Page 5: Congratulations
With easy launch characteristics, manoeuvra- bility and turn ability akin to a solo glider, and superb performance, the bantoo makes it possible to core the smallest of thermals and climb even in the weakest lift.

Page 7 When the time comes to land, the exquisite handling characteristics and precision of the bantoo serve as another great guarantee of safety since you can first of all guide your- self more precisely into exactly the spot you wanted to land in, confident that in the final moment, when you want to flare, you will be able to take advantage of the wings superb energy conversion, landing both you and your passenger easy and safety each time.
Page 8: Certification
(800daN). The risers themselves have been made with pre-stretched polyester (900 daN). > certification The bantoo is certified DHV 1-2 with trimmers for dual (tandem) or single (solo) use, and is also DHV approved for winch towing. The DHV weight range is 135 – 220kg all-up (total weight in flight).
Page 9: Launch
In this way, you will adapt rapidly to the great qualities of the bantoo, without having to preoccupy yourself with too many new things at once, and so you will be enjoying great flights whilst minimizing the risk to yourself and your passenger.
Page 10: Thermal Flying
Before you take off, lay out the bantoo in a slight arc. Always do all of your pre-flight checks (lines, maillons, risers, harness buckles, etc). Carefully observe all of the details that relevant to your launch (tension in the lines, windsock, obstacles, etc).
Page 11: Asymmetric Stall (Spin)
--asymmetric stall (spin) This is a very difficult situation for the pilot to provoke with the bantoo, given its exce- llent feedback and very low stall speed, you have to really abuse the controls a lot to manage it.
Page 12: Weather To Fly
Always be aware of the weather changing & if in doubt land as quickly as is safely possible. Even though the bantoo is DHV 1-2 this is not a guarantee against flying in turbulent air. Remember that even an airline jet can crash due to rotors and bad weather! >...
Page 13: Big Ears
To induce big-ears on the bantoo, keep the brakes in your hands and reach up to hold the top of the special split-A risers. Pull the lines out and down, one at a time, to collap- se the tips of the wing (10 –...
Page 14: Maintenance
We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by Windtech the distributor at least once a year. Besides this you should check periodically the lines, cloth and stitching. Check the lines for fraying, or the stitching coming undone, and mea- sure them to check for any shrinking.
