Description
Dimensions
The Chouka Balls are available in two diameters:
- ⌀ 30 mm: minimal footprint on the cockpit.
- ⌀ 40 mm: better grip, especially when wearing thick gloves.
Compatible with brake handles with or without a swivel, up to a maximum diameter of ⌀ 8.2 mm (standard ⌀ 8 mm).
Assembly
Installation is quick and simple — under one minute, with no tools and without disconnecting your wing:
- Slide the brake line through the slot of the control ball.
- Push it until it stops at the brake handle (above the swivel).
- Tie the remaining end of the brake line to prevent the ball from sliding.
If the remaining line is too short, use a small piece of spare line to secure it. - Check that your brake travel is not altered.
- If slightly modified, make sure during inflation and a first test flight that the wing’s trailing edge is not pulled in “hands-up” or accelerated position.
- Lengthen your brake handles if necessary.
Safety and pre-flight checks
Before every flight, make sure the balls do not get entangled with other lines and that they are securely positioned along the brake line.
A version for handles without swivels would be nice, a little hard to make sure they don’t fall off. Put small dot of hotglue on the top. A knot was not enough.
Fits nicely over the line and over the swivel which keeps free rotating. Small version is perfect for me.

Juste parfait , ultra simple à installer
Au top!
Cool und leicht, mit 3cm nicht so klobig wie zB. die blauen Gin-Kugeln 😉
Sans
Conception idéale, se met en place sans aucune modification et sans aucune difficulté. Un volume légèrement moins important me conviendrait mieux pour mes petites mains, mais c’est vraiment du chipotage.
Impeccable, montage facile, très pratique à l usage.
Nice product, I like it very much in air and on starts as well
