THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME
TO READ THIS BOOKLET
INTRODUCTION1
.
When
setting
out
to
design
our
cross
-
country
glider
we
had
a
clear
target
:
we
wanted
to
create
the
best
paraglider
possible
for
experienced
and
cross
-
country
pilots
.
Pilots
who
want
top
performance
and
sensitive
handling
,
but
who
rightly
demand
security
.
The
Venus
SC
has
evolved
from
our
highly
successful
competition
glider
the
Mercury
Sport
and
shows
the
same
friendly
handling
that
made
the
Mercury
such
a
popular
glider
choice
with
both
cross
-
country
and
competition
pilots
.
The
Venus
SC
is
a
3
-
line
concept
.
The
combination
of
unsheathed
Liros
Dyneema
and
Cousin
Vectraline
give
the
Venus
SC
an
impressive
reduction
in
drag
when
compared
to
the
Venus
III
with
consequent
increase
in
speed
and
glide
.
Performance
is
at
the
top
of
the
EN
C
,
LTF
C
class
.
With
an
internal
structure
based
on
the
successful
Mercury
Sport
competition
glider
the
Venus
SC
includes
our
unique
differential
speed
system
.
This
means
pilots
can
achieve
a
good
sink
-
rate
at
half
or
one
-
third
speed
bar
and
maintain
good
stability
at
maximum
speed
:
in
short
,
it
gives
the
glider
excellent
usable
speed
.
The Venus SC
is
a
performance
glider
(
EN
-
C
)
and
is
meant
for
qualified
pilots
who
hold
a
full
paragliding
pilot
license
.
It
is
designed
as
an
ideal
cross
-
country
glider
,
suitable
for
very
experienced
pilots
who
fly
regularly
and
who
will
enjoy
a
performance
glider
with
good
safety
characteristics
.
This
manual
provides
information
about
the
glider
,
which
will
help
you
to
fly
safely
and
keep
your
wing
in
good
condition
.
If
after
reading
this
manual
you
have
any
further
questions
,
please
don
’
t
hesitate
to

LYING
THE
VENUS
SC
We
recommend
you
practice
inflating
your
glider
before
flying
it
and
make
your
first
flights
in
gentle
conditions
on
a
familiar
flying
site
.
A.
Normal

Pre-flight check
A
proper
pre

is
essential
for
safe
flying
.
Before
launch
lay
the
glider
out
into
a
slight
arc
and
check
that

Launch
The
key
to
successful
launching
is
to
practice
ground
-
handling
on
flat
ground
as
often
as
possible
.
The
Venus
SC
inflates
easily
and
steadily
using
forward
or
reverse
launch
techniques
.
There
is
no
tendency
to
overshoot
the
pilot
.
To
forward
(
alpine
)
launch
in
light
or
nil
wind
there
is
no
need
to
pull
the
risers
hard
.
Allow
the
glider
to
stabilize
overhead
and
run
positively
forward
checking
the
canopy
is
fully
inflated
and
clear
of
any
knots
or
tangles
.
Reverse
launching
is
recommended
in
strong
wind
.
Flight
The
best
glide
speed
in
calm
air
is
achieved
in
the
hands
-
up
position
.
The
best
sink
rate
is
produced
with
both
brake
lines
drawn
down
equally
to
about
20
%
of
their
range
.
Turning
The
handling
characteristics
of
the
Venus
SC
require
no
special
or
non
-
standard
procedures
.
Brake
pressure
is
progressive
.
This
gives
a
responsive
and
sporty
feel
to
the
handling
.
In
an
emergency
(
e
.
g
.
a
broken
brake
line
)
the
Venus
SC
can
be
maneuvered
by
steering
carefully
with
the
rear
risers
or
by
weight
shift
.
Using the speed system
The
speed
system
on
the
Venus
SC
comes
supplied
with
Brummel
hooks
ready
to
attach
to
your
own
speed
bar
of
choice
.
When
you
have
done
this
,
check
the
speed
system
runs
smoothly
by
hanging
in
your
harness
before
flying
.
