    General About this Document This manual is a legal document which is approved for use with Air Creation NuviX wing. It must be used in conjunction with the particular trike’s operating handbook. It must remain with the aircraft, and not be amended or altered without authority from Air Creation.

    Maximum Added Load / Trikes Adjustment The maximum load that may be added under the wing is 411 kg (906 lbs). The following chart defines the useful load of our various trike models with the NuviX 15 wing. Trike TANARG...
  • Page 8 Caution: fitting of any equipment or any other change should never lead to exceeding the maximum empty weight value mentioned above, according to security standards and aircraft conformity. It is possible to adapt other trikes than the ones mentioned above. Their maximum weight should be less than 411 kg (906 lbs) fully loaded.

  • Page 10: Instructions For Use

    Instructions for Use Rigging 5.1.1 Assembly Open the wing bag, make sure that the A-frame is on top, and remove fastenings and paddings. Assemble the A-frame with the push-pin. Cables must not pass through the inside. Lift the wing from the front and rotate it so that the wing is laying with the assembled control frame flat on the ground.

    11. Fix the front lower longitudinal cables in the rail under the nose plate with the help of the swan catch tension lever and the pushpin. 12. Carefully slide the lower sail battens in their pockets and secure them within the triangular openings.
  • Page 12 Position the wing horizontally once coupled with the trike. Visually check the symmetry of the two leading edges. Check noses plates assembly, bolts, nuts, thimbles and Nicopress of the front lower longitudinal cables, swan catch correctly positioned, pushpin and wires attached. Slide your hand along the leading edges to check for possible damage.

    Flight Specifications 5.3.1 Operational Limitations Warning: This wing is not designed for aerobatics. It is imperative to respect the flight envelope !  Maximum Pitch attitudes 30° nose up, 30° nose down  Maximum Bank angle 60°  Aerobatics and deliberate spinning prohibited ...
  • Page 14 A separate yaw control is not provided. Like other weight shift aircraft, yaw is provided from the secondary effect of banking. CORSET: The CORSET allows the pilot to adjust both the trim speed and the configuration of the wing (twist and reflex) according to speed. At low speeds, the twist increases, the reflex of the central profile decreases, thus affording better handling and the lowest stall speed.

  • Page 15: Flight Techniques

    Figure 5-3 : CORSET Control 5.3.3 Flight Techniques Taxiing: Avoid turning sharply as this generates large amounts of torque and hence wear, transmitted to the pylon, hang point and keel. Always try to keep the wing aligned with the trike when turning by bracing the control bar. Turning circle is very small, but beware –...
  • Page 16 The landing is conventional. Maintain the approach speed until 8-10 foot height, then flare out to make a smooth touchdown. Braking may be used once all wheels are on the ground. A short landing requires a slow approach speed ranging from 75 km/h to 80 km/h (47 mph to 50 mph).
  • Page 17 Pilots should also be aware that as with all aircraft, overloading with baggage/heavy occupants will increase stalling speed, as well as the usual drawbacks of reduced performance, maneuverability and structural safety margins. Behavior in strong wind: Once grounded and motionless Park the aircraft perpendicular to the direction of the wind, with its windward wing lowered and the tip of the leading edge rests on the ground, block the A frame on the front tube of the trike (using for example the Velcro used for packing the battens of the...
  • Page 18 down the windward wing can be lowered slightly. To ensure maximum directional control during rollout from a crosswind landing the recommended technique is to move the bar back after landing and apply light to moderate braking. This eliminates any tendency to bounce and ensures good contact pressure between tire and runway surface. This technique of applying aerodynamic loading to increase ground pressure and hence braking efficiency during landing roll is also appropriate for short field landing.
  • Page 19 Any other form of contamination of the leading edge, the airfoil, and the upper surface such as ice or snow will result in strongly increased stall speeds and a large reduction in overall aircraft performance. Never take off under such conditions! If these conditions are encountered during flight, attempt to escape these conditions as quickly as possible.
  • Page 21 Appendix Wing – Quality Form Anxious to ensure the perfection of our products, we have set up a sequence of controls covering all steps of production. We are continuously working on their improvement and we are in need of your help. Please return this reply form accurately filled in if you find any issues or problems concerning your trike that could affect its quality or finish, even if it is a minor matter.
