After initial adjustment of the accelerator to leg length and to the har-
ness, fi ne adjustment is carried out by individual confi guration of the
2-phase speed system: moving the knot which locks the ball (see ball
in the illustration) enables the speed bar extension distance and
2
pressure to be adjusted to both leg length and leg position.
Example: If the knot is moved downwards, the transition from triple
to double transfer occurs earlier, increasing the pressure and
shortening the leg extension distance. If, on the other hand, the
knot is moved upwards, the double transfer acts later and the leg
extension distance is increased.
Optimum adjustment of the 2-phase system enables a smooth triple
transfer with bent legs and an effi cient double transfer with out-
stretched legs.
The OMEGA 7's speed system is designed in such a way that the
profi le shape in accelerated fl ight, that is to say with changed angle of
attack, is fully maintained at all times. This means that the favourable
profi le characteristics remain effective at high speed.
The separation of the outermost A-riser allows the acceleration to be
fi ne-tuned, in order to increase the stability of the wing tip in accele-
rated fl ight.
