occurs comparatively smoothly. Therefore, this speed range
must be avoided!
The control lines should not be released during the whole flight
phase!
The manufacturer has trimmed the glider to medium/high speed.
If you increase your speed up to the maximum by using the
speed system you will push forward significantly faster and stay
higher when flying across or into wind (better penetration). In
doing so, keep hold of the brakes in the high position and be
ready to rapidly release the accelerator in the case of a deflation,
which means you go back to original position and prepare to
intervene via the brakes.
The benefit of the foot bar is that an impending tuck can be
recognised by sudden reduction of pressure on the foot bar and
often avoided by rapid release.
The potential acceleration distance of 10 cm (Size M 12cm) leads
to high maximum speed. A collapse of one side of the airfoil will,
of course, bring about more dynamic reactions than at trim
speed.
Only use the foot bar when having sufficient ground clearance.
The high stability of the canopy during maximum speed should
not let you become foolhardy.
If you pay attention to this, you will have great fun with the
extended radius of action and the plus in safety through the high
speed range of the X-ONE.
The X-ONE shows direct response to the brakes and exhibits
high manoeuvrability.
The harmonic coupling of brake line distance and angle of bank
requires the pilot to also use the brake on the outer wing for
