COSY 2 HF
These are the reasons why you should be familiar with the manoeuvre and know how to carry out the exit
methods.
To exit this manoeuvre you must progressively release the inside brake and also momentarily apply outside
brake. Whilst doing this you must also lean your bodyweight towards the outside. This exit manoeuvre has
to be carried out gradually and with smooth movements so you can feel the pressure and speed changes at
the same Cme.
The ager effect of the exit manoeuvre is that the glider will rock briefly with lateral surge, depending on
how the manoeuvre has been carried out.
PracCce these movements at sufficient alCtude and with moderaCon.
5.5 SLOW DESCENT TECHNIQUE
Using this technique (do not hurry to descend) we will fly normally, without forcing neither the material nor
the pilot. It means looking for descending air areas and turn as it was a thermal – in order to descend. We
have to avoid danger areas when looking for descent zones. Safety is the most important thing.
6. SPECIAL METHODS
6.1 TOWING
The COSY 2 HF does not experience any problem whilst being towed. Only qualified personnel should
handle the qualified equipment to carry out this operaCon. The wing has to be inflated in the same way as
in normal flight.
6.2 ACROBATIC FLIGHT
Although the COSY 2 HF has been tested by expert acrobaCc pilots in extreme situaCons, it HAS NOT been
designed for acrobaCc flight and we DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF THIS GLIDER for that use. We
consider acrobaCc flight to be any form of piloCng that is different to normal flight. To learn safely how to
master acrobaCc manoeuvres you should a[end lessons, which are carried out and supervised by a
qualified instructor over water. Extreme manoeuvres take you and your wing to centrifugal forces that can
reach 4 to 5g.
Materials will wear more quickly than in normal flight. If you do pracCce extreme manoeuvres we
recommend that you submit your wing to a line revision every six months.
7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
7.1 MAINTENANCE
Careful maintenance of your equipment will ensure conCnued performance.
The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed, if they become dirty, clean them with a sog damp cloth.
If your wing gets wet with salty water, immerse it in fresh water and dry it away from direct sunlight. The
sunlight may damage the materials of your wing and cause premature aging. Once you have landed, do not
leave the wing in the sun, store it properly.
