You kept pressing on the speed bar after that?

@albedran2 Yes I continued to push the speed bar after the recovery, considering the mild reaction of the glider.

nice, rear risering it, its not like a 2-liner that makes it almost a reflex wing, but very fast opening, and no directional change, since i fly using the D-stearing as well ive noticed that it reduces a lot of feel, i now use D`s only on speed for little directional control, but active piloting on the brakes is paramount importance to keeping the wing open.

@parapilot1453

You are right about the D-stearing - I don't us it all the time, but just on speed bar for drag reduction during the transitions and Never let the brakes go.

Cheers and safe flying!

If someone forced me to go to the collapse shop & choose something, it'd be the frontal collapse every time. Always look much worse than they ever actually are.

Then again, stay off the bar in turbulence you crazy kids.
