Track Systems
Track systems are the most
versatile types of flying systems available (and there are more
variations of track systems than any other type of system too). Track
systems provide controlled horizontal (along the axis of the track) and
vertical movement of the performer. The gimbaled trolley on our
single-wire
NAB track system also permits long pendulum flights in any
directions. Our two-wire
NAB track systems use two independent lifting wires,
unlike some companies that just use a single wire with the performer
attached to both ends of the same wire. Two independent wires mean more
safety, and great stability for flying Miss Gulch on her bicycle or
Glenda on her bubble. Our NAB systems can be used in theatres of any
height and requires two operators. Our single wire systems can
outfitted with a spreader
bar and two wires for the ultimate in
acrobatic flying systems. We also have other track systems
that meet other special needs.
Motorized and Other Flying Systems
All of our systems can have motorized lifts
instead of manual lifts, and can lift the performer at a rate of up to
10 feet per second, which is pretty darn fast. A flying winch is
really great for very long lifts and we have done 100-foot lifts with
winches. One
operator per winch is required.
D2 Flying Effects has other
systems designed to meet specific flying needs and we are constantly
developing new ones. We recentely added a remote
controlled turnabout unit for our two wire track systems
to our equipment inventory. This unit allows an operator to
control the
direction that the performer faces (within a 180 degree range) via a
joystick. We have also built custom-systems
to meet the needs of our clients who perform in very large venues.
D2 Flying Effects can design
and build flying systems to meet any need.
