first ensuring the sail is equally pressurised and then the pilot should
reposition themselves under the centre of the wing. It is important to
remember to launch with sufficient speed and to remember that any
brake input will slow down the glider.
With more experience, and being accustomed to launching in stronger
winds, the pilot will learn to master different takeoff styles.
Whenever the wind speed permits it, we recommend a reverse inflation.
This technique enables the pilot to have a better view of the wing to
make sure all is in order before turning around and running down the
slope.
3.6 LANDING
In this final stage of the flight we must assess the conditions in the landing
field and act accordingly. The trimmers must be released and in the
neutral position, make the approach with speed, rounding out smoothly
when the speed decreases and braking to the maximum.
A constant-aspect approach is recommended if the chosen fields and
conditions permit, but the pilot must be flexible and adapt the approach
depending on the terrain, wind speed, obstacles, etc.
Sharp turns near the ground should be avoided, anticipation is the
best way for a good approach. The stability and manoeuvrability of the
ROLLER really assist the pilot in this final stage of flight.
During the first few flights with this wing, we recommend choosing a large
landing field where sharp turns and manoeuvres close to the ground will
not be necessary.
3.7 FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS
The ROLLER has a complex leading edge, manufactured using a variety
of different materials and it must be packed carefully. A correct folding
method is very important to extend the useful life of your paraglider.
It should be concertina-packed, with the leading edge reinforcements flat
and the flexible rods stacked one on top of the other. This method will
keep the profile in its original shape and protect the integrity of the wing
over time. Make sure the reinforcements are not bent or folded. It should
not be folded too tightly to avoid damage to the cloth and/or lines.
The Niviuk Nkare Bag is designed for ultra-fast packing and can easily
be carried as a backpack. It allows you to unpack the wing quickly and
easily. Just place the wing inside the Nkare Bag and secure it with the
compression straps.
Perfect for short walks or to transport the wing in the car without the risk
of damage.
It has two adjustable straps and a small inner pocket to avoid the risers
getting tangled with the lines.
4. IN FLIGHT
Please carefully review the glider certification results including the
relevant information pertaining to the manoeuvres involved during the
tests.
Note that glider behaviour can vary depending on size, or wing loading
for the same size.
Becoming familiar with the test results can help you better understand
the glider to control various situations when flying.
4.1 FLYING IN TURBULENCE
The ROLLER has an excellent profile and is very robust and solid in these
situations. It is very stable in all conditions and has excellent passive