In
particular
check
that
the
speed
system
won
’
t
be
engaged
when
in
normal
flight
.
Unnecessary
knots
and
loops
in
a
speed
system
are
not
recommended
.
Maximum
useable
speed
is
one
of
the
strong
points
of
Axis
paragliders
and
the
Venus
SC
is
no
exception
.
However
,
in
spite
of
this
exceptional
stability
,
any
collapse
at
full
speed
will
be
more
severe
than
the
same
event
experienced
at
trim
speed
.
Always
keep
both
hands
on
the
controls
when
flying
fast
and
be
ready
to
release
the
speed
system
immediately
at
the
first
sign
of
a
collapse
.
Use
the
speed
system
carefully
when
flying
close
to
the
ground
or
the
terrain
.
Landing
On
your
first
flights
you
may
be
surprised
at
how
well
the
Venus
SC
glides
.
Take
account
of
this
when
making
your
landing
approach
and
give
yourself
the
opportunity
for
S
-
turns
or
a
longer
approach
than
you
might
be
used
to
.
For
a

,
or
if
you
are
forced
to

LOSING
A
LTITUDE
Most
pilots
will
,
at
some
time
,
want
to
lose
height
.
This
may
be
because
of
a
change
in
the
weather
,
you
are
at
cloud
base
and
don
’
t
want
to
go
any
higher
,
or
simply
because
you
want
to
finish
your
flight
quickly
.
Ideally
,
the
best
way
to
lose
height
is
to
find
an
area
of
sink
and
stay
in
it
.
This
way
you
can
fly
normally
to
the
ground
.
However
,
if
there
is
no
sink
,
or
if
you
are
in
strong
lift
and
want
to
go
down
,
a
rapid
descent
method
may
be
needed
.
There
are
three
main
rapid
descent
methods
:
Each
of
these
descent
methods
places
extra
,
different
stresses
on
gliders
and
should
be
avoided
if
you
want
to
extend
the
life
of
the
glider
.
It
is
important
these
maneuvers
are
initially
practiced
under
qualified
supervision
and
preferably
during
a
safety
training
course
.
Big ears
This
is
the
easiest
and
safest
technique
for
descent
while
maintaining
forward
speed
.
Depending
on
how
much
of
the
wingtip
you
deflate
,
3m
/
s
to
6m
/
s
sink
rate
can
be
achieved
.
While
in
big
ears
your
forward
speed
can
be
increased
by
using
the
speed
system
.
The
Venus
SC
can
be
steered
with
big
ears
in
by
weight
-
shift
alone
.
Initiation:
Reach
up
as
high
as
possible
andtake
hold
of
the
outer
A
-
line
on
each
side
of
the
glider
.
Pull
one
in
first
,
maintain
direction
,
and
then
pull
in
the
second
.
Hold
them
in
firmly
.
Make
sure
the
lines
are
pulled
down
equally
on
each
side
and
your
big
ears
are
even
.
Recovery:
Under
normal
circumstances
the
ears
will
stay
in
until
you
pressurize
the
glider
by
slightly
pumping
the
brakes
.
This
is
an
effective
way
of
making
a
rapid
descent
but
doesn
’
t
allow
any
forward
speed
.
Initiation:
Take
hold
of
the
B
-
risers
just
below
the
maillons
and
smoothly
pull
them
down
,
twisting
your
hands
until
the
canopy
shows
a
span
-
wise
crease
at
the
B
-
line
attachment
points
.
It
is
difficult
to
pull
at
first
but
becomes
easier
as
the
aerofoil
creases
.
Your
sink
rate
will
increase
while
your
forward
speed
will
reduce
to
practically
zero
.
Don
’
t
release
the
lines
immediately
-
the
glider
should
be
left
to
settle
before
releasing
.
greater
than
55
cm greater
than
60
cm greater
than
65
cm
B-line stall
Recovery:
Let
go
of
the
risers
smoothly
but
determinedly
and
symmetrically
.
The
Venus
SC
automatically
returns
to
normal
flight
without
any
deep
stall
tendencies
but
may
dive
slightly
forward
.
