Technical Description
Folding lines
Special folding lines were used when the
Core 3 was going through certification.
Without these folding lines, tucks and front
stalls may vary from the EN-D guidelines.
The folding lines are in effect duplicates of
the front A-risers. At the canopy, the folding
lines are attached to special loops at the
rear of the air inlet. At the lower end, their
three main lines are attached to a special
riser. This riser is longer than the normal
riser for the Core 3, so that the folding lines
do not affect the canopy in any way when
they are not being used.
Please contact Swing if you have any
questions regarding use of the folding lines
and riser.
Risers
The 12mm wide risers specially developed
for the Core 3 with Kevlar reinforcement
allow the pilot to use a pulley system to
adjust the speed of the Core 3 to suit
individual preference. There is more
information on use of the speed system in
the section “Flying the Core 3”.
