The Niviuk Team has carried out extensive and meticulous design work navigation, competition and cross-country flights. on the KOUGAR 3. After several prototypes and many hours of test flying, numerous adjustments were made. These prototypes were then A high performance but simultaneously very comfortable glider but tested in all types of flight conditions. -

With a low speed approach, a short final glide and with the pilot leading edge is more rigid and the wing surface remains perfectly taut, always in total control the KOUGAR 3 can land in the smallest of areas without creases or parasitic drag. This optimises glide in all phases of with precision and ease. -

The increase of wind speed and turbulence must be assessed by bar.

3.5 WING INFLATION, CONTROL AND TAKEOFF Whether taking off on foot or using a trike, the KOUGAR 3 does not require a different technique. The control of the KOUGAR 3 is intuitive and the wing inflates easily and progressively in a controlled manner. -

However, this same damping is what can cause us to To become familiar with the maneuvers described below, we recommend have problems to regain normal flying speed after a high increase of the practicing within the environment of a licensed training outfit. -

Initiating the maneuver is physically demanding because it can take This technique easily increases the descent rate without causing some strength to pull the risers down until the wing is deformed. After problems and without the risk of causing a collapse while maintaining this, the physical effort is less. -

6.2 ACROBATIC FLIGHT Thanks to TNT, the wing has more safety and performance, but Although the KOUGAR 3 was tested by expert acrobatic pilots in extreme this means being more careful with the material. If any Nitinol rod is situations, it was not designed for it. We do NOT recommend using this damaged, they are easily replaceable. -

Inspections The KOUGAR 3 must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be If your wing is wet from contact with water, place it in a dry area, air it scheduled every 100 flying hours or every two years whichever comes and keep it away from direct sunlight. -
Page 20: Safety And Responsibility
Take out personal insurance and make sure you have all the correct licences. Be modest when you evaluate your skill level in terms of meteorology. Niviuk’s liability for damages covers only its own products. Niviuk can take no responsibility for your actions. When flying, accept the risk involved. -
