MODIFICATIONS

When your glider leaves the factory, it is trimmed for the optimum balance
between performance, handling and safety. It should be noted that any modifica-
tion will mean that the glider loses any certification and will also probably be more
difficult to fly. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that modifications
should only be made after contacting OZONE directly.

TOWING

OZONE gliders may be tow-launched. It is the pilot's responsibility to ensure that
suitable harness attachments and release mechanisms are used and that she/he
is correctly trained on the equipment and system employed. All pilots involved in
towing should be qualified to do so and use a qualified tow operator with proper
equipment.
When towing you must be certain that the paraglider is completely over your head
before you start. A tow force greater than 90 kp is not allowed. In each case the
maximum tow force needs to correspond to the body weight of the pilot.
In summary, make sure all towing regulations are observed, the towing team is
suitably qualified and the correct equipment is used.
