eXtreMe FlIGHt ManOeuvreS
caution: all extreme manoevers place an extensive stress on materials. A reduced
product life is the direct result.
asymetric tuck:
In strong turbulence, the canopy may collapse. The skywalk POISON 2 will re-open
automatically even after bigger collapses within a turn of 180º. The turning towards the
collapsed wing section can be minimised by braking on the remaining open side of the
canopy. In case of a big collapse you will have to use small brake movements in order
to avoid a stall. In case the canopy still doesn’t recover you can accelerate the opening
process by pumping the brake on the tucked side.
cravat/line over:
This type of instability never occurred during any of our test flights with the skywalk
POISON 2 . Still, in extremely turbulent air or during exceptional piloting errors it is pos-
sible that the folded wing section might get tangled in the lines.The pilot may then sta-
bilise the paraglider by careful counter-braking. Without immediate intervention of the
pilot a cravated paraglider will turn into a strong spiral dive.
There are several possibilities to untangle the paraglider:
Pumping on the folded side. >
Pulling the stabilo-lines (tip-lines). >
In case none of these manoeuvres have any success you can try to unfold the >
paraglider by performing a Full Stall. Only experienced pilots, with a lot of flight expe-
rience should attempt this manoeuvre.

Front tuck:
The paraglider can be front tucked by a strong pull on the A-risers or when
encountering strong sink. The leading edge will fold forward along the whole length
