1 .Turns and circling
The sailplane is very manoeuvreable and controllable and its behaviour
is very good in turns with angles bank up to
2.Side slipping
The piloting technique of the side slipping is entirely conventional. The
angle of bank of the sailplane should be between 1 0 and 20’ .The side
slip is not very effective mean of loosing height in this sailplane. As, the
rate of descent may be effectively increased by the use of the air brakes.
If a constant airspeed is to be maintained during a side slip, the angle
of pitch must be constant. The air speed indicator is unreliable during
slip maneuvers.
