glider for acrobatic flying!!!
We consider acrobatic flights to be any form of piloting different than
standard soaring flights. learning acrobatic manoeuvres should be
conducted under the supervision of qualified instructors within a school
environment and over water with all safety/rescue elements in place.
Forces as high as 4 to 5 G can be exerted on a paragliding wings during
extreme manoeuvres.
materials will wear more quickly than in normal flight. Gliders subjected
to extreme manoeuvre techniques should be inspected every six months.

Careful maintenance of your equipment will ensure continued top
performance.
The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed. if they become dirty,
clean them with a soft damp cloth.
if your wing is wet from contact with salt water, immerse it in fresh water
and dry it away from direct sunlight. direct sunlight may damage the
wing’s materials and cause premature aging. After landing, do not leave
the wing exposed to the sun. pack it properly and stow it away in its
backpack.
if flying in a sandy environment, and sand has accumulated inside the
wing, remove it before packing it away.

it is important for the wing to be correctly folded when stored. keep it in
the in a cool, dry place away from solvents, fuels, oils and uv rays. do
not leave the gear inside a car trunk, as temperatures can climb up to
60ºC and damage it. Weight should not be laid atop the equipment.
if the flight gear is stored with organic material, such as leaves, grass
or insects trapped inside the cells, the chemical reaction can cause
irreparable damage. empty the caissons before packing the glider away
and never stow a glider away when wet.
7.3 CHeCks ANd CoNTrols
The koYoT 3 must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be
scheduled every 100 flying hours or every twenty four months whichever
comes first (eN/lTF normative).
Always conduct a thorough pre-flight check before each takeoff.
if the wing is damaged, you can temporarily repair it by using the ripstop
material included in the repair kit, for as long as no stitching is required to
mend the fabric.
damaged lines must be repaired immediately. please refer to the line plan
at the end of this manual.
Any repair should be done by a specialized repair shop and qualified
personnel. Niviuk can not be rendered responsible for any damage
caused by incorrect repairs.
