Technical Description
WARNING
The service intervals for the lines given in
the Maintenance and Service book must
be observed under all circumstances.
The Nexus has sheathed lines with
diameters of less than 1mm. There is a
risk of the lines breaking if there is
improper use or if service intervals are
not observed.
WARNING
Performance intermediate gliders with
extremely thin line diameters are under
no circumstances suitable for acro flying
or radical extreme flight manoeuvres.
Risers
The 12mm wide risers specially developed
for the Nexus with Kevlar reinforcement
allow the pilot to adjust the speed of the
Nexus using a pulley system to suit his/her
individual preference. There is more
information on using the speed system in the
section “Flying the Nexus”.
Technical information and
materials
The Maintenance and Service book has
detailed technical information, including take-
off weight, design information and speed
range. It also includes extensive information
