Page 4: Characteristics
The ROLLER is a wing designed for a large target group of pilots in order - Description of the pilot skills required for an EN C wing: to enjoy the experience of speed. -
Page 5: In-Flight Behaviour
ROLLER; pitch is damped enough so that the wing does not suffer to extend the braking limit, there is a lower risk of collapse and unexpected frontal collapses or loss of internal pressure, allowing the consequently, greater control and stability. - Page 6 Structured Leading Edge (SLE) - the use of the SLE considerably reduces All Niviuk gliders go through an extremely thorough and detailed final the amount of Mylar which was used in previous Niviuk wings and this inspection. also reduces the weight of the leading edge. Therefore it is easier to inflate this wing than a paraglider without this system.

Page 8: Connecting The Speed-Bar
Fully engaged speed-bar (maximum speed) A-B= 3 cm, A-C=9 cm 2.5 CONNECTING THE SPEED-BAR The ROLLER comes with a speed-bar system with 9 cm travel. The system is engaged by pressing the speed-bar with the pilot’s feet. -not included as standard- the pilot must connect the speed-bar to the A-risers using Brummel hooks. -
Page 9: Adjusting The Brakes
In any case, we recommend flying for a while using the default line length factory settings before making any adjustment. It will enable you to become more familiar with the ROLLER and its unique flying characteristics. If you then decide to change the length of the brake lines, untie the knot, slide the line through the brake link to the desired length, and strongly re-tie the knot. - Page 10 flight and before every takeoff. The trimmer system is set by the pilot, i.e. it does not return to its point of origin, but remains in place until the pilot decides to release/change the position. Engaging and releasing the trimmers is effective and quick as well as sensitive and accurate.

In this case the glider conveys a loss of pressure through the brake lines and the harness. To prevent the collapse The ROLLER is able to stay in the air when the wind is strong and from happening, pull the brake handle corresponding to the affected side standard paragliders cannot fly, however, if conditions are very turbulent, of the wing. - Page 14 The ROLLER was designed to recover by itself in most cases.

4.4 FLYING WITHOUT BRAKE LINES particular situation. If, for any reason at all, the ROLLER’s brake lines become disabled in To become familiar with the manoeuvres described below, we flight, piloting the wing with the C-risers and weight shifting will become recommend practising within the environment of a competent training necessary. -

To activate the ‘Big ears’ manoeuvre, take the outer ‘3 A 2’ line on 5.3 SPIRAL DIVE each A-riser and simultaneously, smoothly pull them outward and downward. The wingtips will fold in. Let go of the risers to re-inflate This is a more effective way for rapidly lose altitude. Beware that the wing them automatically. -
