If your wing undergoes NOVA Trim Tuning and a NOVA Full Service by an authorised NOVA partner, the guarantee extends to four years*. If repair isn’t possible, we will deduct the current value when purchasing a new NOVA paraglider. NOVA 3 Years No Full Service Required If your wing receives NOVA Trim Tuning, the standard two-year service check extends to three years (from the date of purchase), as long as you stay within the flight hours specified in the manual. This lets you focus on what you love—flying! NOVA Trim Tuning Over time, glider lines stretch or shrink, affecting performance. Typically, A and B lines stretch while C lines shrink, making the wing slower and less agile. NOVA Trim Tuning (NTT), developed with instructor and mathematician Ralf Antz, restores optimal performance. After 15-20 flight hours, send your wing to us or an authorised partner for measurement and trimming. Wings with NTT qualify for the 3-Year No Check Required guarantee. NOVA Full Service Our NOVA Full Service is more than a routine check—it ensures your glider is in top condition. We assess porosity, line lengths, and trim using our advanced Quality Assurance Database (QAD). All measurements are recorded, allowing technicians to make precise adjustments. This system helps us refine our designs for better safety and performance. NOVA Quality Assurance Database Your glider’s history is digitally stored in our QAD. Registering at MyNOVA grants access to all service records, including Full Service logs and Trim Tuning data. This system also helps us monitor material durability and improve future designs. NOVA service centres use QAD to assess your wing before servicing, enhancing knowledge transfer for better safety.
