
When you practice ground handling, avoid crashing the glider hard on
the ground with the leading edge, as this might lead to damage.

Avoid unnecessary dirt or sharp stones touching the lines and the
cloth. Don’t step on the lines if they are laying on a stony surface!

Humidity combined with dirt can lead to shrinking of the lines and
thereby to the wrong trim on your glider. Saltwater (sweat) may
damage the lines in the long run.

To store your glider for a longer time, avoid a humid or a very hot
environment. (Like in a car during hot summer days)
Cleaning
To clean the wing, only use water and a cleaning cloth. Never use any solvents.
If there is sand, dirt or small stones inside the canopy, you should remove them
because they will damage the coating of the cloth and the seams in the long run.
Repair
Repairs may only be performed by authorised service centres or by NOVA.
You can repair small holes or tears in the cloth (smaller than 5cm) yourself
with a special self adhesive repair tape. (You can order it at NOVA or in any
service centre.) If you are not sure about the damage, or if the damage affects
parts of a seam, please contact NOVA. (info@nova-wings.com)
Check
We suggest a trim inspection (Nova Trim Tuning NTT) in the first year after
the date of purchase. In the case that the NTT is done, the next full check (NFS:
NOVA full service) has to be performed 3 years after purchase.
In the case that the NTT is not done, the wing needs a full check after 2 years
after purchase. The check expert can define the next check interval on the basis
of the wing’s condition. In areas where conditions are harsh on the material (i.e.
by salty air and sand next to the coast), an annual complete check (NFS) is
strongly recommended!
