Brake Lines
The ”brake lines” are not load carrying suspension lines. They lead from the trailing edge of
the canopy to the main brake lines and run through the low friction rings on the C-risers to
the brake handles A mark on the main brake line indicates the position of the brake handle.
This adjustment, on the one hand, allows sufficient brake to be applied during extreme
flying situations and when landing, while on the other hand, this ensures that brakes are
not permanently applied to the canopy (especially when fully accelerated).
We are convinced it is better to have slightly long brake lines and to fly with a wrap
(one turn of line around the hand) to maximize performance of your glider. The brake line
lengths have been set carefully. This trimming should not be altered.
Risers
The Aravis is equipped with 4 risers per side. The A-riser is covered with coloured
webbing, to allow for easy identification. The main suspension loop, on the bottom of the
riser, is covered red. This is where the main karabiner should be hooked in, which then in
turn connects the risers to the harness.
The risers are equipped with a stirrup operated speed-system, which returns automatically
to normal position when the stirrup is released. The speed system affects the A-, A1- and
B- risers and changes the angle of attack.
In normal flight all risers have an overall length of 49.5 cm without quick links. When the
stirrup is pushed out the A-risers are shortened by up to a maximum of 8.5 cm,
the A1-risers are shortened by up to a max. of 8.5 cm , the B-risers by up to a max. of
4.0 cm, the C-risers retain their original length. These measurements influence the
certification!
An incorrectly fitted speed system causes loss of certification!
The risers do not feature trimmers.
