If you pulled the brakes further down whilst parachuting, the
canopy would tilt backwards while deflating at the same time.
This is what you take advantage of when landing: The canopy is
stalled dynamically - stall and ground contact occur
synchronously.
In every other situation the full stall is an unpredictable and
dangerous flight configuration which should not be flown
intentionally.
Since the ARCANE provides very long brake distances up to the
full stall point, an unintentional dynamic stall can be excluded to
a large extent.
Caution: Never release brakes out of the backward tilt at the
beginning of the full stall! You run the risk of the canopy
accelerating below yourself which would result in contact with
the canopy or even falling into the canopy.
In the stalled condition, the ARCANE performs a strong flapping
movement with the outer wings. The effect of this movement is
transferred to the pilot via the brakes. Safe recovery is performed
smoothly and with medium speed out of a forward movement of
the canopy. Here, the brakes must be released fully, in order to
allow the glider to regain speed. In rare cases a frontal or
asymmetric deflation can occur (see above).
A stall occurring at one side of the canopy leads to a spinning
motion (spin, negative turn). In a spin the axis of rotation lies
within the canopy and the glider turns in the horizontal plane.
You fall into a spin when the brakes are pulled too abruptly out of
trim speed as well as out of slowed speed.
This transition from normal turn to spinning is relatively smooth
with the ARCANE. By releasing the brake on the inside of the
turn you will regain laminar flow and the ARCANE continues with
the positive rotation.
