Awak 3 is not an aerobatic wing
Radical manoeuvers should be avoided. They have been done during
the numerous test flights but are not within the normal flying limits of a
paraglider :
- wingovers with more roll than 45° either side of the vertical ;
- slowing and then releasing the controls producing pitching movement.
Greater than 30° either side of the vertical ;
- stalling manoeuvres ;
- sudden turns at very low speed, susceptible of degenerating into flat
spin or asymmetric stalls ;
- closing manoeuvres using the risers.
Doing aerobatic flying beyond the limits set out hereof, should
not engage the manufacturer’s responsibility.
RADICAL MANOEUVERS
In the event of a problem with the main controls (toggles), your wing can be
piloted by moderately pulling the rear risers.
ALTERNATIVE STEERING CONTROLS
Approach and rounding are done in a smooth configuration. The increasing
level in the finesse and stability of our wings makes them more and more sub-
ject to the effects of the gradient. We will have every interest in keeping a high
speed in the final.
At the moment of landing in a strong wind, as soon as the wing is stable, the
pilot should release the brakes and grab the «C» risers to pull down the wing
symmetrically.
