The main lines are 3.15mm strong, the middle cascades are 2.15mm, the top
cascades, the stabilizer lines and the middle elements of the brakes are 1.7mm,
the top cascades of the brakes 1.1mm strong.
These cascade 2 to 4 middle elements and lead to the ”quick link” (a mallion
rapide that connects lines and risers).
The ”stabilizer lines” connect the upper stabilizer lines on the outer suspension
points with the quick link.
The ”brake lines” are not load carrying suspension lines. They lead from the trailing
edge of the canopy to the ”main brake lines” running through the ”pulleys” on the
D-risers to the ”brake handles”.
A mark on the main brake line indicates the position of the brake handle.
This adjustment, on the one hand, allows sufficient brake to be applied during
extreme flying situations and when landing, while on the other hand, it ensures
that the canopy is not permanently braked (especially when fully accelerated). This
trimming should not be altered.
For differentiation purposes A- lines, A- risers, stabilizer lines and the upper brake
lines are coloured red, the main brake lines are blue and all remaining lines are
yellow.
The line connections are made to triangular mallion rapides (quick links) fitted with
a rubber ”o- ring” (normally used as a seal) in the form of a ”figure eight” which
prevents any slipping of the lines on the quick link.
The NOVA PHOR2 is equipped with 4 risers per side.
The A-lines are attached to the A-riser, the B-lines and the stabilizer lines are at-
tached to the B- riser. The C-lines to the C-riser. The D-main and the brake lines
attach to the D-riser.
See line plan for details.
Trim system:
The NOVA PHOR2 is equipped with a trim system on the D-riser. In slow (closed)
position, all risers have the same length. In the fast (opened) position, the C riser
got longer by 3cm, the D by 6cm. This enables easy adjusting of the angle of at-
tach.
Flying with open trimmer doesn’t influence the certification class of the PHOR2.
