Adjusting Bake Lines
Note!
The main brake lines must be checked by an expert before the first test of the paraglider.
Correct Adjust
Properly installed brake lines have almost no flow. This means you have to pull the
brakes down a little until the trailing edge of the canopy starts to move downwards and
start braking. This is the manufacturer's setting. Basically this paraglider has a very long
brake.
To Long Set
If the brake lines are too long, the paraglider reacts slowly and is difficult to land.
However, you can wrap during the flight the brake lines around your hands to reduce the
problem. After landing the brake lines should adjusted to the correct length.
Recommendation:
After touch down we recommend the brake lines again to wrap around the hand. When
approaching use the brakes as less as possible, so the speed is not to low. Flair the
glider evenly with both brake lines. After the flight the glider should fall behind the
trike.
Accident risk!
If the brake lines are too short, the following risks:
A stall can occur to early
The paraglider does not launch well and there is a constant stall risk.
The glider can makes a dangerous extreme flight behavior.
