They come in different diameters of Kevlar and Dyneema with sheathed cover. They must to be
inspected every 100 hours maximum.
In case of Brake lines, it was cut a little longer, so every pilot can adjust it according to his
personal taste.
But you must always leave 10cm before the brakes line starts acting in order to avoid trailing
edge deformation when the wing is fully trim opened. In case the brake handle comes loose
during ight or any brake lines is cut you can use the D riser softly for directional control instead
of brake line.
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 inate without any overshooting.
As a result, the take off characteristics are very smooth, straightforward, easy, forgiving and
require no special skills.
You can be accelerated in ight using the trimmers which make low angle of attack and increase
the ying speed. DUET trimmers provide you with more satisfying ight on windy days.
We advise you to use this trimmers carefully and do not use in turbulent and strong thermal
conditions. During full trim condition should be meet the dynamic reaction ight of the wing
in case of collapse.
To know yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inations and ground
handling in advance.
You should have no diculties ying the DUET for the rst time in suitable conditions, but as
with all new equipment.
When you have the new glider, the below points should be inspected.
- Check the lines are clear and not twisted.
- Connection points between the glider and harness.
- All harness buckles are closed.
- The Karabiners are fully closed and not damaged.
- The sewing, condition of the lines and connection of the lines are right
- Internal demage to ribs and diagonal ribs.
- Demage to the top and bottom panels and seams between panels.
