A.
Big Ears
•
Pull the outmost A-line (or the respective device, if mounted) down, until the wingtip
collapses. We recommend to pull in the ears one by one.
•
Hold the lines (or respective device) down to keep the ears collapsed.
•
Depending on the size of big ears the sinkrate can increase to 3-4 m/s.
•
Operation of the accelerator can improve sink rate and speed.
•
You can steer the glider while performing big ears by the weight-shift.
When releasing the lines the ears normally open gently and on their own.
Reopening can be aided by "pumping" the brakes one by one.
Symmetrical brake input to open both ears may lead to a stall.
B.
Spiral
The ATIS 3 is a wing featuring fine, precise and progressive cornering behaviour.
To induce a spiral one brake is pulled up to 35 % progressively and held in this position.
Weight shift to the inner side helps, but is not mandatory.
