Syncro is an advanced glider for all expert pilots, the fruit of all of our experience with competition prototypes over the years, and incorporating a new complex system for better leading edge definition that we call the "Security Speed System".
The "SSS" gives the pilot markedly increased safety across the entire speed range. With this incredible glider you can take on even the most ambitious cross country flights, or any level of competition. Thanks to the "SSS" you can use the accelerator with confidence in conditions that you would not have been able to before.
The level of security offers is surely the best for such and advanced wing.
|
> The planform and aerofoil sections have been computer designed with a perfect aerodynamic tension to achieve the best glide possible throughout the speed range. Cell and profile thickness have been optimised throughout the glider, and change right across the span.
> There are 3 different types of diagonal ribs depending on the thickness and width of the profile and cell. There are no "secondary" ribs. All seams are on the inside (top and bottom surface) for better longevity.
> The line layout has been optimised to drastically reduce the total length of lines, greatly reducing total drag.
> The cells have a mixture of closed and half-closed cells, therefore the leading edge has an ultra high definition, and with the SSS is extremely rigid. This makes the Syncro's incredible balance of high safety and the high performance undoubtedly the best on the market. |

Custom Colours
It is possible to have your Windtech glider made in custom colours but keeping the original design (pattern) of the wing. The colours are limited to those available for the glider material. |
 |
Logo Service
We provide a full service to have logos put on your new Windtech glider (eg. company or sponsor logos, artwork, etc). The cost for this would depend on the size and complexity of the logo. |

Fly-man glider transfer
Add some unique style to your new Windtech glider with this great looking 4m wide transfer of the Flyman, Windtech's flying mascot. You can tell us where you want it, or put it on yourself. |
| All orders with non-standard options or flyman transfer have an extra cost and a longer delivery time, depending on how long it takes to get in materials and production. If you are interested in any of these opciones please consult your dealer about your requirements. |

Parapente Vuelo Libre magazine, April-May 2002
|
 |
«…there are a great many innovations… to maximise the aerodynamic benefit… and the reality is that it works perfectly.» «…a remarkable stability, endorsing so much design and construction work.» «The turn is simply delicious, quick and without any tendency to either tighten up or open out.» «…sophisticated, manoeuvrable, fast with the accelerator» «…a very accessible wing for pilots who wish to come into the 2-3 class for the first time…»

A printed version of this manual is bundled with the wing.
It includes lots of useful details and information about this glider, also the correct line diagrams for proper replacement. |

| syncro > quality control |
 |
Each and every wing has a checklist passed though our strict quality control in the factory. This includes line measurement, ground inflation and flight testing. If there was not the opportunity to test fly your glider before you received it then you should get your dealer, or an experienced pilot or qualified instructor, to test fly the glider for you before you fly it.
Note that each glider has a unique sticker attached to the centre cell with the serial number, type of glider, size and weight range. |
|
We recommend that your first flight on your new glider be on a gentle slope in calm conditions before making any further higher flights, just to check the glider completely and for you to get used to flying it.
You should use the same class of harness, and restrict the width of the chest strap, according to the glider's certification as advised by the certification body.
|
 |
For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and Windtech WindSOS reserve. |
