Page 4: Characteristics
The flight test resulted in the following certification for all sizes: 1.3 IN-FLIGHT BEHAIVOR The TAKOO 5 features a more robust internal structure with an improved EN B load distribution at the attachment points. It has an optimised light and LTF B responsive brake system for improved turning. - Page 5 The profile is taut at all times, without creases or wrinkles, The TAKOO 5 has all the technological innovations used on other Niviuk and fully optimised for all flight phases.
- Page 6 DRS (Drag Reduction Structure) - With the application of the DRS, For the construction process of the TAKOO 5 we use the same criteria, the airflow at the trailing edge is directed more progressively along the quality controls and manufacturing processes as in the rest of our range.

Take the paraglider out of the rucksack, open and unfold it on the ground with the lines positioned on the undersurface, oriented in the direction The TAKOO 5 is delivered with a series of accessories that will greatly of inflation. Check the condition of the fabric and the lines for defects. -
Page 8: Trimmers
However, the pilot must assess the conditions and adjust the trimmers for each landing. The TAKOO 5 always helps the pilot in this phase, allowing them to perform the landing manoeuvre with full control either using the neutral position or with the trimmers fully open. -

3.1 CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOCATION times as necessary to familiarise yourself with its behaviour. Inflating the TAKOO 5 is easy and should not require a great deal of physical effort. For the first flight we recommend going to a gentle slope (training hill) or Inflate the wing with a little pressure from the body using the harness. -

3.6 LANDING 4.1 FLYING IN TURBULENCE The TAKOO 5 lands excellently, it converts the wing speed into lift at your demand, allowing an enormous margin of error. Wrapping the brake lines The TAKOO 5 has an excellent profile to deal with incidents; it is very around your hand to get greater braking efficiency is not necessary. - Page 11 It will increase the incidence of the wing (angle of attack). If the collapse does happen, the TAKOO 5 will not react Parachutal stall violently, the turning tendency is gradual and easily controlled.

The TAKOO 5 was designed to recover by itself in most cases. Do not try default overhead flying position. to over-correct it! To resume normal flight conditions, progressively and symmetrically Generally speaking, the reactions of the wing, which are caused by too release the brake line tension to regain air speed. -
Page 13: Losing Altitud
For this reason NIVIUK have improved the EAR LOCK SYSTEM, which we already used in the first TAKOO. The TAKOO 5 comes with the EAR LOCK SYSTEM (ELS) as standard. In a simple and effective way, this improved system for pulling big ears assists the tandem pilot when performing this descent technique. -
Page 14: B-Line Stall
The ELS system can easily be removed without affecting the rest of the vertical descending speed increases to –6 to –8 m/s, depending on the equipment. conditions and how the manoeuvre is performed. To use the EAR LOCK SYSTEM simply pull the ear lock line downward To exit the manoeuvre, simultaneously release both risers. -

6.1 TOWING The exit should be performed gradually and smoothly so that the The TAKOO 5 does not experience any problem whilst being towed. Only changes in pressure and speed can be noted. qualified winch personnel should handle the certified equipment to carry When exiting the spiral, the glider will briefly experience an asymmetrical out this operation. -
Page 16: Storage
Inspections The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed. If they become The TAKOO 5 must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be dirty, clean them with a soft damp cloth, using only water. Do not use scheduled every 100 flying hours or every two years whichever comes detergents or other chemicals. -

Damaged lines must be repaired or exchanged immediately. Please refer to the line plan at the end of this manual. Niviuk includes a set of spreader bars with every serial Takoo. It is very We recommend any inspection or repair is performed by a Niviuk... -
