Chouka Bars: Rear Control Levers (pair)

Chouka Barsimprovegrip, airflow sensation,steering precision, andcomfort when flying from the rear of the paraglider. Theyreduce the sensation of coldcausedby the pressure of the risers or lines against your gloves.

• The rear Chouka Bars paragliding control bars are sold in pairs
• Rubber protectors to safeguard the lifts are included.

Description

Chouka Bars are designed to improve control and comfort when flying a paraglider from the rear:

• Better gripandriding comfort.
• Precisioninsteering and increased sensitivity to air mass.
• Reduced sensation of coldandfatigue.
• Easy installationonthe rear for immediate use.

Dimensions

TheChouka Bars rear steering handlesare compatible with risersup to 20 mm wide(standard on most modern gliders).

They are available in two sizes:

Conception

• Lift protection: incorporation of soft rubber guards to prevent damage to the lifts.
• Takeoff safety: no open slits and rounded edges to minimize the risk of the lines getting caught.
• Equipment protection: Designed to allow forlow tightening torquewithoutslippage (5 N·mis sufficient), so as not to crush or damage the lifters.

Editing

Repeat this procedure for each rear lift:

1. Slide the soft protectors into the slots on the handles and caps to protect the lifters.
   
2. Position the rear lift in the notch on the flexible guard. Place the small cap with its protective cover over it.
   
3. Make sure the nuts are securely in place in the cap, and lightly tighten the two screws.
4. Adjust the steering handle to the desired height and position.
5. Make sure the lift is in contact only with the flexible guards on each side.
   
6. Gradually tighten the two screws evenly to 5 N·m.
   

    

   • The length of the screw protruding from the nut must be the same on both sides.
   • Tighten just enough to prevent slipping: do not crush the elevator

Security

The rear steering handles are intended only for experienced pilots or those who have already been trained in this steering technique.

Inspections upon installation:

• Tighten properly but not too tightly (5 N·m).
• Tighten both screws evenly.
• Lifts must come into contact only with flexible guards.

Additional pre-flight checks:

• No stuck suspension cables.
• Handles securely fastened.

Interview

• Inspection every 100 flight hours or once a year: inspection of the condition of the elevators
• For extended storage: slightly loosen the screws

Rear-Wheel Steering

Steering with the rear wheels replaces steering with the brakes for:

• Maintain control of the profile while accelerating
• Optimize transitions and stages of the journey
• Improving Cross-Country Performance
• Reducing Drag During Accelerated Flight

In turbulent conditions, this technique is primarily intended for experienced pilots, but it is recommended to gradually become familiar with it starting during the training phase.
