Brake Lines - Ozone roadster Bedienungsanleitung

YOUR ROADSTER
After two years of testing, countless prototypes, and hundreds of hours test flying, the
Roadster was born. Our aim was to produce a paramotor wing offering a large speed
range, Ozone handling, easy inflation and a high resistance to collapse.
The Ozone Roadster features a customized Ozone Reflex Profile (OZRP) that has
been tuned specifically for powered flight. The OZRP gives the Roadster stability at
high speed and collapse resistance in turbulent air. This special airfoil design provides
constant lift in a wider range of angles of attack. When you apply speed-bar or fly with
the glider accelerated 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 curve 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 Roadster was created for a wide range of intermediate paramotor pilots, ranging
from XC distance fliers to ground skimmers and adventure pilots. It is a paramotor
specific glider, with characteristics similar to the Viper (World Champion competition
wing) but with an overall much higher ease of use. The Roadster is for paramotor pilots
who want a reassuring amount of stability and a good cruising speed. The Roadster's
OZRP Technology (Ozone Reflex Profile) means that it is more stable in accelerated
flight than a normal free-flight wing.
Special attention was paid to the launching characteristics of the Roadster. 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, all of which
means that your time will be spent enjoying your flight, not struggling with your launch.
The Roadster 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 mainly (if not exclusively) under power, the Roadster performs excellently
un-powered as well.
Intermediate and Advanced pilots will appreciate the easy launches, stable flight,
'Ozone' handling and the high top speed of this wing, which is designed to allow you
to enjoy your flying without worrying about your wing.
Bag
The bag has been redesigned to be comfortable and useful (padded 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. 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 system.
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) for directional control.
Risers
The Roadster 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 RED. 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 are BLUE
The C's and D's are BLACK
There are two hang point positions; a lower one and higher one. Ozone recommends
using the lower hang point for free flight and low hang point motors and the upper one
for powered flight using a high-hang point motor harness (to help reduce the distance
to the brakes). Ensure both risers are connected to your harness correctly using the
same hang points.
Trimmers
The Roadster is supplied with a trim riser set as standard. The trims should be set at
the normal position (i.e trims pulled down so that all risers are the same length) for take
off and landing. The normal trim setting is ideal for climbing under power and whilst
thermalling. Brake pressure is lighter and the handling at its best on the slower speed
trim setting. During straight flight the trims can be released for an increased cruise
speed; perfect for maintaining height and speed. Using the trims affects the amount of
reflex in the wing, by releasing the trims the reflex is increased creating a faster, more
stable aerofoil. However in strong turbulence we recommend returning the trims to the
normal position (pulled down) and flying the glider actively.
