FLIGHT CARACTERISTICS
The BIPLACE is designed for experienced pilots qualified to fly tandem and fully capable to adapt to various conditions. We recommend that the first
flights should take place in gentle conditions in order to get familiar with the glider.
The following tips will help you to get optimum performance from your SORA tandem :
Flying « hands up » will achieve the best glide ratio in nil wind.
If you require more speed, releasing the trimmers will allow you to accelerate. The glide ratio will not deteriotate much until the half-way point. If you
wish to slow down the glider or to improve your sink rate, pull down the trimmers to bring them to the minimum speed position.
We advise you to use maximum speed (trimmers fully released) prudently and not to fly close to terrain in turbulent conditions in this configu-
ration.
