This mix comprises the best compromise
between weight/bulk and longevity.
Line material
The Summit XC² uses a mix of sheathed
Dyneema® and unsheathed Aramide®
lines from Edelrid, in the diameters
0,65/0,75/1,1/1,3/1,6 millimetres. The
unsheathed lines are applied at the
canopy end of the line structure and
contribute to the excellent performance
data of the wing through their low drag.
Line system
The entire line system is formed from
individual lines, which are sewn and
looped at both ends. The single line levels
are connected over a special hoop
technology ("handshake") to prevent a
weakening of the core and a loss of
strength. The lines and stitching are
subject to rigorous production controls, to
ensure high and consistent manufacturing
quality.
The lines of each wing section consist of
four groups and the brake lines:
A-Level: A1-A2
Split A-Level : A3
B-Level: B1-B3,STI
C-Level: C1-C3
Brake lines : BRK1
The brake lines are collected at one main
control line per side. This control line runs
through a pulley attached to the D-Riser
and is marked with a black dot at the point
where it should loop around the D-ring.
The brake is pre-set so that the glider is at
0 degree brake when the toggle is free.
Please don‟t change the main brake lines
without checking the new length
carefully at a suitable training hill
before flying!
The line bundles (A, B, C and D) are
colour coded for easy identification
and handling. All main lines of each
level are looped together and attached
to delta quick links, which are
connected to the risers. The quick links
have special line collectors to prevent
lines slipping, and are secured using a
strong thread-locking compound
(Loctite©), to prevent unintentional
opening. After maintenance work the
delta quick links should be re-glued
with thread locking Loctite©!
Risers
The split A risers and B risers are
colour marked to improve ground
handling and B-lining/Big Ears.
A Risers: Red
A3 Risers (for BigEars): Green
B Risers: Blue
C Risers: Black/no marking
In order to accommodate different pilot
sizes the Summit XC² risers are
lenght-adapted to the canopy size
– S
and SM have shorter risers than M and
L. This little detail improves the
ergonomics of the wing and makes all
the different manoeuvres (b-line,
BigEars) more accessible to the pilots.
The speed system is optimised along
the same lines.
We use a very similar riser design for
our competition wings. They allow for
very high top speeds with low sink
values and give impressive stability at
high speeds.
