The Skywalk Chili5 is designed for thermal and cross-country (XC) pilots who seek a glider that can deliver power easily and efficiently in all conditions.
The Chili5 is a fast climber, with brake line input directly converted to provide control travel and braking forces that meet the requirements of thermal and XC pilots. This ensures a safe landing even after many hours in the air. In turbulent conditions, the Chili5 provides enough feedback to avoid glider disturbances before they happen.
Ground handling is made easy thanks to the user-friendly line setup, and internal seams on the mini-ribs increase robustness during ground handling and launch preparations. The handling is very intuitive, and the glider gives you precise feedback, which builds confidence and makes you feel comfortable immediately.
The Chili5 takes on thermals well, making it extremely easy to find the core of the thermal. When flying on bar, you can control the angle of attack via the rear risers and significantly increase your average speed thanks to the Skywalk SPEED CONTROL system.
Constructed with a fabric mix of TX-Light and Dominico 30 DMF, the Chili5 is lighter than its predecessor, improving the flying characteristics without compromising on robustness and aging resistance. This not only reduces the weight in your rucksack but also enhances the flying experience.
In summary, the Skywalk Chili5 shines with maximum performance, uncomplicated handling, and an adequate safety cushion. It’s the perfect glider for pilots ready for a test flight and looking to enjoy relaxed XC flying with a comfortable feeling. The Chili5 opens up a new dimension of freedom and confidence in flight, setting new standards in the flying experience.
