Riser
The risers were developed specifically for the Falcon. A new type of trimmer system ensures a
great increase in speed by effectively altering the angle of attack across all riser levels. In
addition, a wing tip brake and torque compensator give the option of steering the glider
independently and adjusting it to the motor output. This ensures maximum flexibility in adapting
it to the particular drive system and takes into consideration the specific requirements of
paramotor pilots.
The Falcon’s risers, at 480 mm, are shorter than those of conventional gliders. This allows
better adjustment of different attachment point positions of the motor unit/harness. The brake
pulley can be moved so that it can be adjusted to the ideal position. The brake handles are
attached to the riser by strong Neodym magnets. The advantage of the magnets is that the brake
handles can simply be attached to the risers during flight.
The individual parts of the Falcon risers at a glance:
• Torque compensator system
• Wing tip brake system
• Power Attack (PA) system
• Kick down system with stop ball
• upper brake line pulley
• main brake magnetic mount
• lower brake line pulley
• interchangeable trimmer strap
The section “Flying the Falcon” has further information on using the acceleration system, the
wing tip brake and the torque compensator.
