The most efficient turns are obtained by a transfer of weight in the harness
towards the inside of the turn accompanied by action on the inner control.
Once in the turn the adjustment is easily managed using the outside control.
In thermal flight, the turns are corrected mainly from
the harness :
- tipping weight to the outside : to flatten the turn and improve sink rate ;
- tipping weight to the inside : to incline and accelerate the turn.
An avoiding action is taken by smoothly applying the control on the inside of
the turn.
