(short and equal application of both brakes).
3.6.3 FULL STALL AND NEGATIVE SPIN
Practically do not occur, may happen only as a result of serious neglect or
intentional action of the pilot. You have to be careful when flying at low speeds
until fully familiar with brake operation. Wing recovers spontaneously in initial
phase of stall, otherwise use standard procedures.
3.6.4 DEEP STALL
Under normal conditions does not occur. If you want to prevent it happen at all,
simply stick to a couple of rules:
+
after B-stall, release the risers quickly and evenly. Don’t be afraid -
Nucleon does not jump forward excessively.
+
after big ears execution, engage the speed system. This will increase both
the sink rate and safety margin, as big ears constitute an aerodynamic
brake with significant loss speed.
Nevertheless, if such a parachutal stall happens e.g. due to strong turbulence,
simply apply some pressure on speed bar and/or push the A risers forward. You
can release the trims too.
3.6.5 LINE OVER AND CRAVATTE
Nucleon is a modern wing which, in order to decrease drag, has fewer
suspension lines and greater distances between them. Therefore it's always
possible that after a tuck one of the stabilisers may tangle in the lines. Usually
a couple of pulls with a brake settles the matter.
If it's not enough, try to untangle it with big ears or a stronger pull on the
risers.In case of any doubts you should seriously consider a rescue chute. It is
there as a normal equipment part, not just an ornament.
3.6.6 EMERGENCY STEERING
In case of any malfunction that renders normal steering impossible, you can
safely steer and land Nucleon using the D-risers (grey marking) or stabilo lines.
For changing direction ALC+ is usable.
4. PARAGLIDER CARE
Proper looking after your paraglider will prolong life of your Nucleon.
4.1 STORAGE
Nucleon's design incorporates newest technologies, including nylon lines in the
leading edge. That's why the paraglider should be carefully packed, with proper
conditions ensured for transport and storage.
