The  stall  situation  happens  when  you  fly  at  very  low 
speeds. In a turbulent air mass, the Foxy can stall because 
of  an  over-incidence.  To  provoke  a  complete  stall,  you 
have  to  symmetrically  brake  the  wing  until  the  loss  of  lift.  
The  profile  is  broken  and  you  will  feel  a  diminution  of 
relative  wind.  By  keeping  your  hands  low,  you  will  reach 
the  stall  point.  To  get  out  of  this  situation,  you  have  to 
progressively  release  the  brakes  (always  in  a  symmetrical 
way)  to  rebuild  the  profile.  The  wing  will  take  a  dive.  This 
diving must be controlled by a strong and efficient action 
on the brakes. In this phase, it is essential not to over-pilot 
the wing in order to let it flies back to its optimum speed.  

 

 

Ties  can  occur  with  the  Foxy  after  an  asymmetrical 
collapse by wingtip getting stuck into the lines. This could 
quickly engage an unwanted turn. To untangle the wing, 
the  maneuvers  to  be  used  are  the  same  as  for  an 
asymmetrical closure. Shift your weight to the open side of 
the  glider.  If  the  weight  shift  is  not  enough  to  stay  the 
course,  you  can  add  a  light  action  on  the  brake.  Then, 
pull  the  stabilo  lines  (marked  by  a  different  color  at  the 
outer  side  of  B  risers)  to  undo  the  cravat.  If  this  is  not 
sufficient, we recommend you to fly at the nearest landing 
while controlling your trajectory thanks to weight shift and 
brake. 

 

 

You need to keep in mind that most of the flight incidents 
occur  after  a  piloting  mistake.  Over-piloting  leads  to 
dangerous situations. 

We  recommend  you  to  learn  how  to  manage  those 
incidents  with  the  Foxy  with  professional  in  an  adapted 
environment.
