MAMBOO - click on photo to enlarge

With the MAMBOO Nova found the right balance. The brake pressure is light but the feedback is still good. The glider needs only a little input to react but the brake travel is still long enough for the 1-2 certification. Although the wing is agile and very dynamic in turns, the thermalling performance in weak lift is the best we have ever had in this class.
The NOVA MAMBOO sets the new benchmark for performance and dynamics in the new 1-2 class. Despite the stricter certification rules, this new wing exceeds its predecessor in all disciplines.

Main characteristics:

The MAMBOO is a high performance wing in the DHV 1-2 class for occasional pilots.
It offers very dynamic handling, extraordinary thermalling performance and top level glide ratio and speed.

The NOVA MAMBOO demonstrates in an impressive way the possibilities of up-to-date paragliding development by using very modern technical tools in combination of many years of practical experience.

The MAMBOO impressed our test team most with its dynamic handling, its very impressive performance and its smooth reactions during extreme maneuvers.

OZONE VULCAN

The supreme fun machine! It has taken three years to bring a new glider that supercedes the legendary Octane in every way. The Vulcan is smoother, faster, and has more performance and more safety (and even looks better) - than the Octane while retaining its incredible carving dynamism.

For an all-round fun machine with good cross country performance the Vulcan is proving even more popular than the Octane.

One medium red Vulcan in stock - silly price

$1190 NZ

AIRWAVE MAGIC small 65-90kgs and medium 75-100kgs

Airwave Magics are arguably the finest DHV2-3 of their time (2001-2002). They have exquisite, light, accurate handling - about as fine as Airwave's handling's ever been. With 8.6 to 8.7 glide ratio. This medium is one of my special colour schemes - note how many are now copying these special colour schemes of 2001.

They are made of Gelvenor silicon cloth which lasts indefintely and both are in excellent condition with low hours. They offer an excellent step up for a good intermediate pilot, or a super cheap fun/coastal machine, with huge performance!

Silly price for a dream machine - $NZ 690

 


Nova Aeron - click on photo to enlarge

Nova Aeron M 90-110kg, two in stock, one blue, one red (stunning 4-colour top and 3-colour bottom surface), DHV 2, 9 glide ratio, 53kmh top speed, 57 cells. 80hrs and 120 hrs, both have 12 minutes porosity - Gelvenor cloth lasts two or three times longer than other cloths.

The Aeron is a revolution - there has not been this much performance on a wing with such easy mid-level DHV 2 safety. This is not a tweaked high end DHV 2 glider - it has an incredibly stable mid section which hardly ever collapses, it's been the most popular DHV2 wing in the world until the Tattoo (its replacement) came. Its proven itself to give very high performance without the scary moments. It brings amazing cross-country and competition performance to the DHV 2 safety level making it accessible to the better intermediate pilots.

There is a good independant and comprehensive review of the Aeron at www.flayhay.com

One red left - superb condition - $890


Ozone Octane - click on photo to enlarge
                             

OZONE OCTANE M 80-100kg, DHV 2, 8 glide, 50kmh top speed, 53 cells, 100 hours, very good condition, 15 mins porosity, Octanes are the greatest all-round fun machine ever, they have the most extraordinary accurate quick handling which is why they became the ACRO standard - the majority of acro competitors flew the Octane. Huge dynamic accuracy without getting the pilot into too much trouble. If you miss out on the Octane you have missed a great piece of history and one of the best steps in the evolution toward the perfect glider. It took Ozone 3 years to improve on it to create the new Vulcan. The hardest thing is to convince Octane owners that there could be a better wing. It's an outrageous day when you can buy such a wing for $990 NZ
