{"product_id":"nova-ibex-2","title":"Nova Ibex 2 (PAST MODEL)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IBEX 2 is more robust than its forerunner, and therefore it doesn't only target para alpinists, but also pilots who need a very durable glider for flying on stony take-off sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides the stronger cloth (on the bottom sail), the IBEX 2 differs from the IBEX 1 with its nylon rods, which are replacing the mylar reinforcements on the leading edge. In combination with the new vector strap we could considerably increase the stability of the front section of the glider. Therefore the take-off behaviour got even better. The performance, especially accelerated got better as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFlying with the IBEX 2:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ibex 2 is not just fun and uncomplicated to fly. The small pack volume and the light weight makes it very easy to reach any destination you like. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you are at the take-off the Ibex 2 is outstandingly easy to launch in various wind conditions: In strong winds the small glider can be controlled better than bigger wings, and without wind the canopy climbs quickly above the pilot. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen airborne the high wing loading offers a combination of agility and dynamic handling characteristics which can hardly be found among certified gliders. The glider reacts precisely and very quickly to brake inputs and if you fly it on top of the weight range, the wing builds up a lot of speed in steep turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you fly the glider with less weight, of course the handling gets less dynamic, but the wing will still be more agile than “normal” gliders in their smallest size. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IBEX 2 is part of the ROOKIE\/ION family which has proven its safety potential thousands of times. Without this potential it wouldn't have been possible to pass the certification tests with such a small glider. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering the small size the IBEX 2 has a very well manageable collapse behavior. Due to the high wing loading the glider is very stable in turbulent conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the cleaner finish and the higher stability at the leading edge the IBEX 2 glides better than the IBEX 1 who is already well known for its great performance in the class of mini-wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high performance is an advantage for mountaineers if they have to cover some distance after their hike. For soaring pilots the little sink rate is essential on days with less wind. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd last but not least: The IBEX 15 can be thermalled pretty well on top of the weight-range. This can't be claimed for many 15sqm gliders!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChanges compared to the IBEX 1:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKink resistant nylon rods at the leading edge improve the take off handling and increase the stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVector strap directly behind the intake openings increase the stability as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust cloth on the lower surface for more durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew position of the brake pulley and a new attachment for better ergonomics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirt openings at the stabilizer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePilot's profile\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small size of the IBEX 2 and thereby the high wingloading make certain demands for the pilot. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IBEX 2 15 needs a experienced pilot, who has already gathered solid experience in turbulent conditions and also with manoeuvres like collapses. The glider is very predictable in its reactions but sometimes it requires fast and sensitive brake inputs. Therefore the pilot should already have certain \"reflexes\" from flying other wings. Of course the wing loading has a certain influence on the pilots requirements: If you fly the wing with less than 75kg it will be less demanding than if you fly it on top of the weight range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IBEX 2 17 is more damped than the IBEX 2 15. Especially for very light pilots, we think, that the glider is also suited for occasional pilots. If you fly the IBEX 2 17 on top of its weight range, you need more experience to deal with the dynamic flying behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the \u003ca title=\"Download the Nova Ibex 2 User Manual English\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nova-wings.com\/download\/files\/IBEX_2_V10_280811eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNova Ibex 2 User Manual English\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNova Ibex 2 \u0026gt; Technical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZoom factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.770\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.820\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo of cells\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjected wingspan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.37\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.85\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjected surface area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.07\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.09\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjected aspect ratio\/td\u0026gt;\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.61\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.61\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat wingspan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.52\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat surface area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.08\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat aspect ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0,6 \/ 1,4 \/ 1,85\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0,6 \/ 1,4 \/ 1,85\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.93\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.31\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e235\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emax. profile depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.33\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emin. profile depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003em\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.49\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.52\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ekg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLegal take-off weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ekg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etake-off weight motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ekg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Nova","offers":[{"title":"15","offer_id":56664628920702,"sku":"NOVA-IBEX2-15","price":1874.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"17","offer_id":56664628953470,"sku":"NOVA-IBEX2-17","price":1874.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/2973\/2734\/files\/image_1316512577_1_1.jpg?v=1764774603","url":"https:\/\/flybubble.com\/products\/nova-ibex-2","provider":"Flybubble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
