A full stall could occur if full brake is applied during the flight. The paraglider slows down, surges
backwards and deflates. If the brakes are held down, the canopy comes up over the pilot again.
- Recovery
Fully release the brakes within 3 seconds. If you release the brakes too slowly, the
paraglider may spin. The spin stops automatically when the brakes are released completely
.
ASYMMETRICAL TUCKS
In turbulent air, one side of the paraglider may collapse. Some of the cells deflate and the wing may
collapse or spin.
During test flights the “Powerplay sting 140” wing self-recovered it turned less than 90° and stabilised
itself.
- Recovery
• Counter-brake slightly on the side of the paraglide that is still inflated to
stop it turning away and to stabilise it.
• Counter-brake just enough that the paraglider
continues to fly straight ahead.
• If the wing has not yet self-recovered, pump with the brake on the side that
has collapsed in order to open it, making use of the full brake travel.
WARNING!
Counter-braking too strongly can result in a stall on the inflated side.
