acceleration and dive, depending on how the manoeuvre was carried out.
Practise these manoeuvres at sufficient altitude and with moderation.
5.4 SLOW DESCENT TECHNIQUE
This technique allows descent without straining the wing or taxing the
pilot. Glide normally while searching for descending air and begin to turn
as if climbing in a thermal, but with the intention to sink.
Common sense has to be used to avoid dangerous areas of rotor when
looking for descending air. Safety is the most important consideration.
6. SPECIAL METHODS
6.1 TOWING
The BI SKIN 2 P does not experience any problem whilst being towed.
Only qualified winch personnel should handle the certified equipment to
carry out this operation. The wing must be inflated similarly as during a
normal takeoff.
It is important to use the brakes to correct the flight path alignment,
especially if the glider begins to turn. Since the wing is subject to a slow
airspeed and with a high positive angle of attack, we must make any
corrections with a high degree of feel and delicacy, in order to avoid a stall.
6.2 ACROBATIC FLIGHT
Although the BI SKIN 2 P was tested by expert acrobatic pilots in
extreme situations, it was not designed for it. We do not recommend
using this glider for acrobatic flying!

7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
7.1 MAINTENANCE
At Niviuk we are firmly committed to make technology accessible to all
pilots. Therefore our wings are equipped with the latest technological
advances gained from the experience of our R & D team.
Careful maintenance of your equipment will ensure continued top
performance. Apart from the general checks, we recommend actively
maintaining your equipment.
A pre-flight check is obligatory before each flight.
If there is any damage to the equipment, you should inspect it and act
accordingly.
All incidents involving the leading edge should be reviewed. A hard
impact can damage the sail cloth.
Thanks to TNT the wing has more safety and performance. If any Nitinol
rod is damaged, they are easily replaceable.
The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed. If they become
dirty, clean them with a soft damp cloth, using only water. Do not use
detergents or other chemicals.
