Also during the maneuvers should be a more "neutral" posture lead to the best of
success. To initiate a dynamic satellite maneuvers meet short and harmonious
control deflections.
Acro in thermals
In moving air the behavior of the cap is unpredictable. Already the firing behavior
of a full stall-Exit at the entrance of a thermal cannot be predicted. Depending on
where the cap currently experiencing an updraft, a downdraft or wind shears, the
start-up to be completely different.
If you at the end of a beard, you should be able to fly at least 15 seconds straight
without being caught by the next turbulence. In this "quiet" air package you can
already start with a maneuver.
In general, you are discouraged from aerobatics in turbulent air.
Acceleration
At the maximum load reached in the fully accelerated NIKITA 5 states more than
60 km / h. In turbulent conditions, the speed system should be used selectively
and with feeling.
It makes absolutely no sense - it is even dangerous - at the same time speed
and braking. Due to a lower angle of attack in accelerated flight, the front
part of the wing becomes more sensitive to turbulence. By simultaneously
braking is now shifting the lift in the rear of the wing and the front part of the
wing unnecessary burden.
Landing
The NIKITA 5 flair can be wonderful. However, for a small Acro glider always pay
attention to the higher trim speed. Due to the short way to control NIKITA 5 can be
brought very quickly into the stall. This is avoided through reason.
If you leave the inflated leading edge bang on the ground, this can cause the
cell walls to burst! Please always keep check on other pilots in the air so
that you can avoid a collision.
Descent Techniques
Training of descent techniques, simulation of flight incidents (SFI) and
aerobatic training should only take place at professional training seminars
with professional trainer and only while flying over water.
Big & Small Ears
The NIKITA 5 has very stable wingtips. The ears open automatically after creation.
The pitch angle of your paragliders is increased using small and big ears,
the brake path is shortened and the risk of inducing a deep stall is high.
Using acceleration system during this maneuver helps reduce these
negative risks.
Never attempt tight turns or spirals with Big Ears, as the A-lines will be over
stressed.
