paramotor wing · intermediate

Zephyr has been an amazing wing in the intermediate class since the beginning. It has proven itself as very solid, stable and fun wing for recreational pilots. With ultimate ease of launch, simple ground-handling characteristics and uncompromising passive safety the new version of the Zephyr Paramotor Wing is the best choice for your paramotor adventures. The superior speed of this wing is well known and now you can have an ultra fast glider with the safety of a basic intermediate wing certified EN B.

Not only the zephyr pw excels for its trim speed but the direct handling still remains forgiving for intermediate pilots. High stability in pitch and roll and the absorption of the torch movement makes this wing your perfect companion for the long flights of your paramotor career.

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.

zephyr pw > 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.
