    It is strongly recommended that all lines are thoroughly checked by the pilot prior to every flight and ultimately checked by a service centre or Niviuk dealer after the first 30 hours of flight. We should not forget that we 1.4 asseMBlY, MaTerIals are using materials with great performance but that they need a rigorous check before every flight.

    ICepeaK 8 as many times as necessary in order to become acquainted with the wing’s behaviour. We recommend that the first flight with your ICepeaK 8 is made on a smooth slope (a school slope) or in your usual flying area.

    Whenever of the wing. The ICepeaK 8 is especially easy to control in this position in necessary, control a situation, react to it and then re-establish the required strong winds.
  • Page 9 In normal flying conditions the design of the ICepeaK 8 ensures that a reach this point, continue pulling until you reach 100% and then hold. The symmetric collapse is quite improbable. The profile of the wing has been glider will first fall behind you and then situate itself above you, rocking designed to widely tolerate extreme changes in the angle of incidence.
  • Page 10: Using The Accelerator

    If you notice a knot before take- off, immediately stop running and do not take-off. The profile of the ICepeaK 8 has been designed to fly stable through its entire speed range. It is useful to accelerate when flying in strong winds If you have taken-off with a knot you will have to correct the drift by or in extreme descending air.
  • Page 11: Losing Height

    The ICepeaK 8 has a new high arch concept and applying ears induces more resistance. With this new arch, the ears don’t stick but they do 5. losING HeIGHT tend to “hang”.
  • Page 12: B-Line Stall

    To start the manoeuvre, first lean your bodyweight and pull the brake on the ICepeaK 8. This technique ensures a rapid descent is achieved whilst forward wing speed is maintained and so the risk of a deep stall is line to the side to which you are leaning.

    In spite of providing much more benefits to the pilots, 2 liner gliders need The use of new high performance materials in modern wings is now more care and control of the calibration.
