Page 11: Losing Altitude
In 2009, the Niviuk Team pilots created a new manoeuvre for rapid descent - the B3 technique, which is performed with the 3C3 line. It was during the testing of a competition prototype that its characteristics (high To become familiar with the manoeuvres described below, we recommend practising within the environment aspect ratio and a new line distribution) did not allow Big Ears to be performed. -

It is not possible to use this descent technique with the PEAK 6. 6.2 ACROBATIC FLIGHT Although the PEAK 6 was tested by expert acrobatic pilots in extreme situations, it was not designed for it. We 5.4 SPIRAL DIVE do not recommend using this glider for acrobatic flying!!! This is a more effective way to rapidly lose altitude. -

Apart from the general We strongly recommend that any repairs should be done in a specialist repair shop by qualified personnel. -
Page 14: Repairs
The most important detail to check and/or repair on the lines are the so called “loops” (knots). In some models, such as the PEAK 6, the wings are delivered as standard with loops already installed. These loops must be released or readjusted according to the current line length. -
