O % Position
30 % Position
80 % Position
Caution: Even though the EPSILON 6 has a high degree of
stability in accelerated flight you should only use as much
speedbar as you feel comfortable with.
Info: According to the table for best glide you should fly to
an expected 0.5 m/s climb with 30% accelerate, and to a 1.5
m/s one with 80%. This only applies if you can actually get all
the way to the next thermal in the accelerated condition.
Info: Although flying into a headwind (15-20 km/h) gives
you the feeling that your gliding performance is being badly
affected, bear in mind that strong sink (more than 2m/s) has
a relatively stronger adverse affect.
Adjusting the speed system
The EPSILON 6 speed system can, with the help of the SPI, be
adjusted so that the whole speed system travel can be used. The
system is correctly set when pushing the first speed step gives you
the 30% position, and pushing the second achieves 80% accelerate.
Both toes fully extended should then reach 100% (pulleys block to
block).
