Its excellent glide was demonstrated at the Dolomitenmann 2019 when Chrigel Maurer and his team won the overall rankings. If you like it less dynamic or have a higher take-off weight, the BANTAM size 14 is the ideal partner for para-mountaineering adventures. Nova's 320 grams MONTIS harness (size M) is the perfect match for the BANTAM. In size 12, wing and harness have a combined weight of only 2000 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLet your ambition fly.\u003c\/strong\u003e Climb high peaks and instead of descending on foot, why not opt for a few barrel rolls on your way to the valley. If that’s your thing and you have the BANTAM in your pack, you can experience the mountains more intensively from now on. The low aspect ratio and extremely short lines make the launch simpler and handling more direct. Even at trim speed, the BANTAM is fast and the speed increase at full acceleration is impressive. Nevertheless, the stability in turbulent air remains remarkably high. Even if you are not a Dolomitenmann, Rise\u0026amp;Fall, etc. competitor, the BANTAM can help you achieve your hike \u0026amp; fly personal best. And the best thing… in comparison to single-surface gliders, its flare characteristics are a particular advantage of the BANTAM. This offers a safety reserve even during adverse landing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy professionals for professionals.\u003c\/strong\u003e The BANTAM was weight-optimised where possible without neglecting any of the technical details. It features extra short mini-ribs and an upper surface vector tape. With a line length of only four metres (size 12) - the best value in this glider class - the glider can be laid out well even on the smallest launch site. The focus in terms of brake geometry was on precise handling and optimal flare behaviour. This, of course, helps during landing, but also during takeoff, because with some brake the glider generates a lot of lift and takes off even at low speed. And once in the air, it’s full speed ahead. Brake travel is very long and its top speed is correspondingly high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePilot target group\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BANTAM (EN\/LTF D) is not suitable for beginners or instruction and is aimed at experienced pilots who want to be on the move with as little weight as possible during hike \u0026amp; fly, mountain running, vol biv or competitions. Flown with a high wing-loading, its very direct handling and dynamic flight characteristics enable manoeuvres such as barrel rolls. Also in extreme situations, the BANTAM requires precise control inputs and active intervention by the pilot.

For quality control purposes Nova regularly take samples during serial production. The BANTAM is made from the lightest cloth currently available on the market. It is also characterised by its small packing volume and high UV resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMini-ribs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMini-ribs increase the number of cells in the rear wing area and thus provide an aerodynamically optimised trailing edge.

This prevents the glider from sliding down while being laid out. If you inflate the canopy, the pins will release automatically.

Nova Air Scoop is an optimised air intake, which increases the internal wing pressure.
