Ozone strongly recommends to not undertake this style of flying.
IMPORTANTUsing the accelerator decreases the angle of attack and makes the wing more prone to collapse, therefore using the accelerator near the ground or in turbulent conditionsshould be avoided.

IMPORTANTThe pitching movement on exiting the B stall is small but necessary. We recommend you do not brake the glider until you are sure that the glider is flying properly again.
IMPORTANTAlways be prepared to pilot the wing out of a spiral dive. Use opposite weight shift and apply enough outside brake to stop the wing from spiralling.

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.
