Information
FreeX
JumpSack

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.

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 we
will do our up most to help out as much as possible. At the
end of the day we want to ensure safety above all, therefore
we have the following solutions:
