This means the MENTOR 7 Light will appeal to all cross-country pilots
who would like to achieve their distances within the B class and who
want a state-of-the-art ”teacher” at their side.
Intelligent lightweight construction
Among other things, the MENTOR 7 Light owes its outstanding per-
formance to the 66 cells and its complex inner construction. In order
to live up to the name ”Light“, the wing features high-quality, durable
lightweight materials. Ideal for ambitious cross-country flights and
every conceivable hike & fly adventure.
Optimised XC potential
The strength of the MENTOR 7 Light lies in its “actually usable per-
formance”. Fully accelerated, it cuts solidly through unstable air mas-
ses, and the C-steering can be used to efficiently mitigate turbulence.
Performance, smooth flying and safety are the hallmarks of a genuine
MENTOR. The MENTOR 7 Light also impresses with its manageable
extreme flight behaviour. For example, accelerated collapses are even
more gentle than on the previous model. All NOVA test pilots confirm
that this wing, with its moderate aspect ratio of 5.5, is very pleasant
to fly and additionally has even more top speed than the MENTOR 6.
The ideal prerequisites for breaking personal records.
Technical summary
The MENTOR 7 Light is an EN B wing with 66 cells and a flat aspect
ratio of 5,5. The MENTOR 7 Light is a wing made from very light sail
cloth. Care should be taken when handling the wing.

The MENTOR 7 Light
Introduction
The MENTOR 7 Light is characterised by its completely new design
as a ”hybrid 2.5-liner“ and carries the genes of the XENON. Thanks
to the drastically increased performance, its cross-country potential
sets new standards in the EN B class. With its intelligent lightweight
design, we are meeting the great demand for light, durable XC gliders.
The best possible combination
This performance optimised 2.5-liner flies more comfortably than
many 3-liners. How come? Philipp Medicus, Head of R&D at NOVA
explains: “The difference in design between the MENTOR 6 and 7 is
greater than between the 2 and the 6. Absolutely everything is new.
Only the pilot group and its potential as an XC machine are the same.”
The MENTOR 7 Light
was developed in
co-operation with the
cross-country pilots in
the NOVA Pilots Team.
