Modifications
Your Ozone MagMax 2 was designed and trimmed to give the optimum balance of performance,
handling and safety. Any modification means the glider loses its certification and will also be
more difficult to fly. We strongly recommend that you do not modify your glider in any way.
Flying in the Rain
Modern wings are susceptible to rain and moisture, flying with a wet wing can result in the
loss of normal flight.
Due to the efficient, wrinkle-free design of the sail, water tends to bead on the leading
edge causing flow separation. Flow separation will make the wing more prone to entering
inadvertent parachutal stalls, so flying in the rain, or with a wet wing (e.g early morning dew)
should be avoided at all costs.
If you are accidently caught-out in a rain shower, it is best to land immediately. If your
wing becomes wet in the air it is advised to maintain accelerated flight by releasing the
trimmers, even during the final approach. DO NOT use big ears as a descent technique, big
ears increases drag, and with a wet wing this will further increase the chances of a parachutal
stall occurring. Instead, lose height with gentle 360’s and maintain your air speed at all times.
If your wing enters parachutal stall when wet, immediately release the trimmers to regain
airspeed.
IMPORTANT
Do not modify your
wing in any way.
