In the unlikely
event of a brake line
snapping in ight, or
a handle becoming
detached, the glider
can be own by
gently pulling the rear
risers (C-risers) for

IMPORTANT
Using 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.
NOTE
It is recommended
to pilot the wing with
the rear risers during
accelerated ight.
Accelerator System

IMPORTANT
Never take off with
a glider that is not
fully inated or if you
are not in control of
the pitch/roll of your
wing.
Launching
Your Geo 5 will launch with either the forward or reverse technique. The wingshould belaid outin a
pronouncedarc,withthecentreofthewinghigherthanthetips.
Forward Launch - Nil to Light winds
Whenthewindisfavourable,whilstgentlyholdingtheArisersmoveforwardpositively,yourlinesshould
becometightwithinoneortwostepsandtheGeo5willimmediatelystarttoinate.Youshouldmaintain
aconstantpressureontherisersuntilthewingisoverhead.Donotpulldownorpushtherisersforward
excessively,ortheleadingedgewilldeformandpossiblycollapsemakingtaking-offmoredifcultand
potentiallydangerous.
Movesmoothlythroughouttheentirelaunch,thereisnoneedtorushorsnatchatit.Youshouldhave
plentyoftimetolookupandcheckyourcanopybeforecommittingyourself.Onceyouarehappythatthe
Geo5isinatedcorrectly,acceleratesmoothlyoffthelaunch.
Reverse Launch - Light to Strong Winds
Layoutyourwingasyouwouldfortheforwardlaunch.However,thistimeturntofaceit,passingone
entiresetofrisersoveryourheadasyouturn.Nowyoucaninatethegliderwithyourbodyweightand
theA-risers.Oncethewingisoverhead,releasetherisers,brakegentlyifnecessary,turnandlaunch.
Instrongerwinds,bepreparedtotakeafewstepstowardsthegliderasitinates.Thiswilltakesomeof
theenergyoutoftheglideranditwillbelesslikelytooveryyou.Thisreverse-launchtechniquecanbe
usedinsurprisinglylightwindstoo.
Practicegroundhandlingasmuchaspossible!Notonlyisitgreatfun,butitwillgiveyouamuchbetter
feelforyourwing’sightcharacteristics.Itwillalsoimproveyouroverallenjoymentofyingbygivingyou
thefeelingofcontrolandmakingyourlauncheseasierandlessstressful.
Speed to Fly
Flyingattrimspeed(hands-up),theGeo5willachieveits‘bestglide’speedforstillair.Youshouldy
atthisspeedwhenglidingdownwindorwhentheairisnotexcessivelysinking.Forbetterpenetrationin
headwindsandimprovedglideperformanceinsinkingair,crosswindsorheadwinds,youshouldyfaster
thantrimspeedbyusingtheacceleratorsystem.Usinguptohalfbardoesnotdegradetheglideangleor
stabilitysignicantlyandwillimproveyouryingperformance.Youwillreachthenextthermalfasterand
higher.AtfullspeedtheGeo5isstable;howeverwerecommendthatyoudonotyatfullspeedcloseto
thegroundorinturbulentair.
By applying the brakes approximately 20cm, the Geo 5 will achieve its minimum-sink rate; this is the
speedforbestclimbandisthespeedtouseforthermallingandridgesoaring.
Turning
TofamiliarizeyourselfwiththeGeo5yourrstturnsshouldbegradualandprogressive.Tomakeefcient
andcoordinatedturnswiththeGeo5rstlookinthedirectionyouwanttogo,thenleanintoit.Yourrst
inputfordirectionalchangeshouldbeweight-shift,followedbythesmoothapplicationofthebrakeuntil
thedesiredbankangleisachieved.Toregulatethespeedandradiusoftheturn,coordinateyourweight
shiftandusetheouterbrake.
Active Flying
Tominimizethelikelihoodofsufferingcollapsesinturbulentconditions,itisessentialtouseactiveying.
Theseareskillsthatarebestlearntbyplayingwiththegliderontheground.Flyingwithasmallamountof
brakeapplied(approx.20cm)willallowyoutofeelthefeedbackfromthewing.Inturbulentconditionsthe
internalpressureofthewingisconstantlychangingandonlybyusingasmallamountofbrakewillyoufeel
thesechanges.Theaimofactiveyingistomaintainaconstantpressurethroughthebrakes,Ifyoufeela
reductionorlossofpressureapplythebrakesuntilyoufeelnormalpressureagain.Onceyouhavenormal
pressure,raisethehandsquicklybacktotheoriginalposition.Avoidyingwithcontinuousamountsof
deepbrakeinroughairasyoucouldinadvertentlystallthewing.Alwaysconsideryourairspeed.
Thesemovementscanbesymmetricorasymmetric;youmayhavetoapplybothbrakesorjustone.These
subtleadjustmentswillkeeptheglideryingsmoothlyanddirectlyaboveyouanddramaticallyreducethe
chancesofacollapse.Ifthegliderpitchesinfrontofyou,usethebrakestoslowitdown.Equally,ifthe
gliderdropsbehindyou,releasethebrakestoallowittospeedup.Thegoalistoalwayskeepthewing
directlyoverhead.
Nopilotandnogliderareimmunetocollapseshoweveractiveyingwillvirtuallyeliminateanytendencyto
collapse.Whentheconditionsareturbulent,bemoreactiveandanticipatethemovementsofyourwing.
IMPORTANT
Always keep hold of
your brakes. Do not y
in turbulent conditions
IMPORTANT
Never initiate a turn at
minimum speed (i.e.
with full brakes on) as
you could risk entering
a spin.

IMPORTANT
Induce Big ears one
side at a time
NEVER induce Big

ight, this can lead
to a major deation.

apply the speed bar.
DO NOT perform spiral

I
MPORTANT
The 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 ying
properly
again.
IMPORTANT
Always 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.

whilst using the speed
system - it makes the
wing more prone to
collapse.

therefore they should
never be executed

Deep Stall / Parachutal Stall
It is possible for gliders to enter a state of parachutal stall. This can be caused by several situations
including;averyslowreleasefroma B-line stall; ying the gliderwhenwet;orafterafront/symmetric

IMPORTANT
Only a few cms of
input from your
brakes can maintain
your wing in the stall.
Always release your
wraps if you have
taken them!
IMPORTANT
A bad preparation
on launch, aerobatic
ying, ying a wing of
too high a level or in
conditions too strong
for your ability, are
the main causes of
cravats.
IMPORTANT
Never y in the rain or
with a wet glider

•DONOTyintherainorexposethewingtomoisture.
•DONOTexposethewingtounnecessaryUV.Packawayonceyouhavenishedying.Donotleaveit

IMPORTANT: Do NOT lay the wing
at 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.
