angle of attack, as well as flight at lower airspeed because of the re-
duced wing loading .
To avoid the risk of deep stall with a wet glider you should brake as litt-
le as possible and never use big ears . A further preventative measure
is to fly with trimmers open .
These tactics have a small effect on the angle of attack . If the wet
glider were still to go into deep stall opening the trimmers is your only
recourse . See section “Deep stall” .
Winching
The BIBETA 6 is suitable for winch launching . When taking off in wind-
less conditions, ensure that the paraglider is laid out in an arched or
even wedge shape (to avoid risk of the glider rosetting) .
Winch launch is only permitted if::
§
the pilot has completed a tow training course (only Germany/
DHV),
§
the winch system is certified for use with paragliders,
§
the winch operator has been fully trained in how to winch
paragliders .
Acro
The BIBETA 6 was not designed as a tandem-acro wing . However, its
eagerness to turn and precise handling allows very nice wingovers,
asymmetric spirals and SATs to be flown . Even helicos have been
observed .
Be aware that dynamic manoeuvring puts heavy loading on the struc-
ture and can reduce your wing’s lifespan . Regular checks of the glider
become necessary for your safety . You should also take note of the
legal requirements of you country .
