3. Speed system
The Dudek VOX can be flown with a speed bar operated system.
The VOX has 3 risers. All A lines are attached to the A and A" riser, the B
lines and the stabiliser together to the B riser, the 3rd riser, "C", leads to all
the C-lines and attaches the brake lines trough pulleys.
The speed system affects the risers A (with A") and the B. In normal flight all
risers have an overall length of 55 cm. When the speed bar is being pushed
out, A-risers and gradually B-risers are shortening up to the difference of 2
cm between them. Speed system is able to shorten A and B risers up to 15
cm and 13 cm respectively. C-risers retain their original length.
An incorrectly fitted speed system results in the loss of certification!
HOW IS IT FITTED?
Most modern harnesses have pulleys attached for speed system fitting.
In case not, it is important to attach pulleys (sewn on tabs) in such a way
that, allows the pilot to maximise the power vector of his / her legs, without
"pushing back" in the harness.

speed system cord is firmly attached (use bowline or other non-slip knot) to
the speed bar. The other end of the cord is run through a pulley on the
harness and then in an upward direction, to be firmly attached to a small
carabiner with very strong spring action. The length of the cord leading to the
speed bar should be such that it is easy to put your feet into the bar in flight,
and yet short enough to allow the full speed range. To achieve full range of
Vox speed system, double speed bar should be used.
Ensure both cords on the speed bar are of equal length, to avoid putting a
turn in the paraglider. Test your speed system for the correct length of cord
on the ground first, with your harness and risers, before flying with it!
The full range is reached, when the 2 pulleys join together.
The speed system utilises a pulley mechanism, which results in shortening
the risers as described above.
HOW TO USE IT?
Before launch, attach risers of paraglider to the harness with main
carabiners.
