Launch:

The NOVA MENTOR is very easy to launch.
When the pilot is ready to take off he / she holds the A-risers and the brake
handles in each hand.
To facilitate differentiation between the risers, the A-lines, including the sleeves
on the A-risers, are coloured red.
Hold the A risers with arms outstretched behind you.
Before take off recheck the canopy, the direction of the wind and the air space
around you! A good progressive run ensures your NOVA MENTOR will inflate
and come up equally and quickly.
