there are two causes for the negative spin:
> One brake is pulled too far and too hard (e.g. when entering a spiral dive)
> One brake is pulled too hard when flying slowly (e.g. while thermal flying).
If an accidental negative spin is exited immediately, the skywalk JOIN´T3 will normally resume
flight without much altitude loss. Just release the brake line that was pulled too far until the air-
flow is restored to the inside wing.
After a long negative spin, the canopy may surge forward on one side. This could result in an im-
pulsive collapse.
WInGovers
Alternating left and right turns as the bank angle is gradually increased. If wingovers are flown
high with a large bank angle, the outside wing tip may loose pressure and start to feel light. In this
case, don’t increase the bank angle any more as the tip could collapse impulsively.

MaterIals
The skywalk JOIN’T3 is manufactured from the highest quality materials.
skywalk has selected the best possible combination of materials with regard to resilience, per-
formance and longevity. We are aware that the durability of the glider is a deciding factor in the
pilot’s satisfaction.
