> Now attach the compression band around the packed wing, at right angles to the cell
openings, then slide the glider into the light nylon bag.
> This helps to protect the cloth from being damaged by sharp edges or zippers from
your harness.
> Open the backpack and place your glider on the inside edge.
> The soft wing on your back will make transportation much more comfortable.
> Place the harness with the seat board facing up on top of your glider and close the
zippers.

The MESCAL4 manual is not a textbook for learning how to paraglide.
According to the local rules and regulations, instruction and training must be carried
out in licensed schools. The following information enables you to get the most out of
your skywalk MESCAL4.
SPiral dive:
You can initiate the spiral dive by carefully increasing the pull on one of the brakes and
simultaneously shifting your weight to the inside of the turn. If the glider doesn’t bank
up and the sink rate doesn’t increase, then try again. Don’t just apply more and more
brake without sensitivity.
The skywalk MESCAL4 enters the spiral dive with a high bank angle and makes a fast
steep turn. The banking and sinking can be controlled by dosed pulling resp. loosening
the inner brakeline. Smooth braking of the outer wingtip not only helps to avoid collaps-
es, the pilot is also more easily able to control the rate of sink.
The spiral is the most effective tool in losing altitude. This is advantage and disadvan-
tage at the same time, the pilot needs to be able to handle the resulting high sink rates.
