The Triox has been designed specifically for powered trike flying. Compatible with all types of
trike power units from the lightest to the very heaviest, the Triox is a versatile and reliable
wing offering a stable and fast platform with easy launch and landing characteristics.
The Triox inflates easily in all wind conditions without overshooting. The Trike launch assist
system further aids the inflation process, leaving your hands free to control the brakes and
throttle. The landing characteristics are also very good thanks to the excellent flair authority
through the brakes. The easy, forgiving nature helps remove the stress from launches and
landings allowing you to concentrate more on the flying.
In the air the Triox handles well with a progressive, direct feel through the brakes. Turns are
smooth and coordinated without the tendency to dive but it retains the fun and agility that
Ozone wings have become renowned for. Feedback from the wing has been tuned for comfort,
filtering out unnecessary movements and information so the pilot and passenger can enjoy the
ride. The high levels of glide and climb efficiency, thanks to the high performance profile, high
aspect ratio and low total line drag gives greater autonomy from a full tank of fuel and makes
the Triox suitable for XC flying adventures.
The Triox features a customised Shark Nose Ozone Reflex Profile (OZRP) tuned specifically
for powered flight. The Shark nose profile maintains a constant level so of lift and internal
pressure over a wide range of angles of attack. This gives the Triox increased levels of stability
whilst accelerated, not only is it very collapse resistant in turbulent air, it is also very resistant
to stalls, even with deep inputs at low speeds.
The risers have been especially designed for trike flying, the short risers feature TST handles
for high speed manoeuvrability; adjustable magnetic brake positions and adjustable long
range trimmers for fast cruise speeds.
Certified DGAC and EN load tested to 411kgs and available in 2 sizes, the Triox accommodates
a wide range of power units and wing loadings. It is suitable for both solo and tandem trike
flying and thanks to the easy launch and flight characteristics is suitable for a wide range
of pilots from professionals to recreation pilots alike. Overall it is intuitive to fly and a very
predictable – a dependable trike wing that is designed to last many seasons.
The updated risers feature long range trimmers; strong brake handle magnets; tip steering
system (TST); fully adjustable brake pulley height settings; special brake handles; double
launch assist system attachment points and coloured A risers for easy identification. See
page 30.
Trimmers
The Triox is supplied with long range trimmers that are fully adjustable in the air to suite the
conditions, phase of flight and wing loading. The trimmers have four rows of stitching; a lower
red line and an upper red line with two rows of white stitching in between.
The slowest trim setting - with the trimmers pulled all the way, gives the maximum climb rate
and is recommended for when climbing under power but not near the ground, ridge soaring
or thermalling, the brake pressure is at its lightest and the handling at its best. It is also the
recommended position for when the air becomes turbulent and active flying is necessary. At
this setting the reactions to collapses is at its most benign.
The first (lowest) red line is the recommended position for the take off phase as it offers the
best compromise between inflation behaviour and take-off speed. Launching at this setting is
especially effective in light winds and/or at high altitudes.
Upper red line is the limit at which it is suitable to use the brakes for directional control
without significantly affecting the stability of the wing. When flying faster than the upper red
line position, directional control MUST be made using the TST system. Using the brakes fully
accelerated compromises the stability of the wing and increases the chances of a collapse
occurring.
The white stitching lines act as a reference for symmetry and reduce the chances of the
trimmers slipping in flight. They do not indicate any specific flight speed.
IMPORTANT
In thermic or turbulent
air it is recommended
pull the trimmers to
the slowest position or
at least to the lower
red stitch line and fly
the glider actively.
IMPORTANT
When accelerated
faster than the upper
red line position,
directional control
should be maintained
using the TST system.
DO NOT use the
brakes when fully
accelerated.
