You will not have to wrap the brake lines around your hand to get greater braking efficiency.

    4.2 POssIBle CONFIGUrATIONs ICePeAK 3 is a competition glider, and as such the brake travel is not excessive, any reaction to a control input is immediate. Any corrective We recommend that training to master these manoeuvres be carried out action such as pumping the brakes must be carried out quickly so not to induce a full stall.

    would cause the glider to surge violently forward with great energy and may Generally speaking, the reactions of the wing, which follow over handling, result in the wing below the pilot. It is very important that the pressure are neither due to the input made or the intensity, but the length of time on the brake lines is maintained until the wing is well established vertical the pilot continues to over handle.

The sunlight may damage the materials of your wing and cause premature aging. once you have landed, do not leave the wing in the sun, store it properly. if you use your if the wing is damaged, you can temporarily repair it by using the self-adhesive rip wing in a sandy area, try to avoid the sand from entering the cell openings of the stop which you will find in the repair kit, providing no stitches are involved in the tear.
