At Ozone we take the quality of our products very seriously, all our
gliders are made to the highest standards in our own manufacturing
facility. Every glider manufactured goes through a stringent series of
quality control procedures and all the components used to build your
glider are traceable. We always welcome customer feedback and
are committed to customer service. We will always undertake to fix
problems not caused by general wear and tear or inappropriate use.
If you have a problem with your glider please contact your dealer/dis-
tributor who will be able to decide upon the most appropriate action.

SUMMARY
Safety is paramount in our sport. To be safe, we must be trained,
practised and alert to the dangers around us. To achieve this we
must fly as regularly as we can, ground handle as much as possible
and take a continuous interest in the weather. If you are lacking in
any of those areas you will be exposing yourself to more danger than
is necessary.
Flying is an immense subject which takes years to learn, so let your
experience build slowly, don't put pressure on yourself, you have
plenty of time to learn as many people fly well into old age. If condi-
tions aren't good now then pack up and go home, there is always
tomorrow.
Don't overestimate your abilities, be honest with yourself. As the
wise saying goes, 'it is better to be on the ground wishing you were
in the air, than to be in the air wishing you were on the ground'.
Every year many pilots get hurt launching; don't be one of them.
Launching is the time that you are most exposed to danger so prac-
tice it lots. Some launch sites are small and difficult and conditions
aren't always perfect. If you're good at ground handling you'll be able
to confidently and safely launch whilst others struggle. You'll be less
likely to get hurt and more likely to have a great day's flying.
Ground handling is also a form of flying. It teaches you to be sensi-
tive to your glider and to understand the feedback it sends you, so
practice as much as you can.
Finally, RESPECT the weather, it has more power than you can ever
imagine. Understand what conditions are right for your level of flying
and stay within that window.
Happy flying & enjoy your Octane FLX.
