neGative SPinS:
A paraglider spins negative if the airflow disconnects over one half of the wing. The
canopy turns around the vertical axis and the turnpoint is inside the gilder. The inner
part of the wing is in a reverse flight.
There are two reasons for the Negative Spin:
> One brake is pulled too far and too hard (e.g. when entering a spiral dive)
> One brake is pulled too hard when flying slow (e.g. in thermal flying).
The skywalk MESCAL4 usually re-enters normal flight immediately after the brake is
released without any great altitude loss. Simply release the excessively induced brake
until the airflow re-connects to the inside wing.
After a long lasting spin it is possible that when releasing the brake the canopy might
shoot forward and collapse. Cross-braced harnesses that are too narrow increase the
tendency to spin on most paragliders.
WinGOver:
Alternating left/right turns lead to an increased banking of the canopy. The load on
the outside wing tip to a minimum (the tip starts to feel light). Further turns and higher
banking is not recommended at this stage as the canopy might collapse on the inside
wing section.
