Your first input for directional change should be weight-shift, followed by the smooth application of the brake until the desired bank angle is achieved. To regulate the speed and radius of the turn, coordinate your weight shift and use the outer brake.

www.flydavinci.com The asymmetric collapse usually happens when the pilot has not foreseen this possible reaction of the wing. Asymmetric collapses should be controlled by weight shifting away from the collapse and applying enough brake to control your direction. And you should use the brake to re-inflate the glider.

While holding the brakes you should symmetrically pull the outermost A-risers. In order to return to the normal flight, you should release the A-risers and pull the brake short times until wing tips regain pressure.
