MOTORISED FLIGHT:
The CHILI3 is not certified for motorized flight. We have developed special gliders for
motorized flight. They can be found in our MOTORIZER program.
DESCENT TECHNIQUES
This handbook should not be used as a textbook for learning how to paraglide. Accord-
ing to the local rules and regulations, instruction and training must be carried out in li-
censed schools. The following information will help you to get the most out of your sky-
walk CHILI3.
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
and the sink rate doesn’t increase, then try again. Do not simply apply more and more
brake without sensitivity. The skywalk CHILI3 enters the spiral dive with a high bank-
ing angle and makes a fast steep turn. The banking and sinking can be controlled by a
carefully dosed pulling resp. loosening of the inner brake line. Smooth braking of the
outer wingtip will prevent collapse and also speed can be controlled better in hard spi-
rals. The spiral is the most effective tool in losing altitude. This is an advantage and a
disadvantage at the same time, the pilot needs to be able to handle the resulting high
rate of sink.
CAUTION:
THE HIGH SINK RATE CAUSES HIGH PHYSICAL STRAIN DUE TO THE INCREAS-
ING CENTRIFUGAL FORCES AND MAY CAUSE BLACKOUTS!
Tensioning the stomach muscles during the spiral dive can help. At the first signs of diz-
ziness or feeling faint exit the spiral dive immediately. Because of the extreme loss of
altitude experienced during a spiral dive always ensure you have enough height above
ground. To avoid a strong surge when exiting the spiral dive you have to release the
inside brake whilst applying the outer brake slightly. The CHILI3 has no tendency to-
wards a stable spiral dive. The pilot must not sit neutrally in the harness, but must ac-
tively shift the weight to the inside of the turn. Should the glider reset under adverse
