A last technique would be the "slow descent technique". Perform this manoeuvre when you are in no hurry to get off. The goal is to
locate the descending zones and to position oneself by turning as if in a thermal.
‣
Do not attempt to descend in turbulent conditions. The best way is to get away from the turbulence and look for areas where
conditions are healthy, to land gently and safely.
Special methods
Towing is not a problem for the Lacy. The winching
equipment must be used by expert pilots. The wing must be
inflated in the same way as in a normal flight.
Use the brakes to correct the flight path alignement. In
order to avoid a stall, you must make corrections with a
high degree of delicacy since the wing is subject to a slow
airspeed.
As far as acrobatic flight is concerned, it is strongly
discouraged to use this glider for this practice. This practice
leads to centrifugal forces of 4 to 5 G. To learn these
acrobatic manoeuvres, you should take courses above the
water with the supervision of an expert. If you do this kind of
practice, which leads to rapid wear and tear of the
equipment, it is advisable to have the lines serviced every 6
months.
