In this handbook we have divided the flying instructions into three
chapters:
1. flight characteristics
2. rapid descent techniques
3. extreme flight manoeuvres
The latter deals with the special characteristics of your "SWING-
MISTRAL" but its execution demands some degree of experience.
We strongly discourage acrobatic display flying. We strongly
recommend safety training, for which your dealer will provide
information.
Zero Position
The "SWING-MISTRAL" comes with a foot-operated speed bar.
The canopy has been trimmed in such a way that it is always in
the zero position unless you have adjusted it. Zero position is
used as a starting point in describing all other positions.
Best Glide
Best glide is achieved in calm air and light pressure on speed
bar.
The stronger the head wind the more you should apply
pressure to your speed bar. A light vibration of the leading edge is
to be expected when the speed bar is fully depressed however
this is not dangerous and there is no need to be concerned
Minimal descent
This can be achieved with 20 -30 % braking. The harder you
brake the less you advance and the more you descend. This is
very useful when preparing to land. If you do a shallow turn in
thermals, brake "SWING-MISTRAL" on both sides and correct the
radius of the circle by the outermost side.
