Manuever is used when an area of danger exists and you want to change your direction
horizontally and fly out of the danger area quickly.
To perform this „Big Ear“ manuever pull down both outside A-risers. Now you can easily
lose altitude without any danger, by decreasing the wing surface and causing the wing
to fly only from the mid section of the wing. To steer the wing, simply rotate or change
your weight from side to side. By performing this manuever you should not be shorte-
ning the brake line by wrapping the lines around your hand.
The opening of the wing tips to full form is performed by simply releasing the A-risers
on both sides and through dosed pumping of the brakes to support the opening, when
necessary.
