& liability
This manual has been created to give the pilot help and hints for the correct operation of
this wing. By no means is this a substitute of a training course, or appropriate experience
gained with years and hours of airtime, nor is this manual intended to give pilots knowl-
edge regarding flight safety.
Windtech assumes that the purchasing pilot has the appropriate pilot's licence, has
taken a training course, tandem insurance and has the ability and enough experience to
safely fly the CARGO.
This manual cannot be used for operational purposes. The flight log
& registration card
must be filled and stamped by the dealer
& returned to
Windtech in order to make a
claim on the guarantee.
The use of this paraglider is entirely at the user's own risk. As with any adventure sport
paragliding is a high risk activity-especially without taking the appropriate precautions-
therefore it must be absolutely understood that

use or misuse of this product.
> philosophy of design
When Windtech decided to make a tandem paraglider, we first established the main cri-
teria that we felt would be the most important to make the perfect tandem wing. The
wing had to be, above all, easy to inflate and launch in all conditions, with excellent han-
dling, high glide performance, and that it would convert energy extremely well to give an
effective flare, for softer landings.
For this we designed a paraglider with 51 cells of variable widths, not all of which have
line attachment points due to the advanced structural relationship of lines/diagonals. In
this way we have considerably reduced parasitic drag produced by the lines whilst at the
same time endowing the interior of the wing with a higher internal pressure and creat-
