ordinated turn. The turn radius depends on the amount of pull on
the brakeline.
At about 75% of brakeline travel, the INFINITY increases bank
significantly and performs a fast steep turn that can be continu-
ed to a diving spiral. The diving spiral has to be initiated and ter-
minated slowly. The bank angle is controled by increasing and
decreasing the pull on the inner brakeline.
WARNING: A rapid pull on the brakeline may cause a spin.
Thermals and Turbulences
The INFINITY shows its strength apart from its outstanding launch
charactaristics and its high pitch- and rolling-stability also with
flights in the thermonics by its outstanding combination of secu-
rity an efficiency. The INFINITY should be flown with light braking
on both sides when there is turbulent air. An increase in angle of
attack provides better stability. When entering heavy thermics or
strong turbulences watch out that the canopy does not get
behind the pilot. To avoid that, release the brakes a bit to get an
increase in speed when entering the updraft. If the canopy gets
in front of the pilot when leaving a updraft or entering a down-
draft the brakes have to be applied to counter that. Accelerated
flight however is adviseable when flying thru a downdraft zone.
The INFINITY is very stable overall, never the less is active flying
a big flight safety factor. Collapsing and deforming of the canopy
can be avoided by active flying (as above mentioned) in turbulent
air.
