FEEDBACK

Hey Martin, Great job with the tandem, mate. I had four flights today, and it felt great! Nil wind forward launch was easier, and it didn’t hang back as before. It climbed to base beautifully with a light load and some scratching and felt much better on the landings. Thank you!!!! Malcolm Hughson(Bluey)

✂️ Do Modern Gliders Still Need Trimming? ✂️

Over the past few years, manufacturers have come a long way in improving line stability. Materials have improved, designs have evolved, and many gliders now come from the factory slightly faster to offset initial line shrinkage. Some even use mixed line materials to delay the effects of trim drift.

As a result, I’m seeing more gliders with 20–40 hours still within factory tolerance. That’s a big step forward!

👉 But here’s the thing:
Even though lines may technically still be "in spec," there's almost always room for improvement in trim around the 20-hour mark. If you don’t trim at 20 hours, chances are your glider will drift out of spec by the time it hits 100 hours. If you fly around 100 hours every two years, that’s not a big deal — your scheduled full service will take care of it.

But if you're logging 100+ hours a year, you might be flying out of trim for an entire year before your next service. That’s a lot of airtime on a glider that’s not flying quite like it should.

🪂 What does this mean in real terms?
In my experience — and based on feedback from pilots I’ve trimmed gliders for — not trimming your EN B glider won’t usually cause a major safety issue. But the difference in handling, pitch stability, and overall glide can be noticeable. A freshly trimmed wing just feels better — more responsive, more balanced, more like new.

💡 Think of it like wheel balancing on your car:
You don’t have to balance your wheels all the time. The car will still get you from A to B. But a properly balanced wheel gives you a smoother, safer, more predictable ride — especially if you're pushing limits. The same goes for gliders.

🚨 Important note:
Trimming only works on lines that have settled. You can’t trim a brand-new glider effectively. But once those lines have had time to settle (usually 20–40 hours), a trim will often last 100–150 hours, depending on the line type.

If you're flying regularly and want your glider to perform like it did on day one, don't underestimate the value of a good trim.
