Correct use of the speed system and trimmers is very important with reflex profiles. Therefore,
study closely the comments with Figs. 13a – 13d, which show the various settings and positions.
Closed trimmers (Fig. 13a)
Because of the Falcon’s high trim
speed, we recommend selecting the

launch and landing (the D-riser is
shortened by 30 mm).
This setting is also suitable for
flying in thermals because of the
reduced sink rate.

WARNING
When the trimmers are closed, use of the
speed bar is forbidden. This configuration
produces an extremely unstable profile and
there is the risk of front stall or other
extreme flight manoeuvres.
