!ATTENTION: never do big ears while you are making spirals.
5.2.
Spiral dive is another method of increasing significantly a sink
rate. Read §3.4. about the technique of spiral dive. Because of
growing of G-force don't use this method in a turbulent
conditions to prevent the overloading of the glider.
5.3.
Pull down symmetrically left and right B-risers about 20-30cm.
The canopy will enter a vertical descent flight with a sink rate
about 8-10m/s without horizontal speed.
To exit from B-line stall – release B-risers fast but not sharp.
Releasing B-risers slowly will extend the time of returning to a
normal flight. Don't apply brakes for 2-3 seconds after releasing
brakes – the canopy must gain it's normal horizontal speed.
We never experience situation when Vitamin doesn't exit from
B-line stall. But if such will occur – use a full stall to return to a
normal flight.
!ATTENTION: practice in all rapid descent maneuvers in a
stable air with enough of altitude with supervision of more
experienced pilot.
6. Maintenance and Repairs.
6.1.
Sort the lines and put them on to the canopy. Put V-lines out of
the canopy. Fold the canopy from both wingtips towards the
middle until a strip 50-60cm. Roll it from trailing edge and
secure by a strap.
