Schuwirth-Quadrant-Glider-Trainer

The Schuwirth-Quadrant-Glider-Trainer is for use with soaring flight simulator software like Condor3. It greatly enhances the feeling of being in the glider cockpit.  

It works great mounted on a sit-in glider simulator rig, or attached to the edge of a table or desk using the optional Condor-Desk-Mount.

Two Versions

• This Schuwirth-Quadrant-Glider-Trainer is recommended instead for flight training simulations.  The flaps are actuated using a "+/-" toggle switch, and a yellow "release" pull-handle enhances training.  The included Instructor Remote allows the instructor to sneakily override the airbrakes and release.  
• The Schuwirth-Quadrant-Glider-XC (on a separate webpage) version is ideal for cross-country soaring adventures. Having a flap handle is convenient when flying a flapped racing sailplane. A yellow button is usually used for the "release".

Features and Functions

• Yellow Release Pull-Handle - So cool!  Just like a real sailplane!
• Green Trim Lever
• Blue Airbrake slider
• Black Flaps +/- Toggle Switch - bump-in a little more or less flap
• Instructor Remote
  • Yellow Release Button
  • Blue Airbrake Slider - Press and hold the center grey button to enable this slider.  The instructor can sneakily open the airbrakes during the aerotow - or any time.

Features
