- A controlled stall can be used to great effect for braking, but if you overdo it you may find yourself gliding backwards (or not at all).
- Look out for cliffs or steep inclines and pitch down to swoop into a glide.
- Lift scales linearly with angle of attack (for small angles), but the ("induced") drag scales exponentially. Balancing lift and drag is key to controlling your velocity, elevation and ultimately gliding distance.
