> warning
&
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 expe-
rience gained with years and hours of airtime, nor is this manual intended to give pilot´s
knowledge regarding flight safety.
Windtech assumes that the purchasing pilot has the appropriate pilot's licence, has
taken a training course, and has the ability and enough experience to safely fly the
ARIAL
.
This manual cannot be used for operational purposes. The flight log
&
registration card
must be filled out completly 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
Windtech
&
the dealer do not accept
any responsibility for accidents, losses, injuries, direct or indirect damage following the
use or misuse of this product.
> design materials
Because of our great experience over many years, and
extensive research into paragliding design, we always
use only the very best materials available for each
and every part of the structure of all of our gliders,
including the ARIAL.
-- cloth
The upper and lower panels are made with 45 gr.
Porcher Marine Skytex nylon. The ribs are made with
stronger nylon of to prevent airofoil deformation,
even after several years of intensive use. Rib (cell
wall) reinforcements are made of Dacron 310
&
180gr.
Line attachment points are made of polyester.
-- lines
The lines are made of Kevlar covered with polyester sheath for protection against wear,
UV and abrasion. The lower section of the brake lines is made from Dyneema. This mate-
rial is less prone to failure after repeated use through the brake pulleys. The riser kara-
biners, also called quick links, are made with stainless steel of 800 Dan. Risers are made
of pre-stretched polyester of 900 Dan.
