Negativ Turn
A negative turn/spin is initiated, when the pilot pulls the brake on one side fast and complete-
ly though the point of stall while letting the other side of the wing fl y freely. With a negative
turn the glider turns relatively fast around its center, while the inside fi lies backwards. In or-
der to exist a spin, the applied brake released, where stalled side of the wing can pick up speed
or one exit though a full stall, by braking the fl ying side into a stall also.
Warning:
Th
e Spin and the Fullstall and unpredictable and dangerous fl ight attitudes and
should only be executed in a safety training under guidance and never be intentionally execu-
ted. Th
ere is danger of riser twist. With a riser twist the brake lines can get blocked.
Warning:
Th
e glider has been overloaded. Fullstalls and negative turns / spins as a de-
scent method is dangerous, because a wrong exit, independent of glider type, can have fatal
consequences.
Emergency Piloting
In any situation where normal steering with the brakelines is not possible, the U-Turn
BLACKLIGHT can be steered with the back risers easily. Turns can be fl own with weightshift ,
however be mindful that the glider doesn`t lock into a spiral.
Transport and storage
When transporting the glider dont expose it to any liquids and has to be packed totally dry.
Store the BLACKLIGHT always protected from UV radiation. Furthermore never store the
wing together with acids or similar gods. A dry storage is very important!
Attention:
Aft er a long storage period the glider must be checked!
