Flying in Curves
The VENOM has versatile, direct and immediate curve handling. The wing has a
high level of safety reserves, however, it should only be flown by experienced pilots.
The VENOM has a high level of precision handling, and is great fun when motorized.
Through the high level of direct curve control, the wing is very easy to
steer even against the torque, and allows for excellent dynamics.
CAUTIon
WHEn ACTIVATIng THE bRAkE LInES Too AggRESSIVELY oR
STRongLY, THERE IS A PoTEnTIAL DAngER oF bREAkIng oFF THE
AIR FLoW To THE WIng.
When lift is lost from one side of the wing due to aggressive braking, you will notice
right before this happens that the brake pressure increases and the tip of the leading
edge of your wing will bend downwards. If this happens you must immediately release
the brake on the inside curve wing side.
Emergency Steering
In the Event that a brake line breaks, or your knot on your brake grip loosens or
releases from the line, you can still control your wing using the D-riser line levels. That
will help restore some directional control and you can land immediately.
Turbulent Air Conditions
Even though the danger of a wing collapse is relatively low when flying your wing with a
running motor, with its high level of surface tension on the wing, and the higher level of
leading edge attack, in comparison to free flight without motor, it is recommended that
the Trimmer always be closed in heavy or strong turbulence.
