    Don’t just apply more and more brake without sensitivity. The skywalk POISON 2 enters the spiral dive with a high bank angle and makes a fast steep turn. The banking and sinking can be controlled by dosed pulling resp. loosen- ing the inner brakeline.
  • Page 14 The skywalk POISON 2 has no tendency for locking into a spiral dive unless the Pilot sits with his weight on the inner side of the curve and does not sit in a neutral position in the harness. In this case shift your weight to the outside of the turn and simultane- ously apply more outside brake.
