    6. Trimmers The DUET is supplied with a trim riser set. The ‘neutral’ or standard position is when the trimmers are pulled all the way down and A/B/C/D riser lengths are equal. We recommend performing landing and take-off with the trimmers closed. With the trimmers closed, the DUET will reliably inflate without any overshooting.

  • Page 8: In Flight Characteristics

    To familiarize yourself with the DUET your first turns should be gradual and progressive. To make efficient and coordinated turns with the DUET first look in the direction you want to go and check that the airspace is clear. Your first input for directional change should be weight- shift, followed by the smooth application of the brake until the desired bank angle is achieved.
  • Page 9 DAVINCI GLIDERS / DUET 10. Deflations In spite of the DUET has great stability of the flight, strong turbulence or piloting error may cause a portion of the wing suddenly to be a deflation. 10.1 Asymmetric collapse Asymmetric collapse usually happens when the pilot has not foreseen this possible reaction of the wing.
  • Page 10 10.6 B stall We do not recommend a B stall with the DUET. This techniques is generally very hard to use with DUET by the high force needed to pull down the B lines. 10.7 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 11: Descent Techniques

    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 DUET may take one more turn after releasing the brake.

  • Page 12: Maintenance And Cleaning

    The DUET need 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 DUET as loosely as the packing bag allows, because every fold weakens the fabric.
  • Page 13 Do not leave marked tracks and do not leave rubbish behind. Do not make unnecessary noise and respect sensitive biological areas. The materials used on a paraglider should be recycled. Please send old Davinci gliders back to us Davinci Gliders offices. We will undertake to recycle the glider.
