asymetric tuck
The CHILI 2 is extremely good natured regarding collapses for a glider of this
class. However, you cannot completely rule out a collapse in strong turbulence.
The skywalk CHILI 2 will re-open automatically even after bigger collapses within a turn of
a radius of 90°-180°. The turn 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 CHILI 2.
Still, in extremely turbulent air or during exceptional piloting errors it is possible
that the folded wing section might get tangled in the lines.
The pilot may then stabilise 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 paraglid-
er by performing a full stall. Only experienced pilots, with a lot of flight experience
should attempt this manoeuvre. Make sure you have enough altitude to recover the full
stall in time.
