Vers.1.0 S. 20 / 30
We suggest adjusting the length quite long and then try to estimate the free
travel in flight to shorten it after the flight.
Using the accelerator in flight
If you push the speed travel all the way, the ION LIGHT will gain
approximately 12km/h speed. (Compared to “hands off”speed) It makes sense
to use the accelerator when flying into a headwind or through sinking air – or
simply to move forward faster.
Attention:
It doesn’t make sense to apply the brakes during accelerated flight. This will
reduce the glide performance considerably, and it will make the wing more
unstable. (Unlike in non accelerated flight!)
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 & B risers will get shorter
as follows:
19cm for the ION LIGHT 25 & 27
16cm for the ION LIGHT 21 & 23
14cm for the ION LIGHT 19
The C riser reduces its length by exactly half of the value of the A&B riser. The
D riser remains the same length.
