Aeros recommends that no attempt should ever be made to deliberately spin the glider.
The stability, controllability, and structural strength of a properly maintained Combat have been determined to be
adequate for safe operation when the glider is operated within the entire manufacturer specified limitations. No warranty
of adequate stability, controllability, or structural strength is made or implied for operation outside of these limitations.
Operation of the glider by unqualified pilots may be dangerous.
Operating the Combat outside of the above limitations may result in injury and death. Flying the Combat in the
presence of strong or gusty winds, or turbulence may result in loss of control of the glider, which may lead to injury and
death.
Do not fly in such conditions unless you realize and wish to personally assume the associated risks.
ATTENTION! We do not recommend using Combat for motorized and aerobatic flights.
It requires recommended pilot proficiency not less than pilot rating +40 hours or equivalent Safe Pro
rating to fly Combat.
