In order to make Space turn with a minimum sink and radius while
pulling the internal brake you should pull very slightly the external one
too. Use weightshift to decrease the spiral radius. If the thermal ow is
narrow and strong, increase the tilt and the rotation speed by releas-
ing the external brake.

Descent Techniques
Big Ears
While holding the brakes you should symmetrically pull the А’- risers.
For directional control of the glider use the weight shift. When you do
big ears, the horizontal speed increases slightly. In order to return to
normal ight, you should release the A-risers and pull the brakes a few
times, if necessary.
Spiraling is not permitted with big ears, because of the increased load
on the remaining lines so that they can be physically deformed.
In Flight Characteristics
Space reaches its maximum speed when you pull the accelerator to
its maximum and release the brakes. Use this mode for long-distance
ying and in strong winds. When using accelerator you will have a
maximum speed of about 60 km/h.
Remember, that when you use the accelerator, your glider is more
likely to collapse. We do not recommend to use accelerator, if your
altitude is less, than 100m. If collapse occurs, release accelerator im-
mediately.
