turning
The skywalk POISON is very manoeuvrable and reacts to steering inputs directly and
without delays. Simple weight shift enables you to fly very wide turns with minimal alti-
tude loss. Combined steering technique: Weight shifting and pulling of the inside brake
line allow extra tight turns.
During turning you can control the speed, the curve radius and banking by additional
use of the outer brake. Counter braking or releasing the brake lines can change these
parameters most effectively.
In order to achieve the best possible climbing performance, avoid sharp or abrupt bra-
king, rather, allow the brake to pay out. This way the glider can find the optimal center
of the thermals and will continue to gain in altitude. In narrower thermals, you can circle
the glider more narrowly- when banking the glider will continue to stably gain altitude.

You will recognise a flat spin through high steering pressure and a slight backwards
folding of the outer wing section. If this happens you have to release the inside brake
immediately.
emergency Steering:
In case one or both brake lines break you are able to steer and land the
skywalk POISON 2 with help from the C-Riser.
active Flying:
Active flying means flying in harmony with your paraglider.
Anticipate the behaviour of your skywalk POISON in flight, especially in turbulent and
thermal conditions and react accordingly. In calm air necessary corrections will be min-
imal, but turbulence demands permanent attention and the use of brakes and weight
shifting with the harness.
Good pilots have instinctive reactions. So possibly collapses can be feeled early and
prevented.
