The linesystem The lines of the U Prime 2 are made of strong and stretch resistant Liros PPSL, Teijin Aramid and Liros DSL. The lines of each level have specific colors to help you to sort the lines and for better orientation The risers (accelerated/ not accelerated): The 4 level risers of the U Prime 2 are adjusted on the same length -the zero position.This allows an uncomplicated handling at start. 12 The brakeline is running through the pulleys on the D-risers to the brake handles. The brake pulley is attached to a strap, to give the pilot the biggest freedom in choosing the best...

Suitable Harnesses The testflights for the certification were flown with a classical harness. Any certified harness with a hang point at about chest height may be used with a U Prime 2. Please note: the hang point position changes the position of the brakes relative to the pilots body. The distance between left and right main carabiner should be between 45 and 60cm, depending on the size of the pilot and the type of the harness. The Aircross test crew prefers flying with low hang point and wide distance between main carabiners, to get a maximum of feedback from the wing. CAUTION! CROSS...

Adjustment possibilities All line and riser length of the U Prime 2 were factory checked with a high precision. In a multilevel Qualitycheck each glider is checked again before shipment. There is no need for you to trim your glider. Regarding flight performance, handling and safety your U Prime 2 is optimally trimmed. Every change in line length or risers will render its certification and warranty invalid. Brakes The main brake line lengths of the U Prime 2 have been fine tuned by Aircross test pilots, and it should not be necessary to adjust them. In soaring flight, it is common to fly...

Brake range The U Prime 2 has a very pleasant handling with middleshort brakelengths. The U Prime 2 has an relative high progression of brake pressure ( the more you brake, the more power you need to pull). Every pilot has to find the best brake adjustments, regarding the used harness and the body size otherwise he gets tired. In the region between shoulder- und breast is hard to make powerful brake manouvres, because there the arms are in an area between pulling and pushing. This area should be avoided as main brake area, when using harnesses with low hang point position or very big pilots...

Speed System It is important to have your accelerator system correctly routed through your harness and attached to the risers with the supplied Brummel hooks. The length of the speed bar should be initially adjusted while on the ground, sitting in the harness so that the legs are fully extended at the point of full accelerator travel. It is helpful to have an assistant hold the risers taut while making this adjustment. Subsequent fine tuning can be done on the ground following the first flight with the speed system. If in doubt about this procedure, consult your instructor or dealer. The...
