> Now place the compression band around the glider across the leading edge
> Place the entire glider into the inner packsack. This protects the glider from being
damaged by the zipper or other objects.
> Open the packsack and lay the glider inside. The soft material here provides for
good carrying comfort for your lower back.
> Now lay the harness with the seat board upwards onto the glider in the packsack and
(in most cases), close with the zipper. The top of the packsack offers enough space
for helmet, overall, instruments, etc.

The rods in the leading edge replace the well-known mylar and bring considerable ad-
vantages, especially with regard to the launch performance of your CHILI3. They are re-
sistant to bending and require no special handling. The same applies to the reinforce-
ments above the C-connection points (C-wires).
Tip: Be careful that you do not pack your skywalk CHILI3 too tightly and treat
the leading edge area with special care. Your wing will thank you with a long-
er product life.
EXTREME FLIGHT MANOEUVERS
The CHILI3 is an EN/LTF B wing and requires basic extreme flight pilot skills. Your sky-
walk CHILI3 has a very stable canopy, but the possibility of collapse cannot be eliminat-
ed in strong turbulence. You can minimize the one-sided turning of the collapsed wing
by braking the open wing half. With severe collapses, you have to brake carefully in or-
der to avoid a full stall. If the wing still does not open even with counter steering, you
can accelerate the opening process by pumping the brake on the tucked side.
ASYMMETRIC COLLAPSE OF THE CANOPY
You can minimize the one-sided turning of the collapsed wing by braking the open wing
half. With severe collapses, you have to brake carefully in order to avoid a full stall. If
