shallow circles. Narrow, steep turns can be flown out of full
speed by pulling one steering line, or with brakes applied by
simultaneous release of the brake on the outside wing.
Flying with low angle of bank, for instance when climbing slowly,
requires applying some brakes on the outside wing or keeping
the brake on the outside wing down.
Caution: Never initiate turns at minimum speed (with full brakes),
you will run the risk of spinning!
The ARCANE responds very well to using weight shift: By
leaning to the side that is producing the turn, your ARCANE’s
willingness to turn will be increased.
A helpful hint for more skilled pilots who already have developed
a feeling for the stall point in turning: For climbing in weak lift with
lowest bank - and a big enough radius of turn - it is favourable to
intensify the load on the outside wing by weight shifting.
Once you have found an appropriate body of thermals, centre
with toggles pulled about 20-25 cm in order to turn as shallow as
possible.
The region to fly is the range of minimum sink. The canopy
performs narrow turns and transforms thermals directly into
altitude. It is recommended to keep some brake applied on the
outside wing. By varying the amount of braking, you can prevent
tip deflations and also effectively control the angle of bank.
If thermals are very narrow and strong a higher speed and bank
angle will be helpful. The brake on the outside wing is now
being released.
Especially in wind-shifted thermals, sufficient speed must be
flown. Try to keep to the windward edge of the thermal by
expanding the headwind semi-circle and turning tightly with
tailwind. If you drop out of the thermal on the windward side, you
will tend to descend back into it because it is tilted downwind
whereas falling out on the lee side results in greatest loss of
altitude and makes it most complicated to return into the
upcurrent (probably only possible by lateral detour or extremely
accelerated flying).
