Lines
Depending on the line level, we use different line diameters. The complete
geometry of the lines is shown on the single line plan, which you find in the annex
of the manual.
The end control of all line lengths is documented for all paragliders produced by
ICARO paragliders. The complete geometry of the lines is shown on the single line
plan, which you find in the annex of the manual.
The length of the steering lines is set correctly at the factory and should not
be changed. The improper adjustment of the steering lines can cause severe
changes to in flight behavior.
Risers
The Glider
has 3 fold risers with separated A-risers an acceleration system which
will be activated with a foot bar and a Trimmspeed Optimizer (TSO), mounted on
the rear riser. The risers are signified. The main break line comes through a return
pulleys, the handle of the main break line is mounted on the C- riser. The
acceleration system is mounted on the A- riser.
To fix it with the foot bar you must connect the brummel
hooks of the foot bar with the brummel hook of the
acceleration system.
How to vary the trim of the glider
MAVERICK 3
has an acceleration system and the Trimmspeed Optimizer (TSO)
that allows a specific extension of the rear riser.
Acceleration system
Most commercially available harnesses have pulleys
attached for the speed system.
The lines of the speed system are fed up through
the pulleys on the harness and connected with the
brummel hook or the foot bar.
When flying normal all risers have the same
length. When using the accelerator system
the risers are shortened by a constructive
exactly defined length.
Therefore the angle of attack of the canopy
is smaller and speed increases.
The length of the accelerator is adjusted to
the left and right of the foot pedal so that
when your leg is fully extended, then the
acceleration is at maximum
– both rollers
are touching.
Make sure that the speed system lines runs freely.
Please pay attention that the glider will not be pre-accelerated, while the
accelerator is loosened, when the acceleration ropes are set too short.
