DAVINCI GLIDERS /FUNKY2 5. Risers FUNKY2 has 3 risers. The A riser has a red cover to easy identifica- tion. There is another line with red mailon. There is A’ and is for the big ears. The Difference of riser length should be no more than ±5 mm...
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 FUNKY2 for the first time in suitable conditions, but as with all new equipment.
To familiarize yourself with the FUNKY2 your first turns should be gradual and progressive. To make efficient and coordinated turns with the FUNKY2 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.
There may follow side thrust forward with a following wing collapse. 11.6 B stall The FUNKY2 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.
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 FUNKY2 may take one more turn after releasing the brake.
- If you detect a damaged line, inform the dealer or manufacturer about the line number according to the line plan - Keep your FUNKY2 in a bag in a dry well-ventilated place under neutral temperature and humidity conditions - If you do not use the glider, then once a month you should unpack it, ventilate it well, and then pack it back in the bag 17.
