collapse without any pilot action at all, but learning how to fly actively will increase this saftey margin even
furthur.
Harness
The Ynovar TWO is tested with a standard harness and it is easy to fly with weight shift. Harnesses with
crosstraps are not recommended by the manufacturer.
Take-off
The Ynovar TWO is easy to inflate in light or stronger winds and will quickly rise overhead to the flying
position. The best inflation technique is to hold one A riser in each hand. The `baby A` risers should be
held as well as the A risers and it is for this reason that the A and the baby A are attached together with
velcro and also why both have a red cloth wrap around the top of these two risers. For launch always
ensure the trimmers are released.
a) Nil Wind – In nil or very light wind, stand with all the A lines tight behind you, then take one or two
steps back (do not walk all the way back to the canopy) and then begin your launch run pulling gently and
smoothly on the A risers. As soon as the canopy starts to rise off the ground stop pulling so hard on the A
risers but pull all the risers evenly through the harness. Maintaining gentle pressure on the A risers
always helps in very calm conditions. Have your hands ready to slow up the canopy with the brakes it it
starts to accelerate past you.
b) Reverse Launch – In winds over 10 km/h it is probably better to do a reverse launch and inflate the
canopy whilst facing it using the A risers.
The Ynovar TWO has almost no tendancy to overshoot but releasing pressure on the A risers when the
canopy has risen about 45° will help to prevent this. The stronger the wind and the greater the pressure
on the A riser the more quickly the canopy will rise.
Turning
The Ynovar TWO does not require handed approach to manoeuvering. For a fast turn smoothly apply the
brake on the side to which the turn is intended. The speed with which the brake is applied is very
important. If a brake is applied fairly quickly the canopy will do a faster banking turn, but care must be
taken not to bank too severly. To attain a more efficient turn at minimum sink, apply some brake to the
accelerating wing to slow the turn and prevent the wing from banking. The Ynovar TWO flies very well like
this, but care must be taken not to over-apply the brakes as a spin could result. The Ynovar TWO will turn
far more efficiently if the pilot weight-shifts into the turn in the harness. Remember that violent brake
application is dangerous and should always be avoided.
Straight Flight
The Ynovar TWO will fly smoothly in a straight line without any input from the pilot. With a pilot and
passenger weight together of 150 kg and the trims released the flying speed will be approximately 40
km/h.
Thermalling
To attain the best climb rate the Ynovar TWO should be thermalled using a mild turn, as described above,
keeping the wing´s banking to a minimum. In strong thermals a tighter banking turn can be used to stay
closer to the thermal´s core. Remember that weight shifting in the harness will aid the efficiency of the turn
and reduce the amount of brake required. The turning is also helped greatly if the passenger also assists
by weight shifting.
Care must be taken not to apply so much brake as to stall, this is however very easy to avoid as the brake
pressure increases greatly as you approach the stall point. Only fly near the stall point if you have enough
height to recover (100 m).
Wing Tip Area Reduction (Big Eears)
The spanwise line layout allows the Ynovar TWO to be “big eared“ without modification. The big ear
facility does not allow you to fly in stronger winds, but is a facility which allows the pilot to descend quickly
