The Tempus is our wing for new paraglider pilots and schools, certified DHV 1.
We have made a paraglider with easy inflation characteristics, even in nil wind, beautifully harmonized handling and very good performance. It's stall speed is outside of the range of the brake travel, so the pilot cannot stall the glider by mistake, which gives great peace of mind for new pilots.
In general, this glider has been thought out and designed so that you can start to fly with a great safety margin and due to it's excellent performance always continue to progress your skills and grow as a pilot, so the Tempus will last you many years.
|
> The majority of this wing's design revolves around making a glider which would comfortably pass the requirements of the new DHV 1 tests, which are now much harder than they were before, whilst still having very good performance and handling.
> The result is a paraglider that, thanks to its new profile and its perfect structural architecture, out-flies it's predecessor, behaves very well in turbulence and in the case of a collapse, barely dives at all. |

Skywings magazine, December 2004
|
 |
«The Tempus is Windtech's latest offering in the beginner market, intended both for school use and as a first wing for the qualified pilot.» «Alpine launching is fairly effortless, the wing coming up immediately and stopping overhead.» «First impressions of the Tempus are much as expected for a beginner wing – a solid feel and brake pressures to match.The wing communicates what the air is doing but doesn't scare you when it becomes rough…»

| tempus > 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. |
