YOUR SPEEDSTER

ENGLISH
Bag
The bag has been redesigned to be comfortable and useful (pad-
ded hip belt, ergonomic and adjustable shoulder straps). It has
a large volume that will allow you to store all your kit, whilst still
being comfortable for hiking.
Brake Lines
The brake line lengths have been set carefully during testing. We
feel it is better to have slightly long brake lines and to fly with a
wrap (one turn of line around the hand). However, if you do choose
to adjust them, please bear in mind the following:
Ensure both main brake lines are of equal length. •
If a brake handle has been removed, check that its line is still •
routed through the pulley when it is replaced.
When the brake handles are released in flight, the brake lines •
should be slack. There must be a substantial “bow” in them to
guarantee no deformation of the trailing edge.
There must be a minimum of 10cm of free play before the •
brakes begin to deform the trailing edge. This prevents the
trailing edge from being deformed when using the speed sys-
tem.
IMPORTANT: In the unlikely event of a brake line snapping
in flight, or a handle becoming detached, the glider can be
flown by gently pulling the rear risers (D-risers) or the Tip
Steering System line for directional control.
Risers
The Speedster has been designed with 4 rows of lines and risers.
Each riser is covered with coloured webbing, this allows them to be
easily identified.
The A’s are GREY. You will notice that the A’s are split in two parts.
The small riser on the back, holding only one line, is the “Baby A”;
it has been designed to make applying “Big Ears” simple.
The B’s, C’s and D’s are BLACK.
The Speedster has been created with a wide range of pilots in
mind, ranging from XC distance fliers to ground skimmers and
adventure pilots alike. It is a paramotor specific glider with char-
acteristics similar to the Viper 2 (World Championship winning
competition wing) but with an overall much higher ease of use.
The Speedster is a wing for paramotor pilots who want reassuring
comfort, stability and a high cruising speed with the safety of EN C
certification.
The Speedster features a customised Ozone Reflex Profile (OZRP)
that has been tuned specifically for powered flight, this gives the
Speedster high levels of stability at lower angles of attack and
makes it very collapse resistance even in turbulent air. The OZRP
provides constant lift through a wide range of angles of attack al-
lowing you to fly very fast and very slowly with confidence.
In the air the Speedster is pitch stable and comfortable. Handling
has been refined to give the highest possible amount of agility
throughout the speed range. This allows precise thermalling and
low level manoeuvrability allowing the pilot to accurately place the
wing exactly where they want. This makes the Speedster a wing of
choice for competition pilots who need both speed and precision,
for high flights or for ground skimming.
Special attention has been made to the launching characteristics
of the Speedster. The inflation is smooth and constant in any wind
speed, and the wing comes up directly overhead without shooting
in high winds or lagging behind in no wind.
Although it is designed for pilots who fly mainly (if not exclusively)
under power, the Speedster performs excellently un-powered. The
sink rate is low enough to soar in light lift, thermal in all conditions
and the glide performance is good enough to fly cross country.
Both intermediate and advanced pilots will appreciate the charac-
teristics of the Speedster; easy launches, stable flight, high top
speed and Ozone’s trademark handling.
