- Page 5 > congratulations Congratulations on the purchase of your new paraglider The ZENITH is a very versatile wing and has been designed for all types of recreational flying, from long cross country and competition flying, to relaxing smooth evening and morning soaring flights.
- Page 6 > desing materials The ZENITH is a EN B 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.
- Page 7 Risers are made of pre-stretched polyester. > certification The ZENITH is a paraglider of a intermediate level that has passed the tests of the EN evel B with great success. This glider has successfully passed the DHV shock test with a weight equal to the maximum total (all up) take-off weight.
- Page 8 The ZENITH has a brake of medium weight resistance (from 1.5 to 3 kg of force) for the majority of manoeuvres. To reach the stall (never recommended on any type of paraglid- er), requires more than 9kg.

Page 9: Thermal Flying
& this will also help you to understand the dynamics of a paraglider in flight. -- thermal flying The ZENITH is truly a pleasure to thermal with. To achieve the best sink rate the pilot should use around 35% of inside brake (on the turn-... - Page 10 90% of the span) tucks or collapses, usually induced by turbulence but some- times also though poor pilot control in turns and wing-overs. The ZENITH is tested and certified to automatically recover without correction by the pilot, but with the correct input the pilot can minimise any turning, and height lose, and help the glider recover more quickly.
- Page 11 -- asymmetric stall (spin) This is a very difficult situation for the pilot to provoke with the ZENITH, given it's very low stall speed, you have to really abuse the controls a lot to manage it. Even so, this sit-...

& if in doubt land as quickly as is safely possible. Even though the ZENITH is DHV 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: Spiral Dive
If you release hands up from a tight spiral dive you will experience a big surge followed by a dive. (In turbulent air this can result in a collapse.) The ZENITH has been tested for this but it is advisable to learn the correct exit method, i.e. progressively release the inside brake. -
Page 14: Maintenance
We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by or the Windtech distributor at least once a year. Besides this you should check periodically the lines, cloth and stitching. Small tears in the sail can be repaired by using adhesive spinnaker cloth, which we supply with every new glider. -
