Our services
Optimise your wing.
Through use, paraglider lines shrink or stretch. Generally, A and
B-lines stretch, whereas C-lines shrink. As a result the wing flies
slower and the handling is less agile. All lines are subject to
shrinkage – regardless of which material they are made from or which
manufacturer produced them.To ensure your complete flying fun and
your safety, we developed
NOVA Trim Tuning (NTT)
2
with the help of
paragliding instructor and mathematician Ralf Antz.
After 15 to 20 Operating hours this stretching or shrinking is basic-
ally complete. We recommend that you then immediately send
the wing to us or an authorised partner.
We will measure all the lines, analyse the trimming using special
software and then put your wing back to its optimal flying condition.
If you take the opportunity of this service, you will benefit from the
3 Years No Full Service Required:
after the
NTT
your wing only needs
to be checked again three years after the date
of purchase (provided you do not exceed the number of
Operating hours stated in the manual).

Take off with a paramotor
Choose a long, flat or slightly downward sloping field. Inflate the wing
and wait until it is over your head. Ensure you have an upright body
position and once the wing is above you, gently engage the throttle.
Motorised flying
Motorised flying is fundamentally different from hill flying. The torque
of the engine has a marked influence on the flying characteristics of
the wing. The increased inertia of the pilot can lead to negative conse-
quences in extreme flight behaviour.
Controlling pitch
Abrupt, rapid acceleration can make the glider pitch back. Please
accelerate sensitively and decelerate gently. Controlled brake input
should be used if the glider pitches forward.
Safety advice
Before accelerating, the wing should be above the pi-
lot’s head, be stable and flying straight ahead. In turbul-
ent air care should be taken when using the speed sys-
tem or trimmers. Always remember that the engine may
fail – make sure you have an emergency landing option.
Optional riser with trimmer
We offer optional risers fitted with trimmers for our parag-
liders which have paramotor certification. This allows the
wing to be accelerated without the need to use the speed
system. When the trimmers are closed, the trimming com-
plies with EN/LTF certified risers.
