THE LINE SYSTEM
The parasitic line drag has been minimized by bifurcating (branching) the lines between canopy
and riser at three levels and by adapting their diameters to the occurring loads. Only high-quality
Cousin Trestec, Super Aramid and Dynema lines are used.
These high-tech lines meet the highest requirements for a paraglider line in a special manner: the
remarkable tension stability ensures that line lengths retain original values even after long periods
of use. This avoids dangerous changes of flight characteristics resulting from different tensions. At
the same time, kink resistance passes highest test standards. The line groups A, B, C and D each
lead separately to the appropriate riser, making it possible to access each set of lines separately,
for example when B-lining (see the section on techniques for descending). The stabi is connected
to the B-level. Additionally there is a separate “Baby A-riser” enabling easier application of “Big-
ears”. A, Stabi and brake lines are yellow. B, C and D lines are red.
