Deep stall
The U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2 is not stall sensitive. If in a stall, caused by over-pulling on the
brakes, the rear risers or a delayed B-stall exit, the release of the brakes or the rear risers,
recovers the stall. Should the stall be caused by an extreme flight condition or configuration
(i.e. takeoff weight to low), a symmetric forward push on the A-riser or step the speed
system recovers the stall.
attEntion: Practicing stalls should be done with enough safe altitude.
Never apply asymmetric brakes during a stall, it could cause a spin. If the
BLACKLIGHT 2 is in deep stall, one should only release the brake if the
glider is in front.
Fullstall
To initiate a full stall, pull both brakes without a wrap slowly to the point of stall. As soon
as the point of stall is reached, hold both hands down. The glider falls back. At this point, under
no circumstance should the hands let up or release the brakes. To recover from a full stalls the
canopy should be stabilized overhead and pre-filled. for this slightly let up both brakes sym-
metrically. To exit completely, let up both brakes symmetrically and slowly in its entirety. With a
correct symmetrical exit the glider returns swiftly, as soon as the glider shoots strongly for-
ward, it must be checked by a brief brake input. An asymmetrical recovery is to be avoided, this
could lead to falling into the glider.
