spiral the pilot should first weight-shift to the outside and then brake slightly more on the
outside.
ATTENTION: In a stable spiral the G-forces are very high. Be aware that it may therefore
require considerable more input and effort to recover from this state.
ATTENTION: When exiting a spiral too fast the conversion of energy may result in the glider
climbing quickly and entering its own turbulence. This may cause the glider to collapse. We
advise that you allow the EAZY to exit from the spiral dive in a controlled manner.
You should take care to use only moderate spirals so as not to put unnecessary load on you
and your lines.
IMPORTANT SATEFY NOTICE! A pilot who is dehydrated and/or not accustomed to spiralling
can lose consciousness during a steep spiral dive!
ii. B-line stall
This is an effective way of making a moderate to
rapid descent but doesn't allow any forward
speed.
Initiation: Take hold of the B-risers (both sides at
same time) just above the maillons and slowly but
smoothly pull them down, twisting your hands
until the canopy shows a span-wise crease at the
B-line attachment points and stops flying
forward. It is difficult to pull at first but becomes
easier as the airfoil creases. Your sink rate will
increase while your forward speed will reduce to
practically zero.
Recovery: Let go of the risers smoothly but
determinedly and symmetrically, the glider will
speed up and gain forward movement. The
brakes are kept in your hands at all time during
this manoeuvre. When exiting take care not to
pull the brakes.
ATTENTION: IF THE B-RISERS ARE PULLED DOWN
TOO MUCH THE WING MAY LOOSE ITS SPANWISE
FORM OR THE TIPS COME IN FRONT OF THE
CENTRE OF THE WING. IN THIS INSTANCE THE B-
RISERS MUST BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY.
iii. "Big-ears"
This is the easiest and safest technique for
descent while maintaining forward speed. Depending on how much of the wing-tip you deflate,
3m/s to 5m/s sink rate can be achieved. While in big-ears your forward speed can be increased
by using the speed system. To use big-ears with speed system pull the ears in first and then
push the speed bar. To recover release the speed bar first and then open the ears.
The tendency for the wing to collapse is reduced while flying with big-ears.
The EAZY can be steered with big ears in by weight-shift alone.
