the maillons through consecutive cascades as well. The same story goes
for the steering lines. They run from the trailing edge through several layers
to the main lines, which are lead through the pulleys connected to the rear
risers and then fixed to the brake handles. Steering lines do not carry any
load.
RISERS
Colt features three-way risers, equipped with:
+
ELR (Easy Launch Riser). This is a specially marked A
riser (yellow ribbon)
+
speed-system affecting A and B risers when engaged.
For quick and easy recognition some of the risers are distinguished with
coloured band as follows:
A - yellow (used during launch),
B - red (used for B-stall)
C - grey (needed to keep the glider down in strong wind - aborted launch)
Main A row suspension lines connect to an A riser (yellow) and A'. B row
and stabiliser lines go to B riser (red) and C lines to C’ and C riser (grey) as
well as steering lines (through their pulleys).
Brake handles are attached to the steering lines at optimal point,
guaranteeing safe and effective operation. It is marked black on the main
brake line and this setting should not be changed. Fixing brake handles
above that point causes permanent braking of the paraglider which can
easily lead to an accident. Overly long brake lines are not advised either, as
total lack of strain can prove dangerous in some situations.
Our newest SCT steering handle used in Colt, besides its attractive, light
design, features:
+
soft neoprene cover,
+
a swivel to prevent possible twisting of the steering
line,
+
EK (Easy Keeper) system.

pulleys and finished with a loop holding small hook. There you attach the
speed bar line. In normal flight all risers have an overall length of 510 mm.
Speed system affects risers A (with A') and B. When the bar is being pushed,
