Extremely fl ight manoeuvers
Deep Stall
Th e U-Turn THRILLER X3 is not stall sensitive. If in a stall, caused by overpulling on the brakes,
the rear risers or delayed B-stall exit, the release of the brakes or the rear risers, recovers the stall.
Should the stall be caused by an extreme fl ight condition or confi guration (i.e. takeoff weight to
low), a symmetric forward push on the A-riser or step the speed system recovers the stall.
Warning: Practicing stalls should be done with enough safe altitude. Never apply asymme-
tric brakes during a stall, it could cause a spin. If the THRILLER X3 is in deep stall, one
shoulder never release the breaks if the glider is behind the pilot.
Fullstall
To initiate a full stall, pull both brakes witout a wrap slowly to the point of stall. As soon as the
point of stall is reached, hold both hands up. Th
e glider falls back. At point, under no circum-
stance should the hands let up or release the brakes, to recover from a full stalls the canopy
should be stabilized overhead and prefi lled. For this slightly let up both brakes symmetrically.
To exist completely, let up both brakes symmetrically and slowly in its entirety. With a correct
symmetrical exit the glider returns swift ly, as soon as the glider shoots strongly forward, it must
be checked by a brief brake input. An asymmectrical recovery is to be avoided, this could lead to
falling into the glider.
Negativ Turn
A negative turn/spin is initiated, when the pilot pulls the brake on one side fast and completely
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 order 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.
Note: 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 executed. 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
descent 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
THRILLER X3 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.
