Danny Danjal Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Has any one tried to add tip steering to ITV boxer GT yet as it looks easy modification by adding single line to last three trailing edge same length as break line from that point I am in the process of doing this and like to hear if any one has done this or is this is not recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I did the very same to a Dudek ReAction quite some time ago. It was a very good modification though not approved by Dudek. They subsequently brought out tip steering on the Nucleon under the guise ALC with a red ball instead of a toggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alan I have heard and seen some modes on some other gliders but within my group circle I am the only one flying Boxer GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Alan and Danny, where did you guys get the tip steering systems from? I quite like the idea of adding the toggles to my H3 which, rather dissapointingly, doesn't have them!

alan_k Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I actually bought the red balls (ooh err missus) and the line from Dudek. You just need a thin suspension line, as there is no weight on the line, plus a small toggle. I used a thin elastic bungee tied to the top of the risers to stop them floating away/getting tangled in anything. The Solo wing has the same arrangement though I can't get a clear picture to show it. Toggles like this would be suitable https://glidersports.com/shop/ozone-tip-steering-replacement-mini-toggle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Pictures showing the arrangement on the Solo: First pic shows the toggle with the line running through an extra ring attached to the B riser. 2nd pic shows the bungee attache to the bottom of the risers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made mini toggle big enough for two fingers and will be a second pulley or ring attached close to break pulley I will send picture later as wig is packed up and raining outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Jackson Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Perfect, thank you both! It'll take a bit of care to ensure line lengths work trimmed in and trimmed out (on bar) but the new combined brake/tip steer on the H3 is pretty crappy in my opinion. I much prefer the dedicated toggles I have on my snake and Nuc xx. Fly safe chaps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly safe chaps Hi Lee thanks for feedback I have made separate line and separate mini toggle and kept the line extra long to adjust later once I have checked in flight I do prefer my hands below my shoulders to be comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
