EULIT LINES
FreeX GmbH will no longer carry out or sanction 2 year checks
on gliders with Eulit lines.
Gliders produced before 2004 which used Eulit lines
are subject to the following report.
Following a quality issue in 2000 with Eulit lines,
FreeX Air sport GmbH started legal battles against Eulit,
the producer of lines.
Later, Eulit decided to close down the department which specialised
in paragliding lines swearing they want nothing more to do with the
paragliding industry.
After a long in depth meeting with their spokes person Mr Staude,
(09.02.2005) he confirmed that the lines supplied during the quality
issue, where within specifications and had no quality defects.
Due to the manor in which events took place, their company made
the decision internally to cease trading within the paragliding market.
Mr Staude continued with the fact that Eulit as a company still trade
in their main market place with great success and to very high standards.
On one side he sympathises with pilots who are affected by their decision
to cease trading within the paragliding scene, however he confirms the
fact that no more paragliding lines would be produced under the name Eulit.
Where does this leave owners of gliders with Eulit lines?
In Germany and Austria it is required by the governing body that all gliders
must have an air worthy check every 2 years. Part of the check is to replace
a set amount of lines, breaking the old ones to test the ageing and breaking
strain.
The replacement of lines must be the same type that the glider was initially
tested with and if any other is used would place the glider outside the cover
of guarantee or indeed insurance from the DHV. If alternative lines are used
then ALL lines must be replaced with the same manufacturer and line type.
(See sub 1). (Absolutely no mixing of lines from different manufacturers).
Sub 1
If a complete line change is made with other lines, the glider would
require a separate load test with DHV to remain within the parameters of
certification. This will not be the responsibility of FreeX GmbH, but would
remain the responsibility of the person / organisation who carries out the
line exchange.
Gliders not effected.
Moon (Betech line)

All gliders from 2004.
Guarantee from FreeX Air Sports GmbH.
Unfortunately, FreeX Air Sports GmbH went into liquidation at the end of 2003,
which means that guarantees can no longer be honoured. In May 2004 the name
FreeX was taken over and became FreeX GmbH. This company is a completely new
set-up with a totally different direction and team, however on the morel side
