Skywalk Join’t5 – Tandem

£3,998.95

The JOIN’T5 was specifically designed to meet the needs of professional tandem flying. During the development phase, we paid particular attention to the feedback of experienced tandem pilots to ensure it meets the high demands of this target group. With three available sizes, the JOIN’T5 covers an impressive weight range from 100 kg to 240 kg, making it extremely versatile. 

Its reliable take-off characteristics and dynamic yet enjoyable flight behavior make the JOIN’T5 the perfect partner for demanding workdays. Practical features such as the big-ears-aid and the adjustable brake pulley height make handling even easier. The robust construction, with targeted reinforcements at highly stressed areas, guarantees maximum durability and ensures long-lasting enjoyment, even with intensive professional use.

Description

Flight chracteristics

The proven line setup of the JOIN’T5 enables easy and quick pre-flight preparation by effectively reducing tangles during sorting. Thanks to its strong performance, the JOIN’T5 lifts off early from the ground, ensuring a safe and smooth take-off. 

In the air, the JOIN’T5 impresses with precise responsiveness, even in the upper ergonomic working range. For smaller pilots, the brake pulley height can be individually adjusted to optimize ergonomics. The low steering pressure saves energy but increases noticeably as it approaches the stall point, providing a secure and controlled flight experience. The glider delivers a dynamic and enjoyable flying experience with finely adjustable bank angle. Its direct handling makes dynamic maneuvers such as wingovers pure fun – for both pilots and passengers. 

The split A-risers and the integrated big-ears-aid make applying big ears effortless and energy-efficient. Additionally, the powerful trimmer with a 15 cm range significantly increases speed and expands the glider’s versatility. During landing, the JOIN’T5 shines with its excellent flare characteristics, allowing the energy to be precisely controlled for a smooth and safe touchdown for both pilot and passenger. The JOIN’T5 combines comfort, efficiency, and flying fun in a perfectly balanced tandem wing – an ideal choice for professional and demanding pilots.

RIGID FOIL

The Rigid Foil nylon wires on the leading edge help maintain its shape and ensure constant ram air pressure. Advantages: better take-off behavior, more performance and lower canopy weight.

MINI RIBS

Doubling the number of cells at the trailing edge increases its shape stability substantially. Advantage: fewer vortices improve the aerodynamics and with it the performance.

JET-FLAP Icon

JET FLAPS

Our JET FLAPS extend the green arc as you approach the stall point, which substantially increases safety and also improves climb performance.

SHARK NOSE

Together with a corresponding wing design, the shark nose technology improves pressure distribution in the canopy substantially. Advantages: much more solid flying feeling and substantial performance gain, especially when gliding on bar.

SMART LINK SYSTEM

Color coded seams on the risers to ensure that the risers are connected correctly and without being twisted. red = left; blue = right

3D-SHAPING

A precise calculation of the leading edge geometry and the installation of an additional strip of fabric reduce wrinkling in this sensitive part of the glider. Advantages: exact wing shape, more performance.

SAND RELEASE SYSTEM 2.0

Porous openings of the profile ribs at the trailing edge ensure that sand and dirt in the glider are automatically guided to the wingtip where they can trickle out. There is a dirt release opening located at the stabilo. This helps preserve the material and “relieves” the trailing edge.

Optional accessories

HYBRID tandem spreader bar

The tandem spreader can be used both as a rigid spreader and as a soft spreader. Weighing just 480g including the V-line, it is not only particularly light, but also extremely robust thanks to the high-quality materials used. When used as a soft spreader, the weight is reduced to an impressive 360g. You can order the HYBRID tandem spreader bar from your skywalk dealer or in the skywalk Online Shop.

Optionales Zubehör

FLASHBAG

The FLASHBAG was specially developed to enable tandem pilots to pack their equipment particularly quickly after landing. In combination with the GUIDE and GUEST harnesses, the FLASHBAG can also be used as a packing bag for the entire tandem equipment if the protectors are deflated beforehand. You can order the FLASHBAG from your skywalk dealer or in the skywalk Online Shop.
