EN C wing. The ARTIK R is the ideal wing for cross-country flying. Take the leap into the new era and fly as many kilometres as you want. Performance and glide are excellent on the Artik R, with unprecedented stability, Our other aims were to achieve optimal performance while maintaining the highest level of safety.

It has been proved that, if the cloth pattern is correctly For the construction process of the ARTIK R we use the same criteria, quality controls and manufacturing aligned to the direction of the load axes, the material deforms much less flight after flight, so the leading edge processes as in the rest of our range.
Check the maillons/IKS connecting the lines to the risers to make sure they are fully closed and tightened. The ARTIK R is delivered with a series of accessories that will greatly assist you in the maintenance of your Identify, and if necessary, untangle, the A and B-lines, the brake lines and corresponding risers.

Pull this line until it is taut. This action will help to release the cravat. If ineffective, fly down to the nearest The possibility of the ARTIK R stalling during normal flight is very unlikely. It could only happen if you are flying possible landing spot, controlling the direction with both weight-shift and the use of the brake opposite to the at a very low air speed, whilst over-steering or performing dangerous manoeuvres in turbulent air.
It is not possible to use this descent technique with the ARTIK R. To perform the Big Ears manoeuvre, take the innermost A’ line on each A-riser (the 3A3 line on the ARTIK R) and simultaneously, smoothly pull them outward and downward. The wingtips will fold in.
6.2 ACROBATIC FLIGHT Although the ARTIK R was tested by expert acrobatic pilots in extreme situations, it was not designed for it. We do not recommend using this glider for acrobatic flying!!! 5.4 SPIRAL DIVE...
7.3 CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS Inspections The ARTIK R must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be scheduled every 100 flying hours or every two years whichever comes first (EN/LTF norm). We strongly recommend that any repairs should be done in a specialist repair shop by qualified personnel.
