The suspension lines are distinguished between ‘fork-lines’ ( near the
undersurface ) and ‘principal-lines’ ( which lead to two to four fork
lines) which lead to the ‘quick link’ ( a Mallion Rapide that connects
lines and risers ).The ‘stabiliser lines’ connect the stabilisers to the
quick link.
The ‘control / brake lines’ are not suspension lines. They lead from
the trailing edge of the canopy to the ‘main control/brake line’ running
through the ‘D-ring’ at the back-risers to the ‘control handle’.
A -lines, A -risers and control lines are coloured pink for differentiation
purposes, the remaining lines are coloured yellow.
The line connections are triangular mallion rapides fitted with a rubber
‘O ring’ ( normally used as a seal ) in the form of a ‘figure eight’ to
prevent any slipping of the lines on the quick link.
The control lines are attached to suspension tabs, each of which is
sewn to the trailing edge between two ribs.
The main control lines are attached to the control handles at their
optimum trimming point, which is also marked on the line. This adjust-
ment, on the one hand, allows sufficient brake to be applied during
extreme flying situations and landing, while on the other hand it ensures
that the canopy is not permanently braked. This trimming should not be
altered.
Speedsystem
The NOVA PHILOU can be flown with a stirrup-operated speed system.
However, the Guetesiegel classification may change: check the certifi-
cate !
The speed system affects the A and B-risers. In the normal flight all
risers are 53.5 cm long overall.
When the stirrup is pushed down A and B-risers are shortened by up to
14.5 cm. The C-risers retain their original length. An incorrectly fitted
speed system results in the loss of certification!
