•
If the glider has become wet, lay it out so that air can get to all areas of the
fabric.
•
After landings in trees or on water you should check the length of the lines.
•
Always make sure that your intended logo will not in any way influence the
glider behavior. If in doubt we suggest avoiding the attachment of advertising
logos on the wing. ICARO paragliders cannot be held responsible for any
mishaps caused by intentional after sales changes done to the wing.
•
The NIKITA 5 is a very strong paraglider. Flying all the descent exercise will
not normally pose a structural problem but aerobatic training does accelerate
the ageing process dramatically.
•
There is no special method packing your glider. ICARO paragliders commends
the “Cell to Cell-method bag because the reinforcements of the leading edge
stay flex-free on top of each other and do not fold.
When you did not fly for a longer period ICARO commends to check the
glider (e.g. mildew stains, splice of the lines, corrosion of the shackles and
carbines).
If you are not convinced of the gliders airworthiness please send your glider
to an authorized ICARO dealer to check your glider. The same is
commended for harnesses.
Repairs
Only use original ICARO parts for repairing your glider. If you don’t you lose
the guarantees for your glider.
Small holes in the canopy (max. 20x20 mm) can be repaired by the pilot by using
self-adhesive sailcloth on both sides of the perforation.
Damage to the lines or any other repairs should only be carried out at an
authorized ICARO center. If the glider needs to be repaired, please contact your
local ICARO paragliders dealer.
Trimming
After about 1000 flown Tumbling-over are certain lines very slowly. This becomes
noticeable when the train no longer in Tumble is the same as it was in the
beginning. Another indication of a line extension is the tentative start in the
helicopter.
To restore the normal flight characteristics again, lines have to be reduced.
Repairs
Small holes in the canopy can be repaired by the pilot by using self-adhesive
sailcloth on both sides of the perforation. Damage to the lines or any other repairs
should only be carried out at an authorized ICARO center.
If your NIKITA 5 needs to be repaired, please contact your local ICARO
Paragliders dealer.
Inspection
Your NIKITA 5 has no label, so they must also not require to inspection but it is
very important to check the glider, too. Below you find the regulations for checks of
certified gliders.
