2.7 Risers
The PARATECH P43 is equipped with a 4 part riser with an additional speed system
attached. A second A-Riser makes ’’Big Ears’’ easier .Optimal simplicity for launch-
ing. B-Stall possibility, steering with D-Risers and perfect geometry for accelerated
flying plus weight specified strength where the most important aspect during devel-
opment of the risers.
2.8 Line-Layout
The clever line layout of the P43 allows for a layout which not only warranties a para-
glider with great strength but also exceptional flight performance and launch handling.
This line layout is also reduces the hindering air resistance to a minimum.
2.9 Cascading Lines
The trailing edge is steered with the cascading lines. The design permits one to han-
dle the P43 with very little pull on the steering line and without negative spinning. The
brake lay out is arranged so that even the pilots who over compensate will be ab-
sorbed by the P43.
2.10 Line Controll
All lines used by PARATECH are prestreched and are measured and sewn with
highest precision. Every P43 receives a well documented final line length control.
2.11 Material
The top surface and cell walls consist of an special coated water repellent Nylon fab-
ric of highest quality. Next to superb durability this fabric is also highly colorfast, di-
agonal elastic and does not stretch out of shape. The bottom surface consists of a
extremely pliable Nylon fabric with high tear resistance. The ribs are sewn of a Nylon
fabric made to handle optimal stress.
The P43’s lines are made with a HMA center ( H igh- M olecular- A ramid) coated with a
PE synthetic for protection. A combination of lines with a diameter of 1.8 mm,1.3 mm
and 1.1 mm and a maximum pull of 229 daN, 144 daN and 114 daN are used. The
advantage of this combination is an extremely small stretch and an precise defined
elasticity with high pliability and long durability.
