Aeros Movable CG
http://www.aeros.com.ua/news.php?lang=english&id=253 or http://aeros.com.ua/ and hit "Movable CG" under Aeros News
This year we have started to use the new revolutionary system with
movable CG hang point on our gliders. The system was designed and developed by
our Swiss dealer Markus Eggimann and was tested in different competitions by our
top pilots: Primoz Gricar, Christian Voiblet, Franz Hermann and other pilots.
The system enables to move the hang point along the keel tube, allowing the
pilot to vary CG of the glider in flight from aft to forward position. The aft
CG is good to maximize the climb rate when climbing in relatively weak thermals.
The forward CG position enables to increase safety when climbing and gliding,
specially in strong and rough conditions and increase comfort on glide by
reducing the bar pressure. The system is easy to operate by engaging the
additional rope and the clam cleat on the left side of the speed bar.

Their site doesn't show the system or mention it beyond the latest
news. My Combat CG point is a tower with a swiveling lever where the dual hang
strap is attached. There are three CG holes for adjustment through the keel.
Maybe Sunny Venesky can fill us in on the latest.
