lINE SYSTEM
The lay-out of the suspension points was designed for optimal distribution of load and
long life span. With all considerations and calculations however, our focus always was
on safety. The mix of materials used on the lines of the JOIN’T2 is an ideal combina-
tion of durability, low stretch and low drag. The main lines of the JOIN’T2 are made of
high-strength Tecnora with polyester sheathing. Each of these main lines can withstand
more than 300kg of load. The new Dyneema line is used also for the top lines of the
JOIN’T2, thanks to their very good ageing resistance. Also after years of intensive use,
the JOIN’T2 still has reassuring safety reserves.
The skywalk JOINT has 3 a-, 3 B-, 3 c- as well as 2 D-main lines and 1
stabiliser line.
The line maillons can be differentiated between top lines (at the top of the canopy), mid-
dle or intermediate lines (combining 2 – 3 top lines together) and main lines. These
main lines combine with 2 to 4 intermediate lines and lead to the quick links at the
riser(triangular line lock which connects lines to riser).
The stabiliser lines connect to the top stabiliser lines with the carabiner.
The brake lines are none carrying and lead from the back of the canopy (=trailing edge)
over the main brake line through the pulley on the D-riser to the brake handle.
There is a mark on the main brake line indicating the position of the handle attachment.
This adjustment must not be altered in order to provide enough brake travel for landing
and in extreme flight situations yet enough slack not to continuously brake the glider in
normal flight.
The A-lines, the stabiliser lines and the A-riser are coloured red for better discrimina-
tion. The B-lines, the main brake lines and the brake toplines are yellow and all other
lines blue. The line maillons are triangular and have a rubber grommet to prevent the
looped lines from slipping.
The skywalk JOIN’T2 uses 5 risers on each side. The two inner A-main lines are at-
tached to the front A-riser, the outer A-main line attaches to the second A-riser.
> The B-lines and the stabiliser are attached to the B-riser.
Excepted is the outer B-main, which leads to the C-riser.
> The C-main lines lead to the C-riser.
Excepted is the outer C-main, which leads to the D-riser.
>The D-main lines lead to the D-riser.

IMPORTaNT SaFETY WaRNING
Flying a paraglider requires maximum caution at all times.
Be aware that flying your paraglider is at your own risk. as a pilot you have to
guarantee the flight suitability of your paraglider before every single flight.
Don’t use your skywalk JOIN’T2 :
>Outside the certified take-off weight
>With any engine
>In rainy, snowy and extremely turbulent weather conditions or high winds
>In fog or clouds
>With insufficient experience or training
Every tandem-pilot is responsible not just for his own security but also for his passen-
ger and should take care that his Aircraft (paraglider) has been checked and serviced
for its airworthiness before every flight.
You can only fly your skywalk JOIN’T2 with a valid flying license and in accordance with
local rules and regulations.
During its production your skywalk JOIN’T2 has passed thorough quality control
checks. More spot checks were performed before its despatch.
