apply some speed bar to regain normal flight.

Ensure the glider has returned to normal flight (check your airspeed) 

before you use the brakes again.

IMPORTANT: Only a few cms of input from your brakes can 

maintain your wing in the stall. Always release your wraps 

if you have taken them!

Wingovers

The Mantra R11 is not designed for aerobatic flying. The limit is 

tightly banked S-turns, commonly known as wingovers. These must 

not exceed 90 degrees of bank

WARNING: Uncoordinated wingovers can lead to large 

asymmetric collapses/cravats and therefore should never 

be executed near the ground.

SIV

The R11 is a cutting edge performance paraglider that has been fully 

optimised for competitive flying and should therefore only be flown 

by very experienced pilots. Due to the nature of the tab positioning, 

induced collapses do not simulate real life collapses. Ozone strongly 

recommends you to NOT perform SIV manoeuvres such as simulated 

asymmetric/symmetric collapses with this wing. To do so properly 

requires the addition of collapse lines to the leading edge which have 

to be mounted accurately, as a result we strongly advise against this 

sort of flying with this wing.

then allow the glider to turn whilst you reinflate the collapse.

If you do have a deflation which does not spontaneously reinflate, 

make a long smooth progressive pump on the deflated side. This 

pumping action should take about 2 seconds per pump. Pumping too 

short and fast will not reinflate the wing and pumping too slow might 

take the glider close to, or beyond, the stall point.

Symmetrical collapses normally reinflate without pilot input, how-

ever a quick input of 15 to 20cm of brake applied symmetrically will 

speed the process and reduce the likelihood of the wing tips coming 

together in a horseshoe and resulting cravats. Never let your tips 

come together in a front collapse, use enough input to stop this hap-

pening.

If your Mantra R11 collapses in accelerated flight, immediately 

release the accelerator, return trimmers to the neutral position (if 

untrimmed) and actively control the glider. 

Cravats

The first solution to get out of a cravat situation is to maintain 

control of your direction and pull the stabilo line (red sheathed line 

on A risers) until you gain tension in the line. This action will clear 

most small tip cravats however larger cravats may need deep brake 

inputs to clear. You must be careful with any brake inputs or you may 

unexpectedly stall the wing.

If after repeated attempts this does not work, a parachutal or full 

stall (symmetrical or asymmetrical) are the next best solutions. This 

should only be done with a large amount of altitude and training. Re-

member if the rotation is accelerating and you are unable to control 

it, you should use your reserve whilst you still have enough altitude.

Deep Stall / Parachutal  stall

The R11 shows no parachutal tendencies, but should it happen, 

your first reaction should be to fully raise both brakes and the glider 

should return to normal flight. If nothing happens after a few sec-

onds, make sure the trimmers are not in the fully slow position and
