BASE AND BRAKE LINE ADJUSTMENT
The factory brake-line setting corresponds
to 0-free travel plus 5 cm. It is recommended
to adjust your brake line travel after the
first flight to your personal preferences. Be
aware not to adjust the brakes too short,
otherwise the glider may fly with a little, but
continuous applied brake pressure. This could
be extremely dangerous during takeoff, flight
and landing!
The afore mentioned factory brake setting
allows for wide brake travel in extreme flight
situations as well as for landing.
At the same time it enables during flight at
trim-speed a position of comfort for the pilot’s
arms. In no case the setup of the A, B and C
main lines should be changed. Please also
note that the height of the hang points of the
harness change the relative braking travel.
When setting the adjustment it is to be made
certain, that both sides are symmetrical and
that a permanent knot is used. The bowline
knot works particularly well because it is
proven excellent slip resistance
RISERS
The A- and B-risers have different colors to
ensure positive identification at START and
during a B-stall decent. Other adjustable,
removeable or variable mechanisms are
nonexistent. Number of risers: 3+1
The risers of the PAPILLON HIMALAYA consist
of 10 mm Dynema tubewebbing.
