CONTROL SETTINGS ON THE FLARE SYSTEM
Best glide position:
The FLARE LINE has its best glide ratio when you
pull your control handles to the same level of the
ends of your risers.
Full speed position:
Your ‘full speed’ position is when you fully release
the control handle until they are limited by the
pulley from the C-Riser. (Always keep your hands
in the control loops).
Minimum speed position:
If you pull the control handles lower (20-30cm)
than the end of the risers, you are very close to
the stall speed. (Never fly at ‘minimum speed’
position close to the ground, as there is no speed
left for a FLARE. Always allow yourself enough
manoevring room for a flare landing. Otherwise
you have to take into account a high speed-and
sink rate.).

3 RISER / FLARE SYSTEM
The “FLARE System” is a matrix of pulleys around the B and C lines and
combines the control handles with the accelerator in the control handles.
This allows controlling the FLARE LINE with just your hands.
The C-level moves with a ratio of 1/2,5 of the control travel.
The B-level moves with a ratio of 1/5 of the control travel.
That means you can fully adjust your glide ratio by completely changing
the angle of attack of your wing. This combination was the key to success.
Your control handle is connected to the elastic “Free Control” line at the
attachment point of the riser. This means you always have quick and
reliable access to the control handles!
DON’T release the control handle while flying and always
stay in the control loops.
DON’T adjust the setting on your control main line (this
is a tool to trim your FLARE LINE after many flying hours,
and we recommend that it is only adjusted by FLARE
itself or one of our FLARE-PARTNER).
NEVER steer the FLARE LINE by ONLY
pulling the main control line. Always
steer in combination with the c-pulley
line and the main control line.
