Easy Big Ear System - Nova PHOR2 Betriebshandbuch

Easy Big Ear system:

The NOVA PHOR2 is equipped with an „Easy Big Ear System" which enables
easy collapsing of the wing tips (= ears).
Function:
An additional line leads to the outer A line. On this line runs a pulley connected
with a red handle. Pulling the handle shortens the A-lines by the double amount
and the wing tips are collapsing.
Usage:
To collapse the wing tips, take both handles out of the rubber loops fixing them on
the A-risers. Pull them symmetrically, keeping the brake handles in your hand. To
improve the effect, you can open the trimmers first.
The glider remains controllable by pulling the brakes slightly or by shifting the
weight in the harness.
To reinflate the wing tips and get back to normal flight, just let go the red handles
of the „big ear system". The wing tips reinflate on their own. Eventually you can
give a short symmetric brake impulse to speed up the reinflation (specially when
you're on the bottom limit of the weight range).
