What do industry professionals think of the Koyot?

"Niviuk&39;s Koyot 5/Koyot 5 P is a fantastic training glider. It is the perfect tool for new pilots to learn and perfect their flying skills, while providing good performance and passive safety. It is the option our school uses and it is reliable in everything a school needs from a beginner paraglider.”


Wally Arcidiacono, Chief Instructor at Bright Flight Paragliding (Australia).
 

"The Koyot 5/Koyot 5 P is a huge peace of mind for our instructors. The wing inflates, stabilises and flies off with ease, providing a performance that is not to be underestimated, as well as enormous safety and comfort for the students, who feel relaxed and focused on receiving all kinds of instructions. For us, it is the best guarantee that we have everything under control.”

What do industry professionals think of the Hook?

"The Hook 6/Hook 6 P is the ideal glider to continue the pilot&39;s progression in a very safe way. While maintaining very high levels of safety and stability, it has very good performance for its category, maintaining easy and intuitive piloting and take off, and very stable in flight due to its ability to absorb turbulence. Ideal for beginning cross-country flying with maximum safety.”

Pedro Jiménez Moreno, director of the Desnivel flying school (Spain).

"Niviuk&39;s Hook 6/Hook 6 P is a great first glider for students just out of school. It has the unique combination of being gentle and caring to beginners as well as being an XC kilometer hunter as the new pilot progresses. Designed to aid newer pilots in the transition from first thermals to first cross-country and beyond. Agile handling gives the pilot direct authority without overwhelming them with a too sporty feel.”
