CAUTION
DUE TO THE TWO MAIN LINE CONCEPT (2 A MAIN LINES PER SIDE) AND THE
RESULTING POSSIBILITY TO PULL VERY BIG EARS WITH ONLY ONE MAIN LINE,
DO NOT GRAB THE (AII) LINES.
Very big ears increase the angle of attack and the drag, whereby you are very close to
the stall point. When making big ears, we recommend to use the speed system in order
to increase sink and minimize the risk of parachutal stall.
EXAMPLES:
> In strong winds or below a thundercloud it is possible that neither B- line stall or spiral
dive will help. Big ears are the easy way out.
> If the pilot is stuck in strong lift and needs to look for sink it is advisable to exit the
lift band with the use of big ears.
CAUTION:
ALL DESCENT TECHNIQUES SHOULD BE TRAINED IN CALM AIR CONDITIONS
AND WITH SUFFICIENT ALTITUDE BEFORE USING THEM IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND IN TURBULENT AIR CONDITIONS.
CAREFULLY PACKING YOUR PARAGLIDER WIL INCREASE ITS LONGEVITY.
> Packing your glider precisely guarantees a constant and high level of quality.
> Shake the canopy out gently to remove leaves,grass, sand,etc
> Sort the lines evenly and arrange them on the canopy.
> Make sure that your glider is in dry condition before packing.
> Lay the glider cell upon cell – from the middle of the glider outwards - from the sec-
ond cell, so that the plastic reinforcements of the leading edge lay neatly on top of
one another.
> This gathering method naturally goes faster with two people, one at the leading edge
and one at the end of the glider, but with some practice you will be able to performthis task easily.
> Fold over the gathered cloth from the bottom up, pressing the air out as you go fold
the complete cell over once towards the middle>repeat the same packing method
on the other glider half.
> Now lay both sides on top of one another and make sure that the leading edge rein-
forcements lay neatly on top of one another.
> Fold the cells from the bottom in the direction of the leading edge, the first fol should
have approximately the length from hand to elbow.
> The leading edge can be folded inward once from the upper end, but this is not total-
ly necessary. However, any air remaining inside the glider should be pressed out
> through the leading edge, and not through the material.l
> Now place the compression band around the glider across the leading edge
> Place the entire glider into the inner pack sack. This protects the glider from being
damaged by the zipper or other objects.
> Open the pack sack and lay the glider inside. The soft material here provides for
good carrying comfort for your lower back.
> Now lay the harness with the seat board upwards onto the glider in the pack sack
and (in most cases), close with the zipper. The top of the packsack offers enough
space for helmet, overall, instruments, etc.

The rods in the leading edge replace the well-known mylar and bring considerable advantages, especially with regard to the launch performance of your CAYENNE4. They
are resistant to bending and require no special handling. The same applies to the reinforcements above the C-connection points (C-wires).
Tip: Be careful that you do not pack your skywalk CAYENNE4 too tightly and
treat the leading edge area with special care. Your wing will thank you with a
longer product life.
