FLIGHT MANUAL
Turning flight stalls
When stalled during a coordinated 45° banked turn with the c/g at an aft position,
the sailplane rolls slightly into the turn and, when easing the stick forward, slightly
drops its nose - thereafter a normal flying attitude is regained by applying oppo-
site rudder and aileron. There is no uncontrollable tendency for the sailplane to
enter a spin.
The loss of height from the beginning of the stall until regaining a normal level
flight attitude is approx. up to 80 m (262 ft).
With the c/g in foremost position, the sailplane just stalls without dropping its
nose or a wing.
Influence of water ballast
Apart from the higher mass in flight (i.e. a higher stalling speed), water ballast in
the wing tanks has no aggravating influence on the stall characteristics.
The loss of height from the beginning of the stall until regaining a normal level
flight attitude is approx. up to 80 m (262 ft).
With water ballast in the (optional) fin tank, the stall characteristics are like those
found for aft c/g positions.
