paulg18 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Ok so I may be a bit behind the times on the latest Wing technology but I was reading last months Cross Country mag and saw a photo of Alex Mateos flying what I think is a Ozone Viper 4 and tied on the centre of the brake handle there is another line which runs down to a small pulley on the carabiner and then back up to the wing. The photo doesn't show where it terminates at the top end so can someone explain what its for, it obviously creates slack in this line when the brake is pulled down.

alan_k Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 It's probably a form of 2D steering, but I've not seen it like that before. If it is 2D steering check this out https://www.dudek.eu/en/concepts/2d-steering-system.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishdylan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Some competition guys add additional trim lines to help them fly hands free; I note the chap in the photo has a map board and comp fuel bottle set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
