A-lines, A -risers and control lines are coloured different for better distinction.
The line connections are triangular maillon rapides (quick links) fitted with heat
shrink preventing 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 adjustment, 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.
The KANGAROO has 4 risers. All A-lines are attached to the "A1"-riser, one line
to the "A2"-riser thus facilitating rapid descents by doing "Big ears". The B-lines are
attached to the B-riser, the C-riser leads to all the C-lines and the break, D in the
D.
Comparing with a mono glider, the risers of the KANGAROO are shorter in order to
compense the height of the tandem connection that connects the passenger with
the pilot.
The pilot is connected behind the passenger on the shorter end of the tandem
connection thus reaching easier the control handles and risers.
In case of a big weight diference between pilot and passenger, the tandem
connection offers various points to fix the passenger always maintaining the ideal
position of balance.
