Speed System - Ozone Enzo2 Bedienungsanleitung

Reverse Launch - Light to Strong Winds
Lay out your wing as you would for the forward launch. However, this
time turn to face it, Lean backwards and smoothly inflate the glider
using your body weight and the A-risers. Be ready to apply the brakes
if the glider tries to overshoot you.
In stronger winds, take a few steps towards the glider as it inflates.
This will take some of the energy out of the wing and it will be less
likely to overfly you or pull you off the ground. The reverse-launch
technique can also be used in surprisingly light winds.
IMPORTANT: Never take off with a glider that is not fully
inflated or if you are not in control of the pitch/roll of your
wing.
Turning
The Enzo 2 has relatively light brake pressure and is very responsive
to inputs. To familiarise yourself with the new wing your first turns
should be gradual and progressive. Application of too much brake will
cause excessive roll and dive in the turn, which is inefficient, or may
cause the wing to spin.

Speed System

For better penetration in headwinds and improved glide performance
in sinking air, crosswinds or headwinds, you should fly faster than
trim speed by using the accelerator system. Using up to half bar
does not degrade the glide angle or stability significantly and will im-
prove your flying performance. To accelerate, first make sure that you
have no brake applied (remove any wraps from the brakes) and take
hold of the B risers. Apply the speed bar smoothly and progressively,
this avoids a sudden change in pitch/AofA and allows the wing to
accelerate efficiently. Feel the wing with the B risers and use active
control with a combination of the speed system and the B risers (see
below).
At full speed the Enzo 2 is fast but has less inherent stability; only
use maximum speed in very calm air conditions and always fly actively
with the B risers/speed bar.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your brakes to fly actively in
turbulent air whilst accelerated, doing so will actually make
the wing more prone to collapse.
IMPORTANT: Regulate your speed depending on the local
airmass. If it becomes turbulent, release the speed system
and fly actively with your brakes or B risers.
Active Flying
To reduce the frequency of collapses in turbulent conditions, it is
essential to use active flying. The aim of active flying is to control
the pitch and internal pressure of the wing. This can be done with
the brakes or the B risers (see below), but in very turbulent air, we
recommend to use the brakes.
In turbulent air, fly with the brakes applied (approx. 20cm), this will
give you the necessary feedback which is vital to keep the wing open.
It is also important to look at your wing as this gives a direct indica-
tion of its internal pressure and likelihood of collapse. Inputs can be
symmetric or asymmetric; you may have to apply both brakes or just
one to maintain equal pressure across the span/chord of the wing.
Avoid flying with continuous amounts of deep brake in rough air as
you could inadvertently stall the wing. Always consider your airspeed.
IMPORTANT: No pilot and no glider are immune to collapses
however active flying reduces any tendency to collapse.
When the conditions are turbulent, be more active and
anticipate the movements of your wing. Always be aware
of your altitude and do not over-react. We advise you to
always keep hold of your brakes and to not fly in very tur-
bulent conditions.
