Page 27: In Flight
Harness User’s manual Flight phases In flight Once airborne, the Delight2 becomes instinctive and precise to handle. Please set the distance between the two carabiners according to aerology and to the wing manufacturer’s recom- mendations. Tightening the chest-strap provides more stability but less piloting efficiency while increasing the risk of riser twisting. On the contrary, loosening the strap provides more efficiency but can be dangerous in turbulent aerology (increased risk of falling towards the col- lapsed side of your glider). -
Page 28: Using The Reserve Parachute

This exercise should be executed instinctively and will increase your chances of a successful parachute extraction in case of an emergency.. Estimate your AGL ( Altitude Above Ground Level ), which if high enough may make it worth trying to bring your wing back to a normal flying configuration. -
