Groundspin

www.groundhandlix.ch
The groundspin is a groundhandling maneuver that is quite tricky to get it done smoothly, and without the wingtip touching the ground. If it was easy, everyone could do it ;-)

Hello: How exactly do you do this? Thanks a lot

Hi Carlos. This is not so easy to describe. As a hint, try to do this in two separate parts. First flip the glider over in not so strong wind and try to control it upward down. You will expirience that by pulling the rear risers (which have become the A's now), the glider will rise to a certain point and then stall. At this point, you should let it go down again. Don't let it crash on it's nose, but catch it before it hits the ground by pulling the breaks. Handling the breaks above the pulleys works quite well, because it gives you a long (double) way to handle. If you manage to stabilize the wing in this back-fly position, you can try to turn it around again by pulling one brake and walk in an 90 degree angle to the the wind with the wing. Do it over and over again and you will get the feel . . .! Have fun! If you're sure to be able to catch the glider upside-down, before it hits the ground (and maybe destroys your wing . . .), and you're comfortable with the back-fly, a good hint is to walk away from the glider sideways (45 degrees) into the wind while turning it around. To make the other half of the turn, it helps to catch the A-risers and and move onto the other side (45 degrees into the wind). I had to try at least a hundred times, until I got it right for the first time, so be prepared and don't give up so easily ;-)
