Page 4: Characteristics
It is important to take understand that each size can have a different reaction with the same manoeuvre, and each wing size can behave The ARTIK P is an EN C glider. Please, do not use it if you do not have differently depending on its all up weight. -
Page 5: Assembly, Materials
Flying the ARTIK P quickly becomes very intuitive, with plenty of nuances Interlock System (IKS).- The IKS (Interlock System) is an ultra-lightweight, and clear references to the state of the air mass. The glider will react to high strength connecting system that aims to complement the light pilot input effectively even in turbulent conditions, and remain solid. - Page 6 9. Pull tight to secure the knot and connection. 10. Check the entire assembly. The ARTIK P’s line cascade layout uses Aramid Edelrid for the upper lines, and TNL Cousin for the middle and lower lines. This tested and proven layout combination is the same used with other Niviuk models.

It will enable you to become more familiar with the ARTIK P 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 9: Preparation
Repeat the procedures detailed in chapter 2 UNPACKING AND 3.6 LANDING ASSEMBLY in order to prepare your equipment. The ARTIK P has great landing abilities by turning its air speed into lift on 3.3 FLIGHT PLAN demand using toggle impute, hence obtaining a fully controllable ground effect to reduce margin errors and improve safety upon landing. -

It will increase the incidence of the wing We recommend active piloting, the timely necessary fine adjustments (angle of attack). If the collapse does happen the ARTIK P will not react to keep the wing in control. The pilot should stop braking to regain the violently, the turning tendency is gradual and easily controlled. -

Knowledge of different descent techniques is important and could be extremely useful to have. The most adequate descent method will vary If, for any reason at all, the ARTIK P’s brake lines become disabled in depending on any particular situation. -

To enter this manoeuvre, the B-risers are handled below the maillons This new rapid descent technique was first discovered by our Niviuk team and symmetrically pulled down together (approx. 20-30 cm) and Pilots in 2009 while flying a competition prototype wings, which because of then held to this position. -
Page 14: Slow Descent Technique
To enter the manoeuvre, the pilot will need to synchronize a weight-shift with a gradual toggle pull toward the inside of the intended turn. The The ARTIK P does not experience any problem whilst being towed. Only intensity of the rotation can be controlled by applying a slight brake line... -
