Multigrip brake handle and replacing it
The procedure is the same to insert the
stiffeners: turn the Multigrip brake handle
inside out and push the stiffening bar/tube
into the handle again through the opening.
There is also a swivel
where the brake
lines/brake handles connect to prevent the
brake lines from twisting.
Risers
The 20mm wide risers specially developed
for the Sting 2 are grouped into five and
allow a variety of uses for the Sting 2.
WARNING
The paraglider is delivered ex factory with
the Maillon quick links secured using
Loctite
(a strong thread-locking
compound) to prevent unintentional
opening. After service work, any quick
links which have been opened must be
secured again against unintentional
opening.
For free flight, it is fitted with a speed system
which is activated using a speed bar.
This is a two-stage speed system. In the first
stage (accelerator travel 130mm by putting
the speed bar lines through the D-ring) the
Sting 2 meets the requirements for class A,
making it suitable for use as a training glider.
