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 (new glider). In the case that the NTT is done, the next full
check (NFS: NOVA full service) has to be done 3 years after purchase (new
glider).
In the case of commercially used gliders, (tandems or school gliders) the NFS
has to be performed every year.
In the case that the NTT is not done, the wing needs a full check after 2 years.
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
next to the coast), an annual complete check (NFS) is strongly recommended!
The check has to be confirmed with the check-stamp on the stabilo. All
necessary documents for the inspection can be found on the NOVA homepage
(http://www.nova-wings.com): Downloads: Check.
The date of purchase of the new glider is decisive for any deadline
concerning NTT and NFS, as well as for guarantee.
Independent from the deadlines mentioned above:
