A.
Big Ears
Pull down on the outside A lines until the wingtips fold back on themselves. We recommend
that you fold each wingtip separately and not at the same time. Keep the lines taut to stop
the wingtips from re-opening. Depending on the size of the big ears, the sink rate can
increase to 3-4m/s.
As soon as you release the lines the paraglider should spontaneously reopen. You can speed it
up by pumping the brakes with a positive input. If you pump the brakes then we recommend
that you open one side then the other. Pulling down on both brakes simultaneously can result
in a stall.
B.
Spiral
The METIS 2 is a manoeuvrable wing that responds easily to input. To enter a spiral, apply
one brake progressively to about 35% and hold it in this position. The speed of rotation will
increase progressively, as will the pressure on the brake and the centripetal force that you
experience. You can decrease or increase the angle or speed of rotation by releasing, or pulling
down on the brake by several centimetres.
Once mastered the spiral allows you to descend by more than 10m/s. Movements which are
too abrupt or badly synchronised, or entering into a spiral too quickly can result in a spin.
