Brake Lines - Ozone Viper 2 Betriebs-Handbuch

YOUR VIPER 2
The Champion's wing. The Viper 2 is the highest performance
competitve paramotor wing available. This is the wing of choice for
serious paramotor pilots who need speed, sink rate, handling and
stability.
The Ozone Viper 2 features a customized Ozone Reflex Profile
(OZRP) that has been tuned specifically for powered flight. The
OZRP gives the Viper 2 stability at high speed and collapse resis-
tance in turbulent air.
This special airfoil design provides a wider range of angles of
attack. When you apply speed-bar or fly with the glider acceler-
ated at a lower angle of attack, the RP takes effect and provides
continuous lift and heightened stability.
Through carefully moderating the shape and amount of camber
in the OZRP, we have found a balance that provides increased lift
at extreme angles of attack, while still retaining excellent launch
characteristics and stall resistance, two crucial aspects in motor
wings.
The Viper 2 was created for experienced paramotor pilots, who
excel in XC distance flying, ground skimming and competitive task
flying. The Viper 2 is for paramotor pilots who want top perfor-
mance with a reassuring amount of stability and a high cruis-
ing speed. The Viper 2's OZRP Technology (Ozone Reflex Profile)
means that it is more stable in accelerated flight than a normal
free-flight wing.
The Viper 2 can also be flown without a motor. Its sink rate is low
enough to soar in light lift, thermal in all conditions, and fly cross
country. Although it is designed for pilots who fly the majority of
time (if not exclusively) under power, the Viper 2 performs excel-
lently unpowered.
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 be-
ing comfortable for hiking. We've also added some pockets on the
side and on the top, handy for all those easily lost accessories.

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 Viper 2 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.
