that no material is caught in the zippers.
You can also pack any skywalk glider with elastic nylon wires by any other method without dama-
ging the leading edge.
Place the harness with the seat board facing up (to distribute the load better) on top of your gli-
der and close the zippers. You will find adequate space rest of your equipment (helmet, overall, in-
struments, etc.) under the cover of the rucksack.
A hint to increase the life of your glider even more:
Don’t pack your glider too tightly. Treat the leading edge with care despite its robustness and
open up your wing a bit if you store it for a longer period of time.
WIncH toWInG
The skywalk JOIN´T3 is well suited for winch towing.
Make sure that you only use certified winches and that you climb from the ground at a flat angle.
The pilot must have had proper towing instruction and must ensure that the winch operator has
had proper training that includes paragliders.
When launching on a winch, always fly with a lot of feeling and don’t brake too much as your gli-
der will already have an increased angle of attack. To achieve a flatter climber, you can open the
trimmer if conditions are calm.
FlyInG WItH a Motor
Currently, the JOIN’T3 has no certification for flying with a motor.
You can find out the current status of motor certification at any dealer or importer, or by asking
skywalk directly.

This manual is not intended to be an instruction manual and skywalk highly recommends taking
part in a safety training course over water.
The following hints will help you to get the most out of your glider.
For all extreme maneuvers it is important:
> First to practice them under the tutelage of a certified flight instructor as part of a safety trai-
ning course.
> To ensure that the airspace below you is clear before entering each maneuver.
> To maintain eye contact with your glider throughout each maneuver.
