LINE LAYOUT
The
SOL PRYMUS 2
has four risers. All lines are attached to their respective
risers. The suspension lines consist of the upper cascaded top lines which
are secured to the under surface, the middle lines and the main lines.
The stabilizer lines
(stabilo)
are attached to the B-riser.
The lines of the
SOL PRYMUS 2
are made of a strong and stretch resistant
sheath-core construction: the sheath consists of colored polyester with a
core of white Polyethylene or beige Aramide. The main lines and main
brake lines are 2.1 mm in diameter, the middle lines are 1.5 mm and the
top lines above the cascade are 1.1 mm.
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 D-risers to the control handle.
The A-lines, A-risers and control lines are different colors for easier
identification.
The line connections are triangular Maillon Rapides
(quick links)
fitted with
plastic inserts to prevent any slipping of the lines.
The main control lines are attached to the control handles at their
optimum trim point, which is also marked on the line. This adjustment
allows sufficient brake to be applied during extreme flying situations and
landing. While on the other hand, it assures that the canopy is not
permanently braked. This position should not be altered.
