1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to skywalk! Congratulations on the purchase of your new PACE and thank you for your trust in us and in our products. In this manual you will find product-specific information that will help you quickly get to know your new paraglider to ensure your fun for a long time. -
Page 4: Description
The PACE has been tested according to the LTF/EN standard and has passed with a rating of B. In principle, any pilot can fly the PACE after training. However, a single skin paraglider differs in its handling compared to a conventional paraglider. -
Page 5: Technical Data
The layout of the suspension points is designed for optimal load distribution and a long lifespan. With all considerations and calculations however, our focus is always on safety. The mix of materials used on the lines of the PACE is an ideal combination of durability, low stretch and low drag. -
Page 6: Acceleration System
A schematic drawing of the risers can be found at the back of the manual. 5 ACCELERATION SYSTEM The skywalk PACE does not have an acceleration system but can be retrofitted with a trim system. However, when using the trim system, the type approval according to EN/LTF becomes invalid. - Page 7 PACE will be positioned above the pilot. Lateral deviations are best corrected by walking underneath. Keep the brakes in your hand during the launch, but typically, the PACE does not require corrections using the brakes.

Page 8: Descent Techniques
> To recover, slowly release the A-lines. The glider usually will reinflate by itself. > During the maneuver, the ears of the PACE are not stable and will therefore flutter. > To speed up reinflation, pull lightly on the brakes. Another proven technique is to first reinflate one side of the glider, then then other. -
