EXTREME FLYING MANOEUVRES 

Wingover: 

To induce a wingover the pilot flies consecutive alternating turns to gradually steepen 
the angle of bank. During wingovers with a high bank angle, the outside wing begins to 
unload. Continually increasing  the angle of bank must be avoided to avoid dynamic 
collapses.  

WARNING!  

Full-stall, spin and wingovers (over 90 degree angle of bank) are prohibited 

aerobatic manoeuvres and may not be performed during normal flying. Incorrect 
recovery procedures or overreaction of the pilot may have dangerous consequences!

Attention! 

The Charger is not designed to be used for aerobatics.

Alternative (emergency) steering: 

If for some reason it becomes impossible to control the Charger with main brake lines, 
the WTST handles or D-risers may be used to steer and land the canopy safely.  

Attention: 

 When using the D-risers the brake range is much shorter (10-15 cm) then 

with the brakes. It is also possible to control the direction of the flight by pulling on a 
stabilizer line or by weight-shifting. 

RAPID DESCENT TECHNIQUES 

Spiral dive: 

Attention!  Set trim setting in slow or neutral and turn your paramotor off when 
executing spiral dive. 

A spiral dive is the fastest way to lose altitude; however, the very high G-forces make it 
difficult to sustain a spiral dive for long. It also places high loads on the pilot and glider. 
By tensing ones abdominal muscles and a higher body tension you can to some extent 
resist the high G-forces. Don't forget proper breathing to keep the blood flowing to avoid 
blacking out. As soon as you feel any slight dizziness or impaired vision the spiral 
should be exited immediately. 

The Charger has a very effective spiral dive. This allows rapid descent without stalling. 
To enter a spiral dive the pilot should weight-shift to one side while slowly pulling the 
brake gradually on the same side. During a spiral dive the angle of bank can be 
controlled by increasing or reducing the amount of inside brake. When spiral diving the 
Charger, it is recommended that the outside brake be lightly applied. This helps stabilize 
the wing and enables an easier and safer exit from the spiral. To exit, release the inside 
brake slowly.  At higher sink speeds or if the pilot keeps his weight on the inside, the 
wing can stay in a continued deep spiral and has to be actively exited. This is done by 
weight shifting to the outside and gently applying brake to the opposite side.
