Skywalk CAYENNE4 Handbuch Seite 45

The best method is to lay out the canopy slightly bowed, with the middle of
the canopy forming the highest point of the paraglider. Separate the lines carefully and
align the risers. if the risers are not twisted, the brake lines will run freely through the
grommet to the trailing edge of the wing. All lines must run freely without knots from
the risers to the canopy. Since the lines are thin, please sort them carefully. Knots in
the lines may not untangle in flight! The brake lines lay directly on the ground, so pay
special attention that they don't get caught during launch. There should not be any
lines underneath the canopy. if the lines wrap around the canopy, this can result in inju-
ry or death!
tHe launcH:
The skywalk CAYENNE4 is very easy to launch. Hold the two A-risers and the brake
handles in your hands. For easier identification and control, the A-lines and covers of
the A-risers are red. The brake lines are orange and the brake handles are black.
Hold your arms slightly sideways and backwards like an extension of the A-risers. Be-
fore run-up check the glider position. Check wind direction and airspace once again!
Pull rapidly and the canopy of the skywalk CAYENNE4 will begin to rise above your
head. The canopy will inflate fast and reliably. Keep the glider straight above your head
and run forward. Slow down a little as soon as the upward pull decreases.
You can open any collapsed cells by pumping the affected side. Changes of directions
that are necessary can be carried out now. Look and feel that the wing is properly in-
flated. Don't make your final decision to accelerate or to take-off until you are absolute-
ly sure that the wing is properly and evenly inflated. otherwise, stop the take-off pro-
duce immediately! Reverse- and strong wind launches can result in an exaggerated
pitching forward of the wing or early takeoff. in order to prevent this from occurring,
run uphill after the canopy while raising it into the air. We recommend that you initial-
ly practice this demanding launch technique on a gentle slope. in high winds, you can
hold the CAYENNE4 on the ground with the last riser (C-level).
bankinG:
The skywalk CAYENNE4 is agile and reacts immediately to steering impulses. Banking
can be dosed extremely well with the brakes. With pure weight shift, you can fly very
flat curves with minimal loss of altitude.
The combined steering techniques: Weight shift and braking on the inside of the curve
are especially recommended for a quick change of direction. in the curve, you can con-
trol the speed, radius and bank attitude with additional braking on the outside of the
