negative turn
A negative turn/spin is initiated, when the pilot pulls the brake on one side fast and completely
through to the point of stall while letting the other brake partly free. With a negative turn the
glider turns relatively fast around its center, while the inside flies backwards. In order to exit a
negative spin, the applied brake is released, where stalled side of the wing can pick up speed or
one exits though a full stall, by braking the flying side into a stall as well.
attEntion:
The Spin and the Fullstall and unpredictable and dangerous
flight figures and should only be executed in a safety training under supervi-
sion and never be executed intentionally. There is danger of riser twist. With
a riser twist the brake lines can get blocked.
attEntion:
The glider has been overloaded. Fullstalls and negative turns/
spins as a descent method are dangerous, because a wrong exit, regardless
of glider type, can have fatal consequences.
Emergency Piloting
In any situation where normal steering is not possible, the U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2 can be easily
steered and landed with the back risers. Turns can be flown with weight shift, however be care-
ful that the glider doesn`t lock into a spiral.
