The leading edge features new Domenico Tex company fabric, i.e. DOKDO
30DMF(WR)-HD45 (weighing 45g/m2). As a nylon textile covered with
impregnate it is best suited to that specific area, vital for the paraglider's
quality and durability. The material is less stiff than before, what leads to
increased tear, stretch and UV-deterioraton resistance. It is not siliconised,
what means it is easily repairable with delf-adgering patches.
The rest of the canopy is made with Domenico Tex DOKDO 30DMF(WR)
(40g/m2). The textile shows perfect strength to weight ratio. All ribs have to be
relatively stiff with good load distribution. These qualities we found in Demnico
Tex DOKDO 30DFM (40g/m2) Hard Finish. The suspension points and leading
edge profiles are reinforced with SR-Scrim fabric.
RIGGING SYSTEM
All Nemo2 lines have coloured polyester sheath covering a core inside. Due to
limited number of lines we made sure they are strong enough by employing
brown TECHNORA cores. As a result is we have lines that are both strong and
offer high stretch resistance.
Rigging system consists of individual lines looped and stitched at each end.
The upper level (gallery) lines start at the suspension points of the canopy.
These lines connect to middle level ones, and these in turn adjoin by twos and
threes to single main suspension line. Main lines are attached to risers with
quick links (maillons). An additional 'O-ring' is installed there to keep lines
together.
All maillons are made of polished stainless steel, ensuring great strength,
durability and resistance to corrosion.
Wingtip lines connect outer suspension points with maillons in similar steps as
above.
The same story goes for steering lines. With consecutive cascades they lead
from trailing edge down to main brake lines, which then go through pulleys
connected to the C-riser and finish at the brake handles. Those lines do not
carry any suspension loads.
Suspension lines are coloured depending on their strength and diameter as
follows:
diameter: 2,3 mm; strength: 420 daN; colour: sea-green
diameter: 1,8 mm; strength: 280 daN; colour: red and orange (big ears feature)
diameter: 1,5 mm; strength: 190 daN; colour: violet
diameter: 1,3 mm; strength: 140 daN; colour: green
diameter: 1,2 mm; strength: 90 daN; colour: blue
(colour code can differ slightly)
