The suspension lines are distinguished "fork-lines" ( near the under-
surface ) 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 "pulley" 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.
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 XYON can be flown with a stirrup-operated speed system.
However, the Guetesiegel classification may change: check the certifi-
cate !
The XYON has 3 risers. All A lines are attached to the A riser, the B
lines and the stabiliser together to the B riser, on the 3rd riser "C" leads
to all the C-lines.
The speed system affects the A and the B-risers. In the normal flight all
risers are 53.5 cm long overall.
When the stirrup is pushed down A and the -risers are shortened by up
to 16 cm and 12 cm respectively. C-risers retain their original length.
An incorrectly fitted speed system results in the loss of certification!
