NEGATIVE SPIN

A negative spin is a rotation around the span of the glider. One side of the wing flies for-
ward while other flies backward.

What causes Spins:

- One brake is being applied too fast and too much.
- During slow flight one brake is applied too much

An accidental spin should be exited righ away and the glider will recover quickly.

If crossbracing on the harness is pulled tight the glider will spin easier.

WINGOVERS

Alternating turns with high bank angles.

Caution:
Fullstall, Spins and wing overs more than 90 degrees are considered dangerous 
aerobatics !
