pretty well-done. But this should not obscure the fact that the GTO is a thoroughbred high performance, which will also be flown as such. -
Page 8: Line Material
The choice of material in the GTO is very complex. The sail material of the GTO is a high tenacity polyamide with a special impregnation to improve UV resistance. -
Page 9: Acceleration System
The fourth line level, improved climb performance and handling with the cranks. Through the more direct, more efficient handling, it is also much easier to prevent collapses in strong turbulence, and load-shedding. The attraction of the GTO: Despite four levels leash he has the same number of main lines. Acceleration system The GTO has an acceleration system, which is automatically activated again after deferring to the starting position. -
Page 10: Launch
A combined steering technique (weight shift and pulling the brake line on the inside of the curve) is suitable for every situation. The GTO is agile and reacts to steering impulses quickly and directly. Strong, one sided pulling of the brakes brings the GTO into an obvious side angle and the glider flies fast steep curves until spiral dive begins. -
Page 11: Towing
Ground Training In order to get to know your GTO, we recommend that you practise with your glider on the ground. Pulling up in flat gradients is great practise for fine tuning your launch techniques. -
Page 12: B-Line- Stall
The GTO will start to turn, speed up and then drop into a spiral. To keep the wing under control you must pull and release the inside brake. Please ensure that you have enough distance to the ground to exit the spiral dive. -
Page 13: Asymmetric Collapse
Emergency Steering Should it no longer be possible to steer your GTO, for example due to a broken line, the glider may be steered by gently pulling on either D-riser. Warning: Handling will be more direct so be careful not to pull too hard. -
Page 14: Full Stall
To exit a spin with your GTO just do “hands up” to release the brakes and the glider will return to normal flight. -
