This is a way of descending at approx. 5 mps. It's advantage is
that it allows you to steer with precision. Start by bulling the A
riser down until about half the canopy has collapsed. Keep the
riser stable at hip height, by working with opposed braking. Use
this form of braking to steer your "SWING-MISTRAL". To finish,
QUICKLY release the A riser. You can accelerate the build-up of
the canopy by pumping gently on the brake.

3. Extreme Flight Manoeuvres
The following instructions describe in full the character of the
"MISTRAL". They will enable you to select the best way to
manoeuvre the glider out of extreme situations.
Note: "MISTRAL" hardly ever shoots out of extreme manoeuvres,
i.e. you need not stabilise the following situations by hard braking.
Instead braking might result that the "MISTRAL" returning to the
extreme situation. It is more important to give the canopy
sufficient time to open up and only use the slightest brake action
to supplement the canopy opening. In all these situations
remember that less braking is far better than too much braking.
The "SWING-MISTRAL" very quickly returns to its normal flying
position.
Full Stall
This may occur:
If you fly head on into a thermal whilst breaking hard.
When braking hard above 100 % (hands at seat height). Full
stall is indicated when the canopy softens in zero position and
then falls backwards. "SWING-MISTRAL" then stabilises in full
stall with its "ears" forwards above the pilot.
To achieve the full stall we recommend that you wrap the brake
lines round your wrists at least once. Press the brakes down
slowly until you
stop going forwards. As you keep applying the brakes the canopy
continues to fall backwards. It is most important that you DO NOT
