To provide a better overview and to make sorting easier, the lines
have different colors:
> the AI, AII, AIII-main lines and the A-risers are red.
> the BI, BII, BIII-main lines are yellow.
> the CI, CII, CIII-main lines are blue.
> the main stabilo lines are orange.
> the main brake lines are orange.
The lines are attached with loops to oval shackles and secured with plastic inserts.
The skywalk CHILI5 has 4 risers per side:
> the two inner A-mainlines lead to the inner A-riser, the outer A-line leads to
the outer A-riser.
> the B-lines as well as the stabilo lines lead to the B-riser.
> the C-lines lead to the C-riser.
A schematic drawing of the risers can be found at the end of the manual.
5 ACCELERATION SYSTEM
The skywalk CHILI5 can be equipped with a foot-operated acceleration system.
The acceleration system effects the A1-, A2 and B-risers. Exact lengths of the acceler-
ated risers can be found at the end of the manual.
SPEED CONTROL
The system allows the pilot to even out turbulence, speed and pitch while flying on speed
bar without having to release the speed bar. A strap connects the C-riser to the pulley on
the B-riser. To use the SPEED CONTROL, grab the C-riser above the strap and pull the ris-
er downward. Only pull so far that the line shackles on the rear riser don’t drop below the
line shackles on the A-riser.
A schematic drawing of the accelerated risers as well as the functionality of the SPEED
CONTROL can be found on page 12. Any other adjustable, removable or variable devices
are not available.
WHEN FLYING AT TRIM SPEED, THE SPEED CONTROL SHOULD ONLY
BE USED FOR STEERING THE GLIDER IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
MAKE SURE THAT THE C-RISER IS NOT PULLED DOWN INDIVIDUALLY,
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS ACTUATED.

FLIGHT TECHNIQUES AND CHARACTERISTICS
WINCHTOWING
The skywalk CHILI5 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 glider will already have
an increased angle of attack. We recommend the use of a towing adapter.
FLYING WITH A MOTOR
Currently, the CHILI5 has no certification for flying with a motor. You can find out the cur-
rent status of motor certification at any dealer or importer, or by asking skywalk directly.
You can find further information on practices and characteristics of flying in the en-
closed „BASIC GUIDE“.
7 DESCENT TECHNIQUES
BIG EARS
In contrast to the spiral dive, with big ears your forward speed is higher than your sink
speed. This descent method is used to quickly leave dangerous areas in a desired horizontal
direction. The danger of canopy disturbances in turbulent air is greatly reduced with big ears.
Proceed as follows (according to DHV teaching instructions):
> Step on the speed bar half-way, grab the outer A-lines (AIII) -which are suspended on
separate A-risers- above the line shackle with your palms facing outward and pull the
lines down.
> Now press the speed bar all the way. Keep the brake handles and the outer A-lines in
your hands during the maneuver.
> Check the symmetry of the collapsed glider.
> To recover, slowly release the A-lines. The glider usually will reinflate by itself.
> As soon as the glider is fully open, release the speed bar.
> To speed up reinflation, pull lightly on the brakes. Another proven technique is to first re-
inflate one side of the glider, then the other. This can reduce the risk of a stall.
Examples:
> If the pilot is surprised near a summit with little ground clearance by strong wind or a
thundercloud, neither a B-stall nor a spiral dive can help.
> If the pilot is stuck in very strong lift, it is advisable to exit the lift band with the use of
big ears and to find sinking air in which to lose altitude.
