The Speedster 2 has been designed as a solo paramotoring wing for competent intermediate
pilots only. It is not suitable for beginner pilots nor is it intended for training, tandem flights
or aerobatic manoeuvres.
Ozone wings are designed and tested to the highest standards, the Speedster 2 has passed
the EN 926.2 flight test and 926.1 load test and has DGAC certification. It is certified EN C with
the trimmers set to the slow position. Using the trimmers or accelerator system invalidates
this certification.
Trike Flying
The Speedster 2 may be used with a light solo trike so long as the maximum recommended
weight range, and the maximum permitted load are respected.
Towing
The Speedster 2 may be tow-launched. It is the pilot’s responsibility to use suitable harness
attachments and release mechanisms and to ensure that they are correctly trained on the
equipment and system employed. All tow pilots should be qualified to tow, use a qualified tow
operator with proper, certified equipment, and make sure all towing regulations are observed.
Total Weight in flight
Each Ozone glider has been designed and certified with a defined weight range. Never fly
above the recommended weight ranges.
Modifications
Your Ozone Speedster 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 probably be more difficult to fly. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that
you do not modify your glider in any way.
The tearing resistance of the cloth - A non-destructive test following the TS-108 standard
which specifies minimum tear strength for sky diving canopies should be made using a
Bettsometer. (B.M.A.A. Approved Patent No. GB 2270768 Clive Betts Sails)
Strength of the lines - An upper, middle and lower A line, along with a lower B and a lower
C (and lower D if applicable) line should be tested for strength. Each line is tested to breaking
point and the value recorded. The minimum value is 8 G for all lower A+B lines and 6 G for all
lower remaining lines, calculated from the maximum certified flying weight of the glider. The
added minimum strength for the middle lines and for the top lines should be the same. If the
breaking strength is too close to the minimum value calculated, the professional should give
a period after which you will have to test the strength of the lines again.
Lengths of the lines - The overall length (riser lines + mid lines + upper lines) has to be
checked under 5Kgs of tension. The difference between the measured length and the original
length should not /- 10mm. The changes that could appear are a slight shrink on the
C or Ds and/or a slight stretch on the A, B. The consequences of these changes can include a
slower trim speed, difficult inflation etc.
Risers - Visual inspection for signs of wear or abrasion. Differences to manual lengths should
not exceed +/-5mm.
Canopy check - A full visual check should be carried out: All the components of the wing
(stitching, ribs, diagonals, lines, tabs, ...) should be checked for signs of deterioration.
Finally, a test flight to confirm that the wing behaves normally should be carried out by a
professional.
IMPORTANT
Do not modify your
wing in any way.
