designed to provide sufficient stability without penalising glide or speed.
The design of the profile is optimised to offer the perfect combination of
control/performance.
With the RSP (Reflex System Profile) the engine does not need much
power to achieve greater thrust, resulting in less consumption, more
autonomy, less need for power, better durability, mechanical efficiency
and increased performance. The RSP was designed as an intelligent and
efficient profile. In comparison to less efficient profiles, this wing knows
how to use favourable inertia and all this with minimum pilot effort.
The use of these technologies is a big technological leap forward in
building wings and a big improvement in flight comfort.
The R-BUS has a reinforced internal structure. More diagonal ribs, lines,
attachment points and strong seams make a very solid wing able to carry
loads up to 500kg.
From Olivier Nef’s computer to fabric cutting, the operation does not
allow for even a millimetre of error. The cutting of each wing component
is performed by a rigorous, extremely meticulous automated computer
laser-cutting robotic arm. This program also paints the guideline markers
and numbers on each individual fabric piece, thus avoiding errors during
this delicate process.
The jigsaw puzzle assembly is made easier using this method and
optimises the operation while making the quality control more efficient.
All Niviuk gliders go through an extremely thorough and detailed final
inspection. The canopy is cut and assembled under strict quality control
conditions facilitated by the automation of this process.
Every wing is individually checked with a final visual inspection.
The fabric used to manufacture the glider is light, resistant and durable.
The fabric will not experience fading and is covered by our warranty.
All lines are made from Technora with a polyester sheathing.
The line diameter has been calculated depending on the workload and
aims to achieve the required best performance with the least drag. The
sheath protects the line cores from UV rays and abrasions.
The lines are semi-automatically cut to length and all the sewing is
completed under the supervision of our specialists.
Every line is checked and measured once the final assembly is
concluded.
Each glider is packed following specific maintenance instructions as
recommended by the fabric manufacturer.
Niviuk gliders are made of premium materials that meet the requirements
of performance, durability and certification that the current market
demands.
Information about the various materials used to manufacture the wing
can be viewed in the final pages of this manual.
1.5 ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS
The R-BUS is delivered with a series of accessories that, although not
fundamental, are important in the use, transport and storage of the
paraglider.
- A Kargo bag. This bag is large enough to hold all equipment
comfortably and with plenty of space.
- An inner bag to protect the wing from any possible damage during
storage.
- An adjustable folding strap to make the wing as compact as possible.
- A small fabric repair kit with self-adhesive Ripstop nylon.
- In the case of a trike designed to have elevated hang points, the R-BUS
accessories include extra brake lines and the High Speed Tip is one
meter longer. The pilot should exchange and adjust these as required.
