We have produced this manual so that you can get to know your 

KI N E T I K

better, with

some helpful tips to help you feel comfortable with it from the very first day.

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 

KI N E T I K

.

THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL IS NOT INTENDED AS A “TEACH YOURSELF PARAMOTORING”
BOOKLET. We have to make it very clear that to fly this wing safely and proficiently IT IS
NOT ENOUGH JUST TO READ THIS MANUAL, and that you, the pilot, MUST complete a
suitable paramotor flying course, and gain a good understanding of the concepts of
flight, both powered and un-powered. It is also imperative that you gain a good unders-
tanding of the weather and flying conditions, so that you know when it is safe to fly, and
WHEN IT IS NOT SAFE TO FLY.

This manual cannot be
used for operational
purposes. The flight log

&

registration card must

be filled and stamped by
the dealer 

&

returned to

Windtech

in order to

claim on the guarantee. 

The use of this paragli-
der is entirely at the
user's own risk. As with
any adventure sport
paragliding is a high risk
a c t i v i t y - e s p e c i a l l y
without taking the
appropriate precau-
tions- therefore it must

The 

KI N E T I K

is a glider that offers total security with beautiful handling 

&

perfoman-

ce. 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.
