is much easier and gentler, without overshooting. Flying this wing is very intuitive, with clear and useful feedback about the airmass. It responds to the pilot’s inputs effectively and even in thermic and turbulent conditions it remains stable and solid. The KOYOT 4 P flies efficiently. It enters thermals with sufficient speed to centre in the lift and climbs progressively. The handling is progressive and effective for even more flying pleasure under an exciting wing of extraordinary quality. It is lightweight; even lighter in flight and easy to pilot, with outstanding turbulence buffering...

The use of these technologies is a big technological leap forward in building wings and a big improvement in flight comfort. can be viewed in the final pages of this manual. 1.5 ELEMENTS, COMPONENTS For the construction process of the KOYOT 4 P we use the same criteria, quality controls and manufacturing processes as in the rest of our range. From Olivier Nef’s computer to fabric cutting, the operation does not allow for even a millimetre of error. The cutting of each wing component is performed by a rigorous, extremely meticulous, automated computer laser-cutting robotic arm. This program...

they are fully closed and tightened. Identify, and if necessary untangle, the A, B, C and D-lines, the brake lines and corresponding risers. Make sure that there are no knots. 2.3 CONNECTING THE HARNESS The KOYOT 4 P risers are colour-coded. - Right: green - Left: red This colour-coding makes it easier to connect the wing to the correct side and helps prevent pre-flight errors. Correctly connect the risers to the attachment points so that the risers and lines are correctly ordered and free of twists. Check that the IKS and carabiners are properly fastened and securely locked. 2.4 TYPE OF...

depending on the type of harness, personal preferences, etc. • he speed-bar is detachable to facilitate its connection and / or T disconnection to the risers as well as subsequent adjustment. • o connect it to the harness, please follow the instructions of the T harness manufacturer. The majority of harnesses have a speed system pre-installed. • he standard connection of the speed-bar to the speed system is via T Brummel hooks, where two slots in the hooks are interlocked, making their connection / disconnection easy. However, any connection system that is safe may be used. 1. ake a knot in...

2.7 ADJUSTING THE BRAKES The length of the main brake lines are adjusted at the factory and conform to the length stipulated during certification. However, they can be changed to suit your flying style. It is advisable to fly with the original setting for a period of time to get used to the actual behaviour of the KOYOT 4 P. In case it is necessary to modify the brake length, loosen the knot, slide the line through the brake handle to the desired point and re-tighten the knot firmly. Only qualified personnel should carry out this adjustment. You must ensure that the modification does not...

important. Choose an appropriate location facing the wind. Position the paraglider in a crescent configuration to facilitate inflation. A clean wing layout will ensure a trouble-free take off. The NKare Bag guides you through the folding process, allowing you to concertina pack the wing with each rod on top of the other and then fold the wing as required. This folding system ensures that both the fabric and the reinforcements of the internal structure are kept in perfect condition. 3.6 LANDING 4. IN FLIGHT Landing the KOYOT 4 P is like landing any other paraglider. Correctly executing the...

Do not correct the glider (braking) for too long in case this provokes a stall. If you have to take corrective action, make the input then reestablish the correct flying speed. 4.2 POSSIBLE CONFIGURATIONS To become familiar with the manoeuvres described below, we recommend practising within the environment of a licensed training outfit. You must adapt your use of the brakes depending on the wing-loading and avoid over-steering. It is important to note that the type of reaction to a manoeuvre can vary from one size of wing to another, and even within the same size the behaviour and reactions...

your body to any side WITHOUT PULLING ON THE BRAKE LINES. Deep Stall The possibility of the KOYOT 4 P stalling during normal flight is very unlikely. It could only happen if you are flying at a very low air speed, whilst over-steering or performing dangerous manoeuvres in turbulent air. To provoke a deep stall, the wing has to be slowed down to its minimum air speed by symmetrically pulling the brake lines all the way (100%) down until the stall point is reached and held there. The glider will first pitch rearward and then reposition itself overhead, rocking slightly, depending on how the...
