To turn, simply shift weight, or push the speed bar asymmetrically. (If you push
the right side further, the wing will perform a left turn.)
You can also use the accelerator for pitch control: If the glider pitches up, push
the speed bar more, if it pitches down, release the speed bar.
Measurements of the speed systems (publication required by EN 926)
If you use all the available accelerator travel, the A riser is shortened by 17,5cm
compared to the C riser, which keeps its initial length.
Service and maintenance
General advice
To keep your glider in good condition for many years, please consider the
following advice:
•
Don't expose your glider to unnecessary UV radiation – for example
by leaving it on the landing site unpacked.
Don't fold the Mylar reinforcements at the cell openings too hard.
•
•
If you pack the glider when it is wet or just damp, it has to be dried
later. Don't leave it packed in a wet condition!
When you practice ground handling, avoid crashing the glider hard on
•
the ground with the leading edge, as this might lead to damage.
Avoid unnecessary dirt or sharp stones touching the lines and the
•
cloth. Don't step on the lines if they are laying on a stony surface!
•
Humidity combined with dirt can lead to shrinking of the lines and
thereby to the wrong trim on your glider. Salt water (sweat) may
damage the lines in the long run.
•
To store your glider for a longer time, avoid a humid or a very hot
environment. (Like in a car during hot summer days)
Cleaning
To clean the wing, only use water and a cleaning cloth. Never use any solvents.
If there is sand, dirt or small stones inside the canopy, you should remove them
because they will damage the coating of the cloth and the seams in the long run.
