PHI FANTASIA, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 8 / 19

When the minimum speed is reached, the brakes are pulled to the max, the wing and this technique allows a
so touch down.
In strong headwinds you brake very little. Only when the pilot is safely on the ground, he stalls the wing with
caution (possibly with the rear risers).
Attention!
Landings with steep turns in the final approach are absolutely to be avoided (dangers resulting from
pendulums)!
A complete stall can result in a very hard impact of the pilot even at just two meters altitude. Therefore, the
brakes should be fully pulled only just before touchdown.
5.Rapid descents
Attention!
All rapid descent maneuvers should be practiced in calm air and with sufficient safety height to safely use
them in emergency situations with turbulent air.
For all extreme flying maneuvers and rapid descents:
- first practice under the guidance of a teacher as part of a safety training.
- before initiating maneuvers, the pilot ascertains that the airspace below/around him is clear.
- during the maneuver, the pilot must constantly control the altitude above ground.
a)Big Ears
Applying big ears is extremely effective and easy to perform with the FANTASIA. Initiate the outer A-risers
(red/orange) by grabbing at the top of the shackle on both sides, and pulling symmetrically down. The brake
handles remain in the hand (without additional wrapping). As long as the risers are held down, the wingtips
remain folded and the sink value increases.
If wingtips do not fold completely at the beginning, it is advisable to repeat the initiation, pulling the A-straps
faster and / or grasping the outer A-riser above the shackle. The more impulsive pull and the larger amount
of pull on the outer A-riser facilitates the folding of the wingtips.
It is recommended to accelerate the wing additionally to increase the sink rate and the forward speed. It also
compensates for the increase in angle of attack caused by the added resistance of the applied ears.
To release the maneuver, it is sufficient to release the outer A risers back up again, whereupon the FANTASIA
independently recovers the wingtips.
If the ears do not fill completely by themselves, the filling can be achieved by a short brake input. It is
important to ensure that it is only a short and limited brake input, or that the brakes are released
immediately.
Attention!
The big ears maneuver increases the drag on the canopy. This increases the angle of attack! In order to
compensate for the increase in the angle of attack and to avoid a stall, it is strongly recommended to use the
accelerator.
When braking (pumping) to open the ears again (a er releasing the speed bar), care must be taken not to
stall the wing.
b)B-Stall
The B-stall is initiated by symmetrical pulling down (about 20cm) of the B-risers. The introduction forces are
relatively high, but decrease with increasing amount of pulling. For maximum effect, it is recommended to
grab the risers at the top of the shackles.
The wing immediately loses its forward speed when the B risers are pulled down and enters a stable stall.
The pilot shi s slightly in front of the wing. The further the B-risers are pulled down, the larger the sink rates
(up to 9m / s).
