NOTE: The standard or neutral position of the risers is when the trimmers are pulled down to the

slowest position. In this position the maillons on the risers are level.

IMPORTANT

This wing has passed the

criteria required by the

DGAC and has been load

tested to the EN 926.1

standard. In addition to our

own extensive testing, the

24, 26 and 28 sizes have

also been independently

ight tested to the EN

926.2 standard with the

trimmers set to the slow

position. Releasing the

trimmers, or ying outside

of the EN certied weight

range invalidates any EN

ight certication.

RISERS

*Sizes24,26and28

IMPORTANT

In order to be able to use

the trimmers and access

the full speed range of the

wing, the trimmer locking

maillons must be removed

before ight.

IMPORTANT

If you adjust the brake

handle height, you

MUST re-lengthen

the brake lines

accordingly.

Brake Lines

Thebrakelinelengthshavebeensetcarefullyduringtesting.Wefeelitisbettertohaveslightlylongbrake

linesandtoywithawrap(oneturnoflinearoundthehand).However,ifyoudochoosetoadjusttheir

lengthpleasekeepinmindthefollowing:

•Ensurebothmainbrakelinesareofequallength.

•Ifabrakehandlehasbeenremoved,checkthatitslineisroutedthroughthepulleywhenitisreplaced.

•Whenthebrakesarefullyreleasedinight,thebrakelinesshouldbeslack.Theremustbeasubstantial

•Theremustbeaminimumof10cmoffreeplaybeforethebrakesbegintodeformthetrailingedge.This

preventsthetrailingedgefrombeingdeformedwhenusingthespeedsystem.

Adjustable Brake Pulley Position

Theheightofthebrakelinepulleycanbeadjustedaccordingtopilotpreferenceandtosuitethepower

unit’shangpointsheight.Highersettingsareforlowhangpointmotorswhilstamiddleorlowersetting

areforunitswithhigherhangpoints.

Toadjustthepulleyheight,rstremovethepulleysfromtherisersandre-attachatthedesiredposition,

thenundotheVelcromagnetattachmentsandre-attachafewcmsbelowthenewpulleyposition.Ifyou

10cmrequiresanadditional10cmtobeaddedtotheoverallbrakelinelengths(measuredfromthemark

onthelines).

IMPORTANT

In the unlikely

event of a brake line

snapping in ight, or

a handle becoming

detached, the glider

can be own by

gently pulling the rear

risers (C-risers) for

directional control.

IMPORTANT

The Mojo PWR 2 24, 26

& 28 are certied EN A

with the accelerator,

but with the trimmers

set to the slow

position. Releasing

the trimmers, or

ying outside of the

certied weight range

invalidates EN ight

certication.

IMPORTANT

It is strongly

recommended to

not perform deeply

engaged, high sink

rate spirals when

ying with a trike.

IMPORTANT

Do not y your wing

when it is wet.

IMPORTANT

Do not perform

aerobatic manoeuvres.

IMPORTANT

During SIV set the

trimmers to the slow

IMPORTANT

Using the accelerator

decreases the angle

of attack and makes

the wing more prone

to collapse, therefore

using the accelerator

near the ground or in

turbulent conditions

should be avoided.

NOTE

It is recommended

to pilot the wing with

the rear risers during

accelerated ight.

IMPORTANT

Never initiate a turn at

minimum speed (i.e.

with full brakes on) as

you could risk entering

a spin.

IMPORTANT

Never apply the

brakes whilst ying at

full speed - it makes

the wing more prone

to collapse.

MPORTANT

The pitching movement

on exiting the B stall is

small but necessary.

We recommend you do

not brake the glider

until you are sure that

the glider is ying

properly

again.

IMPORTANT

Always be prepared

to pilot the wing out

of a spiral dive. Use

opposite weight shift

and apply enough

outside brake to

stop the wing from

spiralling.
