B-LINE STALL
The B-lines are pulled down symmetrically 15-20 cm. Keep the brake handles in the
respective hands. The airflow on top of the profile largely detaches and the paraglider
descends without flying forward. Pulling hard on the B-risers allows you to decrease the
area of the wing and increase your sink rate, but this also increases the risk of the wing
forming a rosette to the front. If this happens, recovery from the B-stall immediately!
You can exit the stall by quick and symmetric release of the B-lines. The paraglider will
pitch forward and pick up speed. At no time you may use the brakes in this case!
You can find further information about descent techniques in the enclosed “BASIC GUIDE”.
8 MATERIALS
The skywalk CUMEO2 is manufactured from the highest quality materials. skywalk has
selected the best possible combination of materials with regard to resilience, perfor-
mance and longevity. We are aware that the durability of the glider is a deciding factor
in the pilot’s satisfaction. Spare parts can be obtained from skywalk.

9 HOMOLOGATION
The CUMEO2 is certified to LTF II 91/09 and EN926-1, EN926-2 in the category B.
The CUMEO2 is defined as a lightweight sport aircraft with an empty weight of less than
120 kg in the paraglider category. The many homologation tests are the last hurdle in the
development of a skywalk paraglider. The homologation test flights only take place
when the test team is completely happy with the glider development.
We remark that the certification results will differ during flight in thermals or turbulent air.
The homologation informs solely regarding the paraglider performance during extreme-
flight-maneuvers performed in stable air conditions. These extreme-flight-maneuvers
during the homologation process should thus not be over-valued.
Remember that certification maneuvers were carried out with a harness in the group
GH with a carabiner distance (middle to middle) of 40-48 cm. If another harness is used,
the glider may display flight characteristics that differ from those in the description.
