fully. When you have reached the ground safely, stall the glider warily. Avoid turning
sharply before your final approach. This increases the danger of pendulum effect!
WINCHTOWING:
The skywalk MESCAL4 is very suitable for winchtowing. Make sure you climb from the
ground at a flat angle.
> Pilot must be instructed in towing.
> Pilot must use a certified winch.
> Winch driver must be instructed in towing. When towing please steer carefully, do not
over-brake, the glider will fly with an increased angle of approach.
MOTORISED FLIGHT:
You can inform yourself about the current status of certification of motorised flight at
your dealer, national distributor or directly through us. At this time (March 2011) we
don’t have a license.
CAREFULLY PACKING YOUR PARAGLIDER WIL INCREASE ITS LONGEVITY.
> Empty the glider from all debris such as leaves, twigs, grass, sand etc.
> Sort out your lines and spread them evenly on the glider.
> Make sure the glider is dry when storing it for a longer period of time.
> Fold the glider starting in the middle and working your way to the outside always
folding 2 cells, so that the leading edge is folded cleanly.
> Fold the cells, starting from the second cell from the middle, so that the reinforced
edges of the cell openings are on top of each other, do the same at the lower long-
edge of the glider. This folding method is best done together with a friend, but you
should be able to do the same on your own after some practice.
> Then press the air out of the folded glider starting at the bottom and working your
way to the top.
> Fold the whole row once toward the middle, do exactly the same on the other side.
> Then fold one half onto the other half and make sure the leading edge are folded
cleanly.
> Start wrapping up the glider from its lower end. The wraps should be approx. 1ft.
wide.
> The leading edge can be folded inwards once, but is not necessary.
> The left over air should be pressed out of the glider and not through the material
(this can increase the porosity of your glider).
