FLYING WITH SPEED SYSTEM
When flying into head wind or through sink, for best glide angle, it is
advisable to increase speed by applying speed systems as long as
conditions are not too turbulent. The angle of attack is lowered with the
increase in speed and the canopy may tuck easier than in normal flight.
Tucks and stalls are more dynamic the faster the canopy is flown. See
"Speed system" section.
LANDING
The Dudek VOX is easy to land. The final leg of the landing approach must
be into wind. During this final glide the paraglider should be decelerated
slowly and at approximately 1 meter above the ground the pilot should "flare"
the canopy, according to conditions. The glider may climb again, gaining
height, if too much brake is used.
Strong wind landings require hardly any brake, if any at all! Use C-risers to
deflate the canopy after landing. Using the brakes will result in pilot being
lifted and dragged backwards.
The final glide during the landing approach should be straight and not
marked by steep or alternating turns as these can result in a dangerous
pendulum effect near the ground.
WINCHING AND MOTORED FLIGHT
The Dudek VOX has no winching or paramotoring contraindication.
AEROBATICS
The Dudek VOX is not designed to be used for aerobatics.
