4. Frontcontainer
(Pogo3 2R version only)
Pogo 3 2R has a frontcontainer which can house an alternative rescue chute.
It is equipped with a short V-riser connecting the rescue chute to
the carabiners of the harness. The frontcontainer is – similarly as the cockpit – integrated
with the pod and has an additional instrument panel, featuring safety knife too.
The frontcontainer will best accommodate light rescue chutes, e.g. Globe Light 90 or
Globe Light 110 manufactured by Dudek Paragliders. It is possible to install parachutes of
other brands too, given that their dimensions when packed do not exceed those of the
frontcontainer.
Container capacity:
Max 5700 cm3
Min 4500 cm3
!
After each installation of a rescue chute in a frontcontainer a compatibility test is necessary.
In order to do that, hang the harness, equipped and packed as for flight. Seat down in the
harness and assume the usual position in flight. Grab the frontcontainer release handle and
pull it to the side in a resolute effort, so that the parachute is completely out of the container.
Still, do not throw it away, so that the bag remains closed. If the trial was successful, put the
rescue back into the frontcontainer.
