Page 4: Introduction
Congratulations for you choosing to buy the new SCOTCH.HY and placing your trust in skywalk. We are sure you will enjoy every minute of your flying time. In order to fully understand how to begin flying your new wing, and increase the enjoyment, we recommend that you read the instruction book in full. -
Page 5: Description
Trimmer can be used to counter balance or offset the torque of the motor and also increase the trim speed of the wing in flight. The SCOTCH.HY is also certified to 130 kg/150 kg dependent on the size of total weight under the DULV certification. -
Page 6: Line System
The SCOTCH.HY uses a 5 riser system. Both of the inner A-Main lines risers lead to the forward A Gurt, the outer A Lines lead to the back A Gurt, the B Lines to the B Gurt, the C lines and Stabilator line lead to the C Gurt and the D lines to the D Gurt. - Page 7 (Paragliding Wing and Motorsystem) is in proper flight maintenance and condition and is serviced maintained. The skywalk SCOTCH.HY is only permitted to be flown where permission is granted from the legal authorities governing each country. Your skywalk SCOTCH.HY has already under gone many careful Quality Control checks.

Page 9: Acceleration System
If the Speed System is activated then the A,B, and C-riser systems are shortened: In that way, we allow for flight in the most accelerated speed range. The SCOTCH.HY has a Trimmer and Speed System. Using the ScOtcH.HY in non motorized flight. Free Flight mode. From starts from a mountain, the trimmer can be connected into the main carabine lock. - Page 10 The Pilot activates the speed system using his foot and extending it, thus the A-B-C Riser is shortened lowering the angle of attack. Motorised Flight The SCOTCH.HY is certified for Motorised flight to the upper speed range of the Trimmer as registered under DULV. Speedbar is not allowed to use for Motorised flight. assembly The Motor Riser which is attached to the Motor system, has roller attachments for the speed system.

Motor Hangpoints. That way the optimal point of reaching the steering and brake system and lines is maintained. Also the SCOTCH.HY has an additional Trimmer System which increases the overal speed of the wing plus corrects for the torque motion in flight. - Page 13 Start your SCOTCH.HY wing with your Motor first on your local flight park and in low wind or optimal weather conditions.
- Page 14 Using a nice homogeneous surge to start the skywalk SCOTCH.HY, the wings leading edge should fill itself quickly and reliably. By normal wind conditions, making sure the wind is coming optimally from the front, your SCOTCH.HY should climb upward and over you in a continual patch.
- Page 15 Flying in curves (Motor and near mountains) The SCOTCH.HY has a direct handling response when flying in curves. The wing has a high level of safety reserves, however this wing should not be flown by complete beginners. The SCOTCH.HY has a high level of precision handling, and it great fun when using a motor.
- Page 16 The skywalk SCOTCH.HY is simple to land. When making your final approach against the wind, let the wing glide out in combination with light braking. When the wing has reached a level of 1 meter over ground, increase your braking as this will decrease the angle of attack of the wing and will slow the wing.

Page 17: Flight Decent Assitance
The steep spiral manuever is best performed when the SCOTCH.HY enters a sharp axilar curve and starts to fly in a quicker steeper curve. This sharp axilar curve and sinking speed is controlled using a measured dose of increased or decrease of the brakes on the curve inner side. - Page 18 necessary to always allow for sufficient safe altitude. In order to avoid a strong pendulum movement during the ending phase of the steep spiral, you should slowly release the curve inside brake, while holding tension on the outer brake. If the wing starts to react and dive into a stronger asymettrisch spiral caused by some bad factors, (for instance by having the harness cross straps pulled to tight), you must actively stop the spiral by placing your body weight on the curve outside side, and substancially increase the brake pressure on the outside wing side.
- Page 19 Manuever is used when an area of danger exists and you want to change your direction horizontally and fly out of the danger area quickly. To perform this „Big Ear“ manuever pull down both outside A-risers. Now you can easily lose altitude without any danger, by decreasing the wing surface and causing the wing to fly only from the mid section of the wing.
- Page 20 When applying brake pressure on the good side, you may experience some roll down of the wing tip but that should not have any real relevance on safety. The SCOTCH.HY should perform extremely well when reopening and not have any negative tendency in direction control.
- Page 21 The Pilot can try and correct this flying condition by lightly pulling forward on the A Gurt at the height of the line locks, or through apply pressure on his speed bar. The skywalk SCOTCH.HY normally should correct itself automatically to get out of this backstall condition.
- Page 22 Through a symettric holding of the brakes, you will hinder or minimalize the tendency of the wing to shoot forward. In the event that the Pilot does not apply the brakes, the skywalk SCOTCH.HY will shoot forward marginally, where a possible front stall collapse of the wing could happen.
- Page 23 inner wingspan. After a longer held negative curve, it may be that the wing will shoot forward considerably on one side, after release. This may lead to a one sided wing collapse. A cross over stabilizing harness strap will increase the tendency of spin in all wings.

The line system of the skywalk SCOTCH.HY is made of a Technora or Dyneema Core with a polyester outer covering . Excessive stress, over weight, or strain on the materials is to be avoided, as this could... - Page 26 Every form of visual damage to the lines, even when the damage is only to the outer sheaf, requires that you replace that line. Replacing a line requires that you contact a skywalk authorized service center to make sure you the proper exchange.
