NIVIUK GLIDERS PEAK 5, User Manual

A thorough pre-flight check must be performed before every flight.

Control de calado

The PEAK 5 is fitted with unsheathed lines. Their durability conforms 
to unsheathed line standards.   Their strength is guaranteed and their 
resistance to UV is one of the highest in this type of lines.
However, one of the obligations derived from the use of these 
lines is the need to maintain the trim of your PEAK 5 within the stipulated 
ranges. 
En términos generales, las longitudes de las líneas cambian durante el 
uso de las alas.
We recommend checking the lines after the first +/- 30 flying hours. 

Why is this necessary?
Thanks to our research and experience acquired over time by our R&D 
team, we are capable of predicting how lines will perform. 

By following the stipulated maintenance schedule and inspections the 
wing remains at optimum trim without any loss of performance.
The maintenance carried out on each wing will be different depending on 
the conditions of each flying area, climate, temperature, humidity, type of 
terrain, wing load, etc.
With reference to the so-called loops, some models are delivered 
with loops already made. To adjust the trim these can be loosened or 
readjusted.
 
However, a wing should not be trimmed according to the measurements 
copied from another wing of the same type. Each trim setting is individual 
to each wing, and is determined after measurements and subsequent 
analysis by specialist personnel.
Trim adjustments must be within 1% of the length allowed by the 
certification.
