These Kiterisers are a different way to change the angle of attack of your glider, just as you do with trimmers or speedbar, but the difference is that you adjust it instantly with your arms and without being able to pull the brakes-only when the angle of attack is low.
Effectively the brakes are moving along with A B and C on a defined scheme directed by the number and location of the pulleys.
In our system, A being static, B move 1/3rd of the travel of the C which move 1/3rd of the travel of the brake toggles.
The total throw up will be adjustable by a small stopper ball that you can lock via an Allen key along the C pulley travel.
As you can imagine, a 10m2 and a 25m2 don’t have the same chord therefore, the impact on the angle of attack (called AOA on the rest of this explanation) will be more important on a small chord with the same amount of “hands up”.
These Kiterisers are compatible on the list of LittleCloud gliders you can find on our webpage.
Reflex or not Reflex, that is the question?
In the mind of a lot of pilots, Kiterisers can only work with reflex profiles!
Fortunately for us, Marketing is not always the truth.
On all paragliders you can adjust the AOA with trimmers or speedbar, so why would it be a problem with Kiterisers?
Reflex?
Reflex profile: Reflex is qualification for a profile that have tendency to increase its AOA when you leave it “free” (Cm positive).
The amount of reflex is not a binary data, it’s an airfoil characteristic depending on a lot of factors on its design (intrados/extrados/camber…).
In no case, these profiles are 100% collapse proof. They will all at some stage, often without warning, generally at low AOA, and with pretty bad recovery behaviour.
Limits of use/Warnings
These Kiterisers are designed for soaring, not for Speedflying/Speedriding (i.e. flying downhill close to the ground, full speed) nor acrobatics, nor Paramotor!
They are not recommended to pilots without experience in soaring a Miniwing.
Be aware that soaring in the mountains can be turbulent. If you know your spot and it’s not turbulent, no problem!
We don’t recommend you use it for thermaling.
Never try to take off with tail wind!
Avoid any turbulent air.
This system doesn’t change the flying mechanical rules nor the gravity!
Active Flying is a must to prevent any collapse to happen as no airfoil is collapse-proof nor any pilots should rely on the canopy to push limits of physics.
You must practice on the ground before flying until you are 100% familiar with this new system. You should be able to rise/control/play/have no deflation with your wing above the head, without getting any sort of deflations.
You must strictly follow LittleCloud recommendations on the model’s compatibility and the adjustments of the brakes and throw up limiter.
Any flying outside this envelop is strictly the responsibility of the pilot and in no way LittleCloud/DLCO responsibility can be engaged.
