Page 6: Warning & Liability > Congratulations
Windtech taken a training course, tandem insurance and has the ability and enough experience to safely fly the TUAREG. This manual cannot be used for operational purposes. The flight log & registration card must be filled and stamped by the dealer & returned to... - Page 7 (above all frontal collapses). The tuareg’s new profile gives highly elevated security and performance, as well as a turning ability that is surprisingly efficient. It has double profiles in the leading edge, therefore it is safer, specially when trims open and also has more performance at high speed.

Page 8: Certification
The inner core is super aramid and the outer sheath polyester to protect against general wear and tear and UV. > certification The tuareg is certified It is certified EN with A in all maneuvers but a B in the asym- metrical collapse maneuver. > performance Fly a tuareg in the correct size for you. - Page 9 The best glide on the tuareg, not taking into consideration any horizontal or vertical movements of the air, is obtained simply by flying at the glider’s trim speed. That is to say, by having the trimmers in standard position ( when all the maillons are at equal level) and flying with no brake or speed system applied.

Page 10: Launch
Before you take off, lay out the tuareg 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: Thermal Flying
The tuareg is blessed with superb handling and manoeuvra- bility, which means that you don't need a lot of brake to turn it, and by using the outside brake to control the airspeed of the outer wing, you can flatten the turn and climb excep- tionally well and efficiently. -
Page 12: Asymmetric Tuck
-- asymmetric stall (spin) This is a very difficult situation for the pilot to provoke with the tuareg, given its excellent feedback and very low stall speed, you have to really abuse the controls a lot to manage it. -
Page 13: Landing
You need to pay particular attention with your first landings, above all, if they are your first tandem flights or your are used to the glide angle of your old glider, as the tuareg’s excellent performance might surprise you. -
Page 14: Rapid Descent Techniques
To induce big-ears on the tuareg, keep the brakes in your hands and reach up to hold the top of the special split-A risers (in red). Pull the lines out and down, one at a time, to collapse the tips of the wing (10 –... -
Page 15: B Stall
The tuareg comes equipped with a special riser system to facilitate entering a b-line stall, with handles similar to those of the brakes. If one pulls these the tuareg will enter the b-line stall and come straight down, drifting with the wind. -
