Thermalling the Nucleon is safe at any trim setting. However
, the
best sink rate is achieved with the trims fully closed on slow
.
T
o
thermal in turbulence, appropriate release of the trims to a faster
setting is recommended to increase stability
.
In nil wind conditions, it is preferable to take of
f with the trims fully
closed on Slow
.
The stronger the wind, the faster the trim setting
towards the neutral "0" position. Faster trim settings can render the
take of
f dif
ficult or even impossible, depending on wind strength.
The
ALC steering balls allow for lighter handling when used
together with the brakes, especially useful at faster trim settings
and/or on speed bar
.
They can also be used on their own to
change direction, when not too low near the ground.
In case of harnesses using high hangpoints the
TEA
system can
be used for directional control as well, especially at fast trim and
speed system settings. It works in the same way as
TST
used in
our earlier paragliders. Remember though, that
TEA
must be
assembled on both sides to use it in this character
.
The speed bar should be used on faster trim settings. It should be
avoided on slow trims (zero or slower) when the wing is not in a
full reflex configuration, as the risk of collapse may be increased in
turbulence.
