• If the speed system is engaged, the brake line travel is reduced. A brake
line modified to achieve shorter travel would mean that the wing would
be automatically braked when accelerated. Firstly, this would reduce the
effectiveness of the speed system and secondly this could induce a stall.
• The free play of the brake has an effect on extreme flight incidents. If the
brake line length is modified, this can influence the reaction of the glider.
Suitable harnesses
Your paraglider is certified for use with a harness classified by the DHV as
GH (without cross-bracing). This group contains nearly all currently availa-
ble harnesses. The certification sticker on your harness provides informa-
tion on its classification.
Some harnesses allow particularly effective weight-shift, but at the same
time turbulence is directly fed back to the pilot. Other harnesses are more
damped and therefore more comfortable – but the disadvantage is that
they are less agile. Every pilot must decide for themselves which set-up is
suitable for him/herself.
We recommend flying the IBEX 3 in combination with the NOVA MONTIS
harness. On the one hand the two products are perfectly matched; on the
other, combining the MONTIS with the INVERTO, makes a gives you an
innovative reversible rucksack and a high degree of passive safety at only
1.3kg total weight.
The MONTIS is a
mountaineering har-
ness which weighs
approximately 300
grams. Combined
with the INVERTO it
offers a high degree
of passive safety.
On receiving your paraglider
Initial flight
Before sale, every NOVA wing is checked and flown by a NOVA dea-
ler.
The name of the pilot and date of this first flight must written on
the paraglider’s information label. Generally this will be situated in the
centre cell (at the profile rib).
Registration
In order to take advantage of the full guarantee and services, for ex-
ample
NOVA Protect,
you must register the paraglider at our web site:
my.nova.eu ↗
Accessories included
Your IBEX 3 will be delivered with a compression bag
,
inner bag, riser bag,
windsock, manual, self-adhesive repair tape and stickers.
Glider modification
At delivery, the specifications of a new paraglider conform to those used
during the certification process. Any user modification (for example, chan-
ge of the line length, modification of the riser), means the glider no longer
conforms to its certification. We recommend consulting NOVA before any
modification.
Care should be taken when modifying the brake line length: in the factory,
the brake line is set so there is 10 to 15 centimetres free play. This is
essential for two reasons:

within 14 days of
purchase (invoice
