DAVINCI GLIDERS / RHYTHM2 3. Introduction and Pilot Target The RHYTHM2 is an easy-going EN/LTF A glider that is suitable for the training of paragliding. The main focus of the design is on safety and maximum forgiveness in handling, but with an eye to handling and performance.
DAVINCI GLIDERS / RHYTHM2 5. Risers RHYTHM2 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. A’ Standard Accelerated Travel length...
DAVINCI GLIDERS / RHYTHM2 8. Pre-flight check 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 RHYTHM2 for the first time in suitable conditions, but as with all new equipment.
DAVINCI GLIDERS / RHYTHM2 10. In flight characteristics RHYTHM2 has the best stable glide performance in a normal position with no any brakes. In strong thermals and turbulence, we recommend gently pull both brakes without acceleration to increase stability. The brakes provide feedback about the surrounding air, which is needed for active flying.
DAVINCI GLIDERS / RHYTHM2 11.3 Full stall The full stall can occur when you fully pull both brakes enough a long time. This means that the wing loses its forward momentum. To recover to the normal flight you must release both brakes. After this usually comes a front dive with a possible front deflation.
DAVINCI GLIDERS / RHYTHM2 11.7 Cravat In case a cravat should occur from an asymmetric collapse or other maneuvers, it is important to keep your flying direction by applying some brake on the opposite side and weight shift. You can also use strong deep pumps on the brake to the cravated side. If a pull of the brake line is unsuccessful, pulling the stable line which is the outermost line on the B-riser may work.
DAVINCI GLIDERS / RHYTHM2 13. Landing We recommend landing with trimmers to the normal slow position. Don’t use sharp turns or radical maneuvers. When you are 1-2m over the ground, you should face into the wind and standing upright and ready to run.
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.