If
the
risers
are
released
slowly
and
very
unevenly
the
glider
could
start
to
spin
.
Spiral dive
The
spiral
dive
is
the
most
effective
way
of
making
a
fast
descent
.
During
the
spiral
dive
the
pilot
and
glider
will
experience
strong
centrifugal
forces
which
strain
the
glider
.
As
such
it
should
be
considered
an
extreme
maneuver
.
Initiation:
Weight
shift
and
smoothly
pull
on
one
brake
so
the
glider
goes
from
a
normal
360
-
degree
turn
into
a
steep
turn
and
from
there
into
a
spiral
dive
.
Once
established
in
the
spiral
the
descent
rate
and
bank
angle
can
be
controlled
with
weight
shift
and
the
outer
brake
.
Recovery:
The
Venus
SC
should
recover
from
a
spiral
spontaneously
as
soon
as
the
brakes
are
released
,
and
weight
shift
returns
to
neutral
.
To
exit
allow
the
spiral
to
slow
for
a
turn
or
two
by
applying
outer
brake
and
weight
shift
then
release
smoothly
.
Always
finish
a
spiral
dive
at
a
safe
altitude
.
Important notice!:
A
pilot
who
is
dehydrated
and
/
or
not
accustomed
to
spiraling
can
lose
consciousness
in
steep
spiral
dive
! |
As
with
all
types
of
aircraft
,
we
advise
to
assist
the
glider
to
exit
from
spiral
dive
in
a
controlled
manner
.
Due
to
its
long
lines
the
VENUS
SC
can
generate
extremely
high
G
-
force
in
spiral
dive
.
You
should
use
only
moderate
spirals
so
as
not
to
put
unnecessary
load
on
you
and
your
lines
.
C
.
LYING
IN
TURBULENT
CONDITION
Deflations
can
occur
when
flying
in
turbulence
but
in
most
situations
the
Venus
SC
will
stabilize
without
pilot
input
.
Flying
with
a
little
brake
applied
equally
will
help
to
prevent
deflations
and
allow
you
to
experience
more
direct
feedback
.
Active
flying
will
help
avoid
deflations
.
The
aim
is
to
keep
the
glider
above
your
head
in
all
situations
by
responding
correctly
to
the
glider
'
s
movements
by
using
the
brakes
and
weight
shift
.
It
is
important
these
maneuvers
are
initially
practiced
under
qualified
supervision
and
preferably
during
a
safety
training
course
.
greater
than
55
cm
Asymmetric collapse
The
Venus
SC
will
normally
re
-
inflate
after
an
asymmetric
collapse
without
input
from
the
pilot
,
but
the
wing
will
turn
towards
the
collapsed
side
.
You
should
always
maintain
course
and
direction
by
weight
-
shifting
away
from
the
collapsed
side
.
This
can
be
reinforced
by
applying
a
small
amount
of
brake
on
the
opposite
side
to
the
deflation
.
If
the
collapse
stays
in
,
the
collapsed
side
can
be
re
-
inflated
by
pumping
the
brake
on
the
collapsed
side
in
a
firm
and
smooth
manner
.
If
you
experience
a
big
collapse
while
accelerated
the
canopy
will
fall
behind
,
you
due
to
the
difference
in
inertia
between
you
and
the
canopy
.
You
must
wait
until
your
pendulum
back
under
the
canopy
before
dealing
with
the
deflation
.
Reacting
too
early
can
risk
stalling
the
glider
completely
.
Release
the
speed
-
bar
immediately
if
you
have
a
big
collapse
during
accelerated
flight
and
,
while
keeping
weight
shift
neutral
,
apply
slight
brake
to
the
open
side
.
Let
the
glider
enter
a
turn
if
space
allows
in
order
to
avoid
a
spin
or
stall
.
Symmetric collapse
A
symmetric
,
or
frontal
,
collapse
will
normally
reopen
without
any
pilot
input
.
The
Venus
SC
will
regain
airspeed
with
a
surge
.
