FLIGHT PHASIS
In flight
Once in flight, the DELIGHT 4 behaviour is intuitive and stable.
Please set the distance between the two carabiners according to aerology and to the wing manufacturer's recommendations.

Speedbar use

We recommend a cautious speed-bar use due to the increased risk of major partial or full frontal collapses.
Use the speed-bar/accelerator ( transitions ) only when far away from the ridge and in calm weather conditions as the wing becomes more
sensitive to turbulence when accelerated. If you feel a loss of tension in the speed-bar/accelerator, stop pushing it and apply a light brake
pressure on the toggles to prevent the glider from experiencing a potential frontal collapse.
To properly use the speed-bar, keep one foot at the foot-rest center space, and push with the second foot on the first speed-bar to obtain
a symmetrical acceleration. Use one foot for the first stage and the other for the second stage.
To decelerate, stop pushing and gradually release the accelerator/speedbar tension.

Landing

When making a landing approach, take your legs out of the Speedbag well in advance. Stand up inside the harness and adopt an upright
position in order to run and dissipate the horizontal speed.
Always be certain to have enough altitude to make a landing approach corresponding to the weather conditions of the moment and
terrain.
During the landing approach, never make hasty maneuvers. Always land upwind in a standing posture and be ready to run upon
touchdown if necessary.
During high wind speed landings, turnaround and face the wing as soon as ground contact is made and move toward the wing while
braking symmetrically to deflate it.
Do not land in a seated position as it is dangerous.
