Default Getting out of the clouds in a Ventus C

And if you try the more generally recommended approach of airbrakes out, hands and feet off? That seems to work in both the gliders I most often fly.

You should enter the recovery mode from an unusual attitude since you will probably be in an unusual attitude very soon after losing external visual reference.

Unless I have reason to think the cloud goes down to the ground, I would not consider bailing out unless/until the wings come off.