Be
careful
not
to
brake
while
the
glider
is
behind
you
as
this
could
induce
a
stall
.
Deep stall
The
Venus
SC
has
no
tendency
to
either
get
into
,
or
stay
in
,
a
deep
stall
.
If
the
glider
does
enter
a
deep
stall
,
accelerate
the
glider
out
of
the
deep
stall
by
either
pushing
on
the
A
-
risers
or
by
using
the
speed
bar
.
Never
try
to
steer
out
of
a
deep
stall
.
A
wet
glider
has
a
higher
tendency
to
deep
stall
,
so
if
you
pass
through
rain
accelerate
a
little
and
avoid
using
big
ears
until
the
glider
is
dry
.
Full stall
This
is
an
extreme
maneuver
that
should
rarely
,
if
ever
,
be
required
.
To
induce
a
full
stall
,
take
one
or
two
wraps
of
the
brake
lines
and
pull
both
of
them
down
smoothly
.
Hold
them
down
,
locking
your
arms
under
your
seat
until
the
canopy
falls
behind
you
and
deforms
into
a
characteristic
crescent
shape
.
In
a
stable
full
stall
,
the
canopy
will
oscillate
back
and
forth
.
Be
careful
not
to
release
the
brakes
prematurely
or
asymmetrically
.
The
Venus
SC
recovers
from
a
full
stall
automatically
after
the
brakes
are
released
.
During
correct
recovery
,
where
the
brakes
are
let
up
a
little
to
allow
air
to
enter
the
glider
prior
to
being
released
when
the
glider
is
in
front
of
you
,
the
Venus
SC
may
surge
slightly
in
front
of
the
pilot
.
If
the
brakes
are
released
prematurely
or
too
quickly
there
is
a
possible
tendency
for
the
glider
to
surge
strongly
.
This
can
be
corrected
by
simultaneous
equal
braking
on
both
sides
.
Be
careful
not
to
release
the
brakes
asymmetrically
as
this
can
cause
a
large
asymmetric
collapse
followed
by
a
tendency
to
enter
a
spin
.
greater
than
55
cm
Negative spin
Should
a
spin
occur
the
Venus
SC
is
capable
of
recovering
automatically
when
the
brakes
are
released
.
As
the
glider
surges
forward
slow
it
down
with
the
brakes
to
avoid
the
possibility
of
an
asymmetric
collapse
.
Always
wait
for
the
glider
to
be
in
front
of
you
or
above
you
-
never
brake
while
it
is
behind
you
as
this
can
risk
a
stall
.
Procedure for steering in case of failure of primary controls
Should
you
find
yourself
in
the
situation
where
the
brake
handles
are
unusable
the
Venus
SC
can
be
steered
with
weight
shift
or
by
gently
pulling
down
on
the
rear
risers
.
You
should
reattach
both
brake
handles
to
the
risers
hold
the
rear
risers
in
each
hand
and
steer
using
weight
shift
and
the
appropriate
C
riser
.
It
is
important
to
remember
that
the
effective
travel
of
the
C
-
line
for
steering
is
much
shorter
than
with
the
brakes
.
Remember:
A
wrong
maneuver
at
the
wrong
time
may
change
a
straightforward
situation
into
a
dangerous
problem
.
Extreme
maneuvers
also
expose
your
glider
to
forces
which
may
damage
it
.
Practice
these
techniques
under
adequate
supervision
preferably
during
a
safety
training
course
.
There
are
no
any
special
flying
procedures
or
configuration
needed
for
this
Venus
SC
.
Venus
SC
is
designed
for
single
seat
flying
and
should
not
be
used
for
tandem
flying
!
Tow launch
The
Venus
SC
is
suitable
for
towing
by
pilots
who
have
the
relevant
towing
rating
.
The
Venus
SC
has
no
tendencies
towards
deep
stall
/
parachuting
.
There
is
sufficient
margin
to
counter
steer
the
glider
in
a
normal
towing
situation
.
Make
sure
you
use
proper
equipment
,
experienced
personnel
,
the
recommended
techniques
and
all
relevant
safety
precautions
for
towing
.
