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 appro-
priate 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

TECNO.

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 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

use or misuse of this product

The

TECNO

is a

DHV 2

glider that offers total security, along with beautiful handling

&

incredible performance. The performance is very high due to a well-defined structure
with 61 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. Due to the special SSS system of the leading edge with floating rein-
forcements, so that the leading edge maintains totally solid when accelerated. The new
profile provides security, performance and efficient turning behaviour.
