Plume (P) models - please note
The P models were designed with the idea of saving weight across the
entire equipment. To achieve this, Niviuk decided to deliver the wings
without the classic Brummel hooks and opting for a kite-style knotting
system. This system offers the same efficiency and safety as the classic
Brummel hooks, but with much less weight.
Graphic 2. Speed-bar connection using a kite-style knotting system
(without Brummel hooks).
1. We make a knot in the speed-bar cord and we pass this through the
cord connections on the risers.
2. Apply tension to both sides until the knots are located tightly in the
riser connections.
The system or procedure for connecting the kite knot is exactly the same
as the Brummel hooks and can be used in other systems or connection
elements.
2.5.2 Changing the riser cords.
In spite of the speed system having pulleys with bearings to reduce
friction to a minimum, the frequency with which the speed-bar is used
causes the cord to wear and pilots may need to replace them.
In all Niviuk gliders the speed system cords on the risers are completely
removable and replaceable. The pilot can use the Brummel hooks, not
use them, remove them, use another type of hook, etc. It is even possible
to fix the speed-bar cords directly to the speed system on the risers. This
last option makes the connection / disconnection more laborious, but
means the cord has maximum travel without obstructions or restrictions
