Decreasing Altitude by B-lines Stall

The Vmax Series has a 4-point riser. With this riser system you can decrease height
vertically without any danger. You should pull the B-risers symmetrically.

After a starting effort (first 5 cm) pull the B-risers app. 30 - 40 cm downward. The air
stream at the upper and lower side ceases gradually and the glider begins to descend
vertically.

In order to bring the glider back into the previous position, you should only let both B-
risers go. It would be best that returning is smooth and quick, so that the glider comes
to the normal gliding again as fast as possible.

According to the intensity of pulling you can descend at the rate of 5-10m/s. This de-
scending should be preferred to the steep spiral flying or full stall because this style of
flying can be performed for a long time.

Attention:

The B-lines stall is a descending help, in case of which the glider must be brought
to the previous position on time!!! You must not descend deeper than the safety
height of 150m over ground.

Big Ears

The one or two outer A-lines are pulled on both sides for about 50 cm, causing the tips
to collapse, allowing the glider to achieve a 3-6m/sec sink rate. The glider remains
controllable through braking and weight shift.

Releasing the A-lines opens the collapsed cells. If this doesn´t happen, then reinflation
can be induced with the brakes.

Never use big ears and a steep spiral together. You will overload the glider and
brake it.

Full stall and spins should be avoided, as incorrect recovery with any
paraglider can be dangerous.
Decent manoeuvres should be practised in a safe manner so that
proper technique can be applied in extreme situations.

Caution:
