Brake line adjustment
The main brake line lengths of the FLUID are the same as on the sample that has been used by
the GIN R&D team. These line lengths have been fine tuned by GIN test pilots, and it should not
be necessary to adjust them.
If you do need to make adjustments to suit your harness, body and flying style, we strongly
recommend that you test fly the glider with every 2cm of adjustment. There should be a
minimum of 10cm of free brake travel when the glider is flown hands-off. We recommend a
double sheepshank or a bowline knot for the brake handle attachment as shown in the diagram.
Rucksack
The FLUID is delivered with the rucksack/harness FREERIDER, especially designed for ergonomic
carrying comfort and ease of use.
Your harness
The FLUID was developed with the FREERIDER harness specific to Speedriding. Before using your
glider with any other type of harness, please contact the harnesses’ manufacturer or dealer
should you have any question regarding it’s use.
Adjusting the chest belt controls the distance between the carabiners of the two risers, which
also has an influence on the glider’s behaviour.
There is no need to use the FLUID with a tight chest belt adjustment, as there is no tendency to
feel unstable.
