For the Orca 5 we have chosen four-way

risers equipped with:

ELR (Easy Launch Riser) - system. It

is a specially marked A riser (with red
cover)

trimmer with replaceable (in case of
deterioration) regulation strap,

affecting the B, C and D risers.

For quick and easy recognition in

emergency, some of the risers are

distinguished with coloured covers as

follows:

A - red (used for launching)

A' – red (used for big ears),

B - yellow (used for B-stall),

D - blue (needed to keep the glider

down in strong wind – aborted

launch).
