THE RISERS
For the Nucleon WRC Cabrio we have chosen four-way risers equipped
with:
+
ELR
(Easy Launch Riser) system. This is an specially
marked A riser (yellow ribbon),
+
manual speed-system affecting A, B and C risers
when engaged, equipped with a handle and trimmer buckle to lock it in
desired position;
+
trimmers of red band with visible scale, designed for quick and easy
replacement in case of deterioration;
+
various levels of the pulleys, to be used depending on the hangpoint
level;
+
ALC+ allows for effective turns even at high speed,
without distorting reflex profile too much. Steering is
done with dedicated TST handles (Tip Seering
Toggles).
+
TEA -Torque Effect Adjuster – allowing for eliminating the effect of
engine torque, tending to turn the paraglider in the direction opposite
to the propeller's rotation. The system can be adjusted to match your
specific combination of paramotor/propeller.
For quick and easy recognition in emergency, some of the risers are
distinguished with coloured band as follows:
A - yellow (used for launching)
A' - black neoprene (used for big ears)
B - red (used for B-stall)
D - grey (needed to keep the glider down in strong wind – aborted
launch).
Main A row suspension lines connect to an A riser (yellow) and A' (black
neoprene). B row and stabiliser lines go to B riser (red), C lines go to C riser
(black neoprene) and D lines to D riser (grey), as well as steering lines
(through their pulleys).
Brake handles are attached to the steering lines at optimal point,
guaranteeing safe and effective operation. On the main brake line there are
two point marked, higher and lower, to be used depending on the harness
hangpoint level.
On adjusting the steering lines see chapter 3.1.
Our newest brake handle used in Nucleon WRC Cabrio besides its
attractive, light design, features:
+
a swivel – preventing possible twisting of the steering
line,
+
TCT (Triple Comfort Toggle) system,
+
EK (Easy Keeper) system
