Brake line adjustment

The main brake line lengths of the BOBCAT 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.

In soaring flight, it is common to fly with half a wrap on the brakes and hold the handles on the

knot. However, care should be taken to release the wraps in any extreme situation.

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 BOBCAT is delivered with a rucksack and a harness specifically designed for carrying

comfort and ease of use.

Your harness

The BOBCAT was developed with the BOBCAT harness, specific to Speedflying. We recommend

that you use the BOBCAT solely with this harness.

Adjusting the chest strap controls the distance between the carabiners of the two risers, which

has an influence on the glider’s behaviour.

There is no need to use the BOBCAT with a tight chest strap adjustment, as there is no tendency

to feel unstable.
