This manual has been created to give the pilot help and hints to help with the correct
operation of this wing. By no means is this a substitute of a training course, or appropriate experience gained with years and hours of airtime, nor is this manual intended to
give pilot´s knowledge regarding flight safety.
Windtech
assumes that the purchasing pilot has the appropriate pilot's licence, has
taken a training course, and has the suitable ability and enough experience to safely fly
the ZEPHYR.
This manual cannot be used for operational purposes. The flight log and registration card
must be filled and stamped by the dealer and returned to
Windtech
in order to claim
on the guarantee.
The use of this paraglider is entirely at the user's own risk. As with any adventure sport
paragliding is a high risk activity-especially without taking the appropriate precautions
- therefore it must be absolutely understood that
Windtech
and the dealer do not
accept any responsibility for accidents, losses, injuries, direct or indirect damage following the use or misuse of this product
> desing materials
The ZEPHYR offers total security, along with beautiful handling and incredible performance. The performance is very high due to a well-defined structure with 52 cells, with an
internal structure comprised of diagonals of different types, depending on the width of
the cell and an optimized line layout to reduce the overall number of lines.
