maggyrider 10 #1 October 1, 2015 As it seems the front- and rearrisers in this video (https://www.facebook.com/clifford.steele/videos/10207891790072249/) are connected just below the dive loops. I have never seen anything like this before. Does anyone know the advantage of doing this? Also... F***ing nice turn!Nice words are not always true - and true words are not always nice.

TommyBotten 0 #2 October 1, 2015 It doesn't look like it's sewn together. It looks more like it's another set of loops. Still not sure what it's for though. See attached screenshot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stayhigh 2 #7 October 1, 2015 Have you ever flown speed wing? I have flown Gin Fluid which had front riser trim tab and Swing Mirage and Spitfire which had rear riser trim tab. From my experience rear riser trim tabs are much easier to operate when under load. How was your experience with paraglider wings which had these tabs long time ago?Bernie Sanders for President 2016 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, I speedride, speedfly a lot ... A big reason to have it on the front for me is safety. Sometimes these trim systems slip , or fail. If the front sytem slips, it wil make the trim of your wing flatter,. If the rear system fails, It wil make the angle of the wing steeper... I wouldnt want that on a small wing in my last turn...
