The entire rigging system comprises individual suspension lines looped
and stitched at each end.
The A- and B- main lines and the main brake lines are 2 mm in diameter,
the top lines, brake cascades and stabilizer lines are all 1.1 mm.
The suspension lines are comprised of „cascaded top lines“ (attached to
the undersurface), “cascaded middle lines“ (cascade 2 to 4 top lines
together), and “main lines“.
These cascade 2 to 4 middle elements and lead to the “quick link“ (a
Mallion Rapide that connects lines and risers).
The “stabilizer lines“ connect the upper stabilizer lines on the outer
suspension points with the quick link.
The “brake lines“ are not load carrying suspension lines. They lead from
the trailing edge of the canopy to the “main brake lines“ running through
the “pulleys“ 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, it ensures that the canopy is not permanently braked (especially
when fully accelerated). This trimming should not be altered.
For differentiation purposes A- lines, A- risers, stabilizer lines and the
upper brake lines are coloured pink, the main brake lines are blue and
all remaining lines are yellow.
The line connections are made to triangular mallion rapides (quick links)
fitted with a rubber “o- ring“ (normally used as a seal) in the form of a
“figure eight“ which prevents any slipping of the lines on the quick link.
The NOVA ARGON is equipped with 3 risers per side.
The A-main lines are attached to the A-riser. The B-lines and the stabi-
lizer lines are attached to the B- riser.
The C/D-main and the brake lines attach to the C-riser.
