SPLIT S

At the beginning of this figure the speed should be 130 km/h when flying solo or 140 km/h when

flying dual. Rise the nose of the glider till 25° above horizon. Then push the stick forward for direct flight

and deflect the ailerons. To keep sailplane in horizontal position during the turn help by rudder pushing

upper pedal and in the last phase by moving the stick forward. When the glider is in the inverse position

the ailerons and rudder put in the neutral position. After this pull the stick as at the second phase of the

loop.

INVERSE FLIGHT

The inverse flight is allowed when flying solo only. We recommend to put sailplane to the

inverse position according to the description of the first part of the split S. The recommended speed is

130 km/h.

BARREL ROLL

It is allowed to do barrel roll flying solo only. After distinguishing the speed of 150 km/h rise the

nose of the sailplane by about 25° above the horizon returning the stick for direct flight. Then turn the
