MOVABLE HANG POINT - 4

INTRODUCTION The movable hang point system (hereinafter referred as trim system) is designed and developed by our Swiss dealer Markus Eggimann. The trim system enables to move the hang point along the keel tube, allowing the pilot to vary CG of the glider in flight from aft to forward position. The aft CG is good to maximize the climb rate when climbing in relatively weak thermals. The forward CG position enables to increase safety when climbing and gliding, specially in strong and rough conditions and increase comfort on glide by reducing the bar pressure. Positioning the CG in between aft...

THE TRIM SYSTEM OPERATION The trim system is easy to operate in flight by engaging the additional rope and the clam cleat on the left side of the speed bar. Pulling the trim rope along the speedbar will move the hang point forward and trim speed of the glider will increase. To return the hang point to the aft position set the VG to off position and release the trim rope from the clamcleat. The hang point will move backwards automatically. The recommended trim speed with the trim system in aft position is 32 – 35 km/h. The recommended trim speed with the trim system in forward position is 40...

MAINTENANCE The trim system doesn’t require special maintenance except taking care to keep it clean. When you set up or break down your glider, take care not to allow sand, soil and dirt to enter the sail. Keep all pulleys, especially the ball rail system thoroughly clean as moving the hang point will become difficult or impossible if they are dirty. The trim system cables must be maintained in good condition. The trim system is a part of a hang glider. See in the hang glider Manual the chapter “Maintenance” for more detailed maintenance description. With proper care and maintenance, your...
