// X-ALPS5

2 DESCRIPTION

 

The X-ALPS 5 is especially designed for the requirements of Hike & Fly competitions. 
Developed with the technological know-how of our R&D team and the intense 
experience of our X-Alps athletes.
Due to the special manufacturing technique in the nose area and the 2-line technology, 
the X-ALPS5 is enormously powerful and can be flown very efficiently and fast over
a long period of time.
The lightweight design requires a certain amount of caution in handling.

PILOT REQUIREMENTS

The X-ALPS 5 is designed for pilots well practised in recovery techniques, who fly very
actively and have significant experience of flying in turbulent conditions.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

The X-ALPS5 comes standard with SOFTBAG LIGHT, compression strap, packing tube
and “BASIC GUIDE”.

4 LINE SYSTEM

The layout of the suspension points is designed for optimal load distribution and a long 
lifespan. With all considerations and calculations however, our focus is always on safety. 
The mix of materials used on the lines of the X-ALPS5 is an ideal combination of dura-
bility, low stretch and low drag.
The skywalk X-ALPS5 has 3A-, 3B-, and 1 stabilo line. The main-stabilo is connected with 
the A2-riser. The brake lines are not load-bearing and lead from the trailing edge over the 
main brake lines through the low-friction rings on the B-risers to the brake handles.
A marking on the main brake line indicates the position of the handle attachment.
This setting should not be lengthened, for example, to provide more brake travel in extreme 
flight situations or during landing, nor shortened such that the glider is flown constantly 
with some brake on.
