Negative spin
Should a spin occur the Venus SC is capable of recovering automatically
when the brakes are released. As the glider surges forward slow it down with
the brakes to avoid the possibility of an asymmetric collapse. Always wait for
the glider to be in front of you or above you - never brake while it is behind
you as this can risk a stall.
Procedure for steering in case of failure of primary controls
Should you find yourself in the situation where the brake handles are
unusable the Venus SC can be steered with weight shift or by gently pulling
down on the rear risers. You should reattach both brake handles to the risers
hold the rear risers in each hand and steer using weight shift and the
appropriate C riser. It is important to remember that the effective travel of
the C-line for steering is much shorter than with the brakes.
Remember:
A wrong maneuver at the wrong time may change a
straightforward situation into a dangerous problem. Extreme
maneuvers also expose your glider to forces which may damage it.
Practice these techniques under adequate supervision preferably
during a safety training course.
There are no any special flying procedures or configuration needed for this
Venus SC. Venus SC is designed for single seat flying and should not be used
for tandem flying!
Tow launch
The Venus SC is suitable for towing by pilots who have the relevant towing
rating. The Venus SC has no tendencies towards deep stall/parachuting.
There is sufficient margin to counter steer the glider in a normal towing
situation.
Make sure you use proper equipment, experienced personnel, the
recommended techniques and all relevant safety precautions for towing.
Motorized flight
The Venus S is not certified for motorized flight. Our current range of gliders
suitable for paramotoring can be found in the paramotoring section on
greater than 55 cm
