RA, the new DHV 2 glider from Nova
RA, named after the Egyptian sun god, is Nova's DHV 2 wing. In its class, it excels with an unrivalled L/D and unique climbing performance.
Actually, it is even better than its predecessor, the TATTOO, which, after two years, still represents one of the top-performers within DHV class 2... Just like the Tattoo’s, the RA’s handling is direct and immediate, but it can be flown highly effectively with slight brake line input only, without much weight shifting. The DHV Gütesiegel has been granted for size M (90–100 kg / 198–242 lbs), the other sizes are to be approved shortly.
Performance: The main reason for the RA’s outstanding performance is its reduced line set-up. It features 2 main lines per row and only three risers. A mere 286 metres of lines are sufficient for the RA in size M – more than a hundred meters less than a Tattoo in the same size. Thin Dyneema upper cascade lines with 0,6 mm diameter further enhance this advantage, as these upper lines contribute 40 % to the total line resistance. Actually, the low resistance is even more beneficial at Vmax than at Vtrim.
