FreeX X-ONE Betriebsanleitung Seite 91

This is what you take advantage of when landing: The canopy is
stalled dynamically - stall and ground contact occur
synchronously.
In every other situation the full stall is an unpredictable and
dangerous flight configuration which should not be flown
intentionally.
Since the X-ONE provides very long brake distances up to the
full stall point, an unintentional dynamic stall can be excluded to a
large extent.
Caution: Never release brakes out of the backward tilt at the
beginning of the full stall! You run the risk of the canopy
accelerating below yourself which would result in contact with the
canopy or even falling into the canopy.
In the stalled condition, the X-ONE performs a strong flapping
movement with the outer wings. The effect of this movement is
transferred to the pilot via the brakes. Safe recovery is performed
smoothly and with medium speed out of a forward movement of
the canopy. Here, the brakes must be released fully, in order to
allow the glider to regain speed. In rare cases a frontal or
asymmetric deflation can occur (see above).
A stall occurring at one side of the canopy leads to a spinning
motion (spin, negative turn). In a spin the axis of rotation lies
within the canopy and the glider turns in the horizontal plane.
You fall into a spin when the brakes are pulled too abruptly out of
trim speed as well as out of slowed speed.
This transition from normal turn to spinning is relatively smooth
with the X-ONE. By releasing the brake on the inside of the turn
you will regain laminar flow and the X-ONE continues with the
positive rotation.
Both brakes should be released out of a full spin so that the glider
catches up speed.
Caution: A spin is a dangerous, unpredictable flight manoeuvre
and should not be flown intentionally!
Should the case arise that out of a spin or stall movement a line-
entanglement or a tangled outside wing emerge, the resulting
