also lean your bodyweight towards the outside. This exit manoeuvre has
to be carried out gradually and with smooth movements so you can feel
the pressure and speed changes at the same time.
The after effect of the exit manoeuvre is that the glider will rock briefly
with lateral surge, depending on how the manoeuvre has been carried
out.
Practice these movements at sufficient altitude and with moderation.
5.5 SLOW DESCENT TECHNIQUE
Using this technique (do not hurry to descend) we will fly normally,
without forcing neither the material nor the pilot. It means looking for
descending air areas and turn as it was a thermal – in order to descend.
We have to avoid danger areas when looking for descent zones. Safety is
the most important thing.
6. SPECIAL METHODS
6.1 TOWING
The ICEPEAK 6 does not experience any problem when being towed.
Only qualified personnel should handle the qualified equipment to carry
out this operation. The wing has to be inflated in the same way as in
normal flight.
6.2 ACROBATIC FLIGHT
Although the ICEPEAK 6 has been tested by expert acrobatic pilots in
extreme situations, it HAS NOT been designed for acrobatic flight and we
DO NOT recommend continued use in this type of flight. Acrobatic flight
is the youngest discipline in free flight. We consider acrobatic flight to be
any form of piloting that is different to normal flight. To learn safely how
to master acrobatic manoeuvres you should attend lessons which are
carried out by a qualified instructor and over water. Extreme manoeuvres
take you and your wing to centrifugal forces that can reach 4 to 5g.
Materials will wear more quickly than in normal flight. If you do practice
extreme manoeuvres we recommend that you submit your wing to a line
revision every six months.
7. FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS
The ICEPEAK 6 has been equipped with the latest technologies SLE and
RAM AIR INTAKE in the leading edge, SLE in the intrados and DRS in the
trailing edge. In order to guarantee the correct preservation of the glider
and to keep it in perfect flying condition, we recommend using always an
appropriate folding method.
The ICEPEAK 6 is delivered with the N-Kare bag. It is an easy folding bag
that assists you during the folding process and also can be used as a
base surface which protects the glider against damage.

When the ICEPEAK 6 is folded, the Kargo rucksack is ready to transport
it.
8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
8.1 MAINTENANCE
Careful maintenance of your equipment will ensure continued
performance.
The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed, if they become dirty,
clean them with a soft damp cloth.
If your wing gets wet with salty water, immerse it in fresh water and dry it
away from direct sunlight. The sunlight may damage the materials of your
