Technical Description
Line system
The MIURA RS has A, B and C- line
levels, which fork twice from the
bottom (riser) to the top (canopy) and
which are divided into main, middle
and top lines. The individual line levels
are connected with one another using
the “handshake knot”
.
The Maintenance and Service book has
a detailed line connection plan,
showing the individual levels,
connections and line descriptions.
With the brake lines, the individual
levels are bundled at the end with the
main brake line. This runs through the
brake pulley on the riser and is knotted
at the brake swivel of the control
handle. There is a mark on the main
brake line which allows the control
handle to be correctly positioned.
The main lines are all attached to
Maillon quick links. The lines are fed
through special elastic rings and
attached to prevent them from
slipping and to ensure that they sit in
the correct position.
Risers
WARNING
The paraglider is delivered ex factory
with the Maillon quick links secured

to prevent
unintentional opening. After service
work, quick links which have been
opened must be secured again
against unintentional opening.
The 12mm wide risers, specially
developed for the MIURA RS with
Kevlar reinforcement allow the pilot to
adjust the speed of the MIURA RS
using a pulley system to suit his/her
individual preference.
There is more information on using the
speed s
ystem in the section “Flying the
MIURA RS
