apply some speed bar to regain normal flight.
Ensure the glider has returned to normal flight (check your airspeed)
before you use the brakes again.
IMPORTANT: Only a few cms of input from your brakes can
maintain your wing in the stall. Always release your wraps
if you have taken them!
Wingovers
The Mantra R11 is not designed for aerobatic flying. The limit is
tightly banked S-turns, commonly known as wingovers. These must
not exceed 90 degrees of bank
WARNING: Uncoordinated wingovers can lead to large
asymmetric collapses/cravats and therefore should never
be executed near the ground.
SIV
The R11 is a cutting edge performance paraglider that has been fully
optimised for competitive flying and should therefore only be flown
by very experienced pilots. Due to the nature of the tab positioning,
induced collapses do not simulate real life collapses. Ozone strongly
recommends you to NOT perform SIV manoeuvres such as simulated
asymmetric/symmetric collapses with this wing. To do so properly
requires the addition of collapse lines to the leading edge which have
to be mounted accurately, as a result we strongly advise against this
sort of flying with this wing.
then allow the glider to turn whilst you reinflate the collapse.
If you do have a deflation which does not spontaneously reinflate,
make a long smooth progressive pump on the deflated side. This
pumping action should take about 2 seconds per pump. Pumping too
short and fast will not reinflate the wing and pumping too slow might
take the glider close to, or beyond, the stall point.
Symmetrical collapses normally reinflate without pilot input, how-
ever a quick input of 15 to 20cm of brake applied symmetrically will
speed the process and reduce the likelihood of the wing tips coming
together in a horseshoe and resulting cravats. Never let your tips
come together in a front collapse, use enough input to stop this hap-
pening.
If your Mantra R11 collapses in accelerated flight, immediately
release the accelerator, return trimmers to the neutral position (if
untrimmed) and actively control the glider.
Cravats
The first solution to get out of a cravat situation is to maintain
control of your direction and pull the stabilo line (red sheathed line
on A risers) until you gain tension in the line. This action will clear
most small tip cravats however larger cravats may need deep brake
inputs to clear. You must be careful with any brake inputs or you may
unexpectedly stall the wing.
If after repeated attempts this does not work, a parachutal or full
stall (symmetrical or asymmetrical) are the next best solutions. This
should only be done with a large amount of altitude and training. Re-
member if the rotation is accelerating and you are unable to control
it, you should use your reserve whilst you still have enough altitude.
Deep Stall / Parachutal stall
The R11 shows no parachutal tendencies, but should it happen,
your first reaction should be to fully raise both brakes and the glider
should return to normal flight. If nothing happens after a few sec-
onds, make sure the trimmers are not in the fully slow position and
