The airfoil not only needed to offer great performance and very dynamic handling, it also had to provide optimal collapse and recovery behaviour. We also managed to improve the finish of the cloth: the surface is smoother, single cells have less flare and fewer wrinkles. The combination of these elements forms an outstanding unit.
Despite the stricter certification rules, this new wing exceeds its predecessor in all disciplines. 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. It is possible to have your Nova paraglider made with Custom Colours, but the colour layout has to be based on the gliders standard design pattern , and colours can only be chosen from the colours available in the materials which the glider is made from.

To improve the handling characteristics we were looking for a balance between the Mentor 1 and the Factor. The result is a very agile and lively glider, which offers enough pitch and roll stability to relax the pilot during long flights, as well as in turbulent conditions.
The brake pressure is rather small and you can fly the Mentor 2 with little brake travel efficiently in thermals. One reason for the easy handling characteristics is the small projected aspect ratio. Even less than on the Mentor 1 This makes it less tricky to control the glider in demanding conditions.
We were also taking a lot of care with the behaviour in accelerated flight. The pressure on the speed bar is very light and the wing increases speed efficiently. Combined with the high stability, it is very comfortable to use the whole speed range of the Mentor 2. We spent a lot of time to test the Mentor 2 in practical conditions. We couldn't think of a better place than our main testing site - the Rofan.
It is known for its bumpy lee-thermals and for its strong valley winds during the summer months. In these conditions the Mentor 2 stands out thanks to its high stability. If a collapse occurs, it tends to be quite small and the reopening occurs without impulsiveness. The long available brake travel and the increasing brake pressure helps to avoid an unintended stall when counter braking after a collapse. The small aspect ratio makes cravats very unlikely. The overall behaviour of the Mentor 2 is easy to manage and very predictable for pilots with some experience.
We recommend to all Mentor 2 pilots to test the behaviour after collapses themselves during an SIV to get their own impression. The Mentor 2 continues an impressive streak: Since the Thermik Magazine started to measure the glide ratio, there was always a Nova glider on top of the EN B Segment and it always stayed on top until it was outperformed by its successor.
All those gliders could prove their performance in practical conditions with big success in various online XC-contests. Until now: The Mentor 2 outperforms the Mentor 1 by far.
