Setting Up the Sting 2 and Test-Flying

DANGER!
Variable brake pulley
The brake pulley can be moved freely on the
riser.
If the brake handle is still hard to reach
despite selecting the correct hang point on
the riser (e.g. with trimmers open), the brake
pulley can be pushed down. If this is done,
the main brake line must be lengthened by
the same amount which the pulley is moved,
otherwise the glider will be braked even if
the brakes are fully open.
In free flight, the brake pulley must always
be in the upper position and the length of the
brake lines must be adjusted to this (factory
setting for the brakes).
If the brake line pulley on the riser is
pushed down, then the main brake line
must be lengthened by the same amount,
otherwise the glider will be braked even if
the brakes are fully open.
Other devices
The Sting 2 does not have any other
adjustable, detachable or variable devices.
Suitable harnesses
For free flight, the Sting 2 can in principle be
used with harnesses with seat board which
have classification.
Tests have shown that the harness, harness
harness have a noticeable effect on a
height of the attachment points and their
separation distance. The general rule is that
the lower the attachment point, the more
agile the paraglider.
