IMPORTANTNo pilot and no glider are immune to collapses, however active flying reduces the tendency to collapse. When the conditions are turbulent, be more active and anticipate the movements of the wing. Always be aware of your altitude and do not over-react.

IMPORTANTAlways keep hold of your brakes. Do not fly in turbulent conditions

DO NOT perform spiral dives with the Big Ears engaged.

IMPORTANTWhilst accelerated DO NOT use your brakes to fly actively in turbulent air, doing so will actually make the wing more prone to collapse.

IMPORTANTRegulate your speed depending on the local airmass. If it becomes turbulent, release the speed system and fly actively with your brakes or B risers.

IMPORTANTA bad preparation on launch, aerobatic flying, flying a wing of too high a level or in conditions too strong for your ability are the main causes of cravats.

IMPORTANTOnly a few cms of input from your brakes can maintain your wing in the stall. Always fully release your brakes to recover normal flight.

IMPORTANTNEVER fly in the rain or with a wet glider.

Step 8. Turn the Saucisse on its side, lay the foam FoldingPillow inplaceandmakethe foldof theLEaround it.Use3folds.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT lay the wing flat on the ground before packing the glider, this will cause abrasion damage to the top surface as you pull the glider towards the middle. ALWAYS pack from a mushroom or lift the wing off the ground when gathering the wing and grouping the leading edge.

IMPORTANT: Do not fold the glider in the centre, you will bend the plastics, instead pack the wing with a full concertina method from tip to tip before packing into the stuff sac.
