    To know yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inflations and ground handling in advance. You should have no difficulties flying the RHYTHM for the first time in suitable conditions, but as with all new equipment.
  • Page 9: In Flight Characteristics

    Don’t pull the rear-risers too much, to avoid a deep stall! 11. Deflations In spite of the RHYTHM has great stability of the flight, strong turbulence or piloting error may cause a portion of the wing suddenly to be a deflation. 11.1 Asymmetric collapse Asymmetric collapse usually happens when the pilot has not foreseen this possible reaction of the wing.
  • Page 10 There may follow side thrust forward with a following wing collapse. 11.6 B stall The RHYTHM has a very clean stable B stall. To enter the B stall, the pilot has to pull the first 20cm slowly until the r glider loses forward speed and starts to descend at around 6 m/s vertically.
  • Page 11: Descent Techniques

    The sink rate could be more than 15 m/sec. To get out of the spiral dive you must release the inner brake and use the outside brake to manage your sink rate. Mind that RHYTHM may take one more turn after releasing the brake.
  • Page 12: Maintenance And Cleaning

    Spread the RHYTHM completely out on the ground. Separate the lines to the each side. The RHYTHM must be folded cell to cell to keep the plastic reinforcement at the leading edge lie flat on each other and don’t get bent. Try to pack your RHYTHM as loosely as the rucksack allows, because every fold weakens the fabric.

    - If you detect a damaged line, inform the dealer or manufacturer about the line number according to the line plan - Keep your RHYTHM in a bag in a dry well-ventilated place under neutral temperature and humidity conditions - If you do not use the glider, then once a month you should unpack it, ventilate it well, and then pack it back in the bag 17.
