Descent Techniques
Big Ears
While holding the brakes you should symmetrically pull the outer А- lines.
For directional control of the glider use the weight shift. When you do big
ears, the horizontal speed increases slightly. In order to return to normal
flight, you should release lines and pull the brakes a few times, if neces-
sary. Spiraling is not permitted with big ears, because of the increased
load on the remaining lines so that they can be physically deformed.
In Flight Characteristics
Scotch reaches its maximum speed when you pull the accelerator to its
maximum and release the brakes.
Remember, that when you use the accelerator, your glider is more likely
to collapse. We do not recommend to use accelerator, if your altitude is
less, than 100m. If collapse occurs, release accelerator immediately.
Using accelerator
B-stall
We do not recommend to use B-stall on Scotch glider.
You can change speed by simultaneously pulling or releasing the brakes
or using accelerator.
Speed control
Scotch turns well and has high resistance to deflations in turbulence.
Like many single skin gliders, Scotch has light brake pressure, that in-
creases weakly before stall. Be careful with handling, especially during first
flights.
