  -> gracias Carmen :)
agree  Juan L Lozano: sí, se oye mejor "bajarse hasta"
14 mins
  -> gracias Juan y de acuerdo :)
agree  Jairo Payan: Para un "briefing" escrito al pasajero, bajar es la mejor opción. Yo no pondría "bajarse" las puntas de las palas no se bajan, bajan. Ahora el técnico las puede bajar aun más pues ellas flectan. Bajarse no sería correcto pues implican acción de un tercero

agree  Daniel Parra: bajar, no "bajarse".
