🪂Today is a rainy day⛈️ in Gudauri and it's time to prepare my paraglider Enzo for the next trip to the paragliding competitions, the qualifying stage of the World Cup (Pre PWC Fly Master open) will be held in Macedonia from June 4 to June 10. What I'm doing and why we need trim the glider, read below Trimming your paraglider: As your paraglider falls out of trim, certain performance characteristics important for safe flight are diminished. As the A’s & B’s stretch and the C’s & D’s shrink, your glider takes on a higher angle of attack. If you can picture how your speed bar decreases the AoA of your wing to increase its airspeed, an out of trim glider causes essentially the exact opposite effect. So the glider won’t inflate or kite like it should. It will also have diminshed performance in the air as it flies at a slower airspeed closer to the stall point. Bringing a paraglider back into trim allows it to fly as it was intended to. When to Trim: It’s recommended to get a paraglider trimmed after 100 hrs of flight time or two years, whichever comes first. The Process: Changes of a couple centimeters can affect the trim of a paraglider. Therefore, it’s crucial to be able to measure lines with accuracy down to the millimeter. All of the lines on your paraglider are measured using a laser device on a rail system with a 5 kg load for the most precise measurements possible. After measuring all of the lines, the results are analyzed in a spreadsheet. Check your gear on time and paragliding will be safe and enjoyable😉❤️ #Paragliding #paraglidingservice #georgiaparaglidingservice #paraglidingserviceingeorgia #skyatlantida #skyatlantidaparagliding #gudauri #gudauriparagliding #skyatlantidaparaglidingservice #georgiaparaglidingservice #paraglidingtrimgeorgia #trimparaglidergeorgia #paraglidertrimgeorgia #skyatlantidaparaglidertrim #trimparaglider #paraglidertuning (at Gudauri Ski Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce8dIT2D98i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
