Full Stall
Negative Turn / Spin
CAUTION: The forces, that affect a tandem glider of this size
during a Full Stall are very high.
To force a Full Stall, pull both brakes all the way down. Depending on the
arm length of the pilot, it might be necessary to take wraps of the brake
lines. The U2 does not deflate completely. It’s very heavy to keep the it
in Full Stall.
Stabilize the canopy before recovering the Full Stall, then symmetrically
and slowly release the brakes to refill the canopy.
When the pilot applies too much brake on one side, a spin can begin. To
recover from the spin, the lower brake has to be released to let the gli-
der accelerate.
The U2 is characterised by a very high stablility.
Nevertheless, as can happen to all gliders, stronger turbulence can lead
to a canopy deflation.
Usually this is not a difficult situation, as the canopy inflates quickly and
reliably.
You can support reinflation bycorrecting on the open side and using a
long, steady brake action to pump out the closure.
Canopy Deflation
If, for any reason, the U2 cannot be controlled with the brakes, it can be
steered and landed with the rear risers.
Emergency Steering
NOTE: Never begin any manoeuvres without having informed
your passenger!
