1.1 WHo is iT desiGNed For?
The koYoT 3 is aimed to a wide range of pilots from beginners to
weekend pilots looking for a comfortable, fun and safe glider.
The koYoT 3 is an eNA glider. please, do not use it if you do not have
enough experience to fly this wing category.
- description of eNA gliders main characteristics:
maximum passive safety and a high tolerance level.
- description of the skill level required to fly eNA gliders:
suitable for school and entry level pilots.
only the aeronautical authorities of respective countries can determine
the pilot competence.
1.2 CerTiFiCATioN
The koYoT 3 has successfully passed the european eN/lTF
certification. This test was carried out by the swiss Air-Turquoise
laboratories in switzerland. All the commercially available sizes passed
every required test with excellent results, and the koYoT 3 received the
eN A / lTF A certifications for all sizes.
The koYoT 3 successfully passed the 8G essential load test.
We recommend paying special attention to the flight test report made by
the certification laboratory. it provides all necessary technical information
to know about the wing and how it reacted during each tested
manoeuvre.
Note that each wing size can behave differently during the same
manoeuvre depending on its all up weight.
1.3 iN-FliGHT BeHAviour
Niviuk developed the koYoT 3 by adopting very defined guidelines:
the objective was to obtain the greatest level of performance while
minimizing gear weight, volume for easy transportation, harmonize
sensations, facilitate piloting, and above all, maintain a very high wing
safety level.
The glider profile was optimized to transmit maximum information in
a very understandable and convenient way, helping the pilot focus on
synchronizing feelings and technique.
The koYoT 3 profile is solid. No unwanted surprises with sudden up
or down motions even when pushing the speed-bar full-out during
acceleration. The glide remains high and stable. The turn is accurate,
less physical and easy to activate. each inflation does not require much
effort, wind or not, and the glider has a great ability to takeoff from tight
mountainous rough terrains. The landing is smooth and precise.
Flying the koYoT 3 becomes quickly very intuitive, with plenty of
nuances and clear references to the state of the air mass. The glider will
react to pilot input effectively even in turbulent conditions, and remain
solid.
The wing adapts quite effectively to the flying conditions and cores the
thermals progressive effectively and cores thermals progressively. easy
to control in all flying conditions, passive by nature, it will further the
pleasure of soaring and convey a blissful sense of pure freedom. it is an
agile, light, predictable glider.
