Once airborne, the magic happens. The 1714 feels heavy in a good way. Turbulence that would fold a modern B-wing just gets absorbed by the 1714's heavy fabric and high internal pressure. Pilots report that at trim speed (approximately 38 km/h), the wing feels like it is on rails. The interference
Approach with energy. The 1714 has a flat glide (approx 1:9.5). It does not like to flare early. Wait until you are 2 meters above the ground, then commit to a deep, progressive flare. If you flare too early, the wing will just sit there and you will land on your back.
