The tearing resistance of the cloth - A non-destructive test fol-
lowing the TS-108 standard which specifies minimum tear strength
for sky diving canopies is executed.
Strength of the line - The centre lines are tested: The uppers,
the middles and the lowers on the A, B, C and Ds are all measured.
The reason for this is because these are the lines which bear most
of the loads.
Each line is tested on a testing table where they are pulled until
they break. The breaking value is recorded. The minimum value
is 8 G for all lower A+B lines and 6 G for all lower remaining lines,
calculated from the maximum certified flying weight of the glider.
The added minimum strength for middle lines and top lines is the
same. If the breaking strength is too close to the minimum value
calculated, the professional will give a period after which you'll
have to test the strength of the lines again.
Lengths of the lines - The overall length (riser lines + mid lines
+ upper lines) has to be checked under 5DaN of tension.
The difference between the measured length and the original
length should not exceed +/- 10mm.
The changes that could appear are a slight shrink on the C and
D and a slight stretch on the A, B. The consequences of these
changes can include a slower trim speed, difficult inflation etc.
Full check - A full visual check should be carried out: All the
components of the wing (stitching, ribs, diagonals, lines, tabs etc)
should be checked.
Finally, if in doubt, a flight test that confirms that the wing behaves
normally can be done by a professional.
IMPORTANT: Take care of your glider and make sure you
have it checked according to the above schedule: This will
ensure you hours of safe flying.
MODIFICATIONS
Your Ozone Viper was designed and trimmed to give the optimum
balance of performance, handling and safety. Any modification
means the glider loses its certification and will also probably be
more difficult to fly. For these reasons, DO NOT modify your Viper
in any way.
