- Page 6 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 KINETIK.
- Page 7 This specifically designed paramotor wing has been reinforced in key areas of the wing, especially at all of the attachment points on both the under-surface and the cell walls. -- cloth The upper and lower panels are made with 45 gr. Porcher Marine Skytex nylon. The ribs are made with stronger nylon of to prevent airofoil deformation, even after several years of intensive use.
- Page 8 the trimmers are pulled fully ON (pulled all the way through the ratchet, so that the rear risers are effectively pulled down to their shortest position) the glider will fly at full slow trim speed. When the risers are released all the way OFF (ratchet pressed, so that the webbing slips all the way and the rear risers are in their longest position) the glider will fly at full fast speed.

When flying into (against the) wind a better glide can be obtained by using the speed system. The following is rough guide line as to how much to apply. -With around 10 km/h of head wind, best glide is obtained with 25% accelerator applied. -With around 15-25 km/h of head wind, best glide is obtained with 50% accelerator. - Page 10 38 cm between karabiners. For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and Windtech WindSOS reserve. -- inflation and take off A paramotor launch is always more complicated than a free-flying (without paramotor) one.
- Page 11 during take-off and landing, and never forget that flying with a propeller that is rotating 40cm from your body carries inherent risks of serious injury and is therefore NEVER a game! For a good launch with the KINETIK always remember AT LEAST the following: Lay out the glider as perpendicular to the wind as possible, for a better inflation.

Page 12: Flying In Turbulence
> flying in turbulence Only an experienced and proficient pilot should ever fly in any kind of turbulent condi- tions. The pilot has to fly ‘actively’ (to maintain correct air speed and glider attitude) in effect ‘absorbing’ turbulence with the controls and weight shift to keep the glider over- head and help prevent any deflations and always to be extremely careful not to stall the wing, through bad pilot input or use of motor, especially through overuse of thrust and/or the controls. - Page 13 than the collapse itself. Once you have maintained a safe course, and minimized the turn induced by the collapse, you can apply CORRECTION to re-inflate the collapsed side of the wing by giving smooth but firm pumps on the brake on the collapsed side, holding down the brake until the glider re-inflates.
- Page 14 immediately released as soon as the dive is stopped, so as to avoid stalling the wing by over-braking. -- landing You should pay extra care and attention for your first landings, especially if it is the first time that you fly a paramotor. Above all, it is vital that you are 100% sure of the wind direction in the landing area (ideally you should have a windsock and other pilots in the landing field to guide you for this) and, once you are sure that you have enough height, and glide, to reach the landing field easily, it is generally much better, and safer, to turn...

happen if things go wrong! With enough altitude it is possible to safely master these manoeuvres ready for the day you may need them for real! More radical’s manoeuvres such as full stall, asymmetrical stall and flat spin are not des- cribed in our manual. -

speed of rotation and descent with small changes of interior and exterior brake, and more or less weight shift. It is possible to achieve descent rates of 10-15m/s or more in this manoeuvre. It is dangerous to induce spiral dives close to the ground due to the extreme centrifugal forces which can cause fainting and, in some cases, blackouts or blurred vision..If you are at all susceptible to any of these conditions, or are feeling at all unwell for any reason, then you should not induce a spiral dive for this reason. -
