- Page 6 We have produced this manual so that you can get to know your EVO 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 train- ing course, and has the suitable ability and enough experience to safely fly the EVO.
- Page 7 The EVO is equipped with a double leading edge designed by that it provides Windtech with higher performance and security at high speed and which enables a better take-off. It disposes also of a mayor zone of aspiration (area) at the key areas in a different posi- tion regarding the profile thus enabling a better take-off behaviour and re-opening after collapse.
- Page 8 a greater amount of security with a very effective and easy to use system. The A-riser is splitted into two: one of them holds the central lines, marked in blue colour and the other one which holds the exterior, marked in red colour; you should pull this riser down to induce the big-ears;...

Page 10: Powered Flight
-- powered flight The concept of performance under power is considerably different to that in free-flight (without power). Factors that affect this include: thrust; power and size of the engine; diameter of the cage; flight altitude; meteorological conditions, such as density of the air;... - Page 11 38 cm between karabiners. For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and WindSOS reserve. Windtech -- inflation and take off A paramotor launch is always more complicated than a free-flying (without paramotor) one.

ing on the webbing) (bottom stitching, the 5 maillons must be level). Make sure that the brake toggles are free running and not tangled. - If you have attached the speed system, make sure that it is correctly set up, complete- ly free running, and not tangled or caught up in any other part of your equipment. - Page 13 thrust, especially as you increase power. If the pilot encounters an area of turbulence just as they apply power (they are pushed forward by the power of the engine and the angle of attack of the wing therefore increases), one should be extremely careful as the con- trol and flight behaviour of the wing is very different whilst under power.
- Page 14 autonomously and without problem. However, if the pilot wishes to help with re-infla- tion of the glider, this is the procedure to follow: First, one should release the speed system (if one has it on) and pull both brakes approx- imately 50% until the glider reopens, and then immediately release the brakes so as to not stall the wing.

Page 15: Emergency Procedures
and methods for setting up a good and safe controlled landing approach, you should talk to other more experienced pilots, and/or a club coach or instructor BEFORE YOU FLY. You should have a thorough briefing on the site, conditions, take-off, flight plan and landing BEFORE you fly, ideally with radio guidance. -
Page 16: Spiral Dive
The simplest form of descent. To do this, simply pull on the big-ears line one at a time by taking hold of the plastic balls at the end the EVO´s big-ears cleat-ing system (first making sure that the line is released from the cleat), then pulling them down all the way, one at a time. -
Page 17: B-Line Stall
It is NOT recommended to induce a spiral dive at the same time as applying any thrust or power from the engine, as this could result in instability. -- b-line stall SET TRIMMERS TO NEUTRAL POSITION To induce a ‘B-line” stall, first take hold of both ‘B’ risers (left and right) one in each hand (left and right respectively) FIRMLY at the maillons. -
Page 18: Maintenance
Absolutely avoid contact with chemical agents like oil, petrol, solvent and similar, which can damage the fabric and its surface covering. We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by Windtech an approved repair centre at least once a year. Besides this you should check Windtech periodically the lines, cloth and stitching. - Page 19 | technical specifications | Size Area (m 24.10 25.85 27.6 30.15 Projected area (m 21.27 22.8 24.3 26.6 Span (m) 11.12 11.52 11.9 12.44 Project. span (m) 9.22 9.55 9.86 10.31 Aspect ratio 5.13 5.13 5.13 Project. aspect ratio.
