complete execution of the full stall, stabilization of the wing and progressive lifting
of the hands to resume normal flight).
•
If the full stall happens below 100 m or if the pilot is unfamiliar with stall recovery
the reserve parachute should be deployed immediately.
Steering without brakes
If a brake line or pulley breaks it is possible to steer AROLLA 2 using the C-risers
(rear risers). The movements should be finely controlled as the deformation of the
wing due to the traction on the C-risers is greater than that produced by using the
brakes.
Tip
: Practice this method of steering to be prepared before a real brake failure!
Special steering
No other manœuvre or steering technique is recommended.
Comments on the Testing Procedures
All manoeuvres were carried out over water in a stable air mass with standard
temperature, humidity and pressure.
They were carried out by professional pilots trained to react to any problem in the
most appropriate manner.
Test reports are available on our website:
www.mccaviation.ch
and on the test

Harness Adjustment
During testing procedures, the pilots have been using ABS type harnesses with
following dimensions:
Taille
Distance from seatboard
to inner bottom of
carabiners
Distance between centerlines
of inner bottom of carabiners
AROLLA 2 XXS
39-42 cm
38-44 cm
AROLLA 2 XS
39-43 cm
38-46 cm
AROLLA 2 S
40-44 cm
40-48 cm
AROLLA 2 M
41-45 cm
42-50 cm
We recommend the use of a harness with adjustments as close as possible to those
used during the certification tests.
Excessive cross-bracing (chest strap very tight) increases the risk of risers twisting
during certain manoeuvres.
A looser setting may result in a tendency to fall towards the collapsed side.
