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. Ozone guarantees all of its products against manufacturer’s defects or faults. Ozone

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 these 

areas you will be exposing yourself to more danger than is necessary. 

Respect the environment and look after your flying sites.

If you need to dispose the wing, do so in an environmentally responsible manner. Do not 

dispose of it with the normal household waste.

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 Speedster 2.

Flying in the Rain

Modern wings are susceptible to rain and moisture, flying with a wet wing can result in the 

loss of normal flight. 

 

Due  to  the  efficient,  wrinkle-free  design  of  the  sail,  water  tends  to  bead  on  the  leading 

edge causing flow separation. Flow separation will make the wing more prone to entering 

inadvertent parachutal stalls, so flying in the rain, or with a wet wing (e.g early morning dew) 

should be avoided at all costs.

 

If you are accidently caught-out in a rain shower, it is best to land immediately. If your wing 

becomes wet in the air it is advised to maintain accelerated flight using the speed bar and/

or releasing the trimmers, even during the final approach. DO NOT use big ears as a descent 

technique, big ears increases drag, and with a wet wing this will further increase the chances 

of a parachutal stall occurring. Instead, lose height with gentle 360’s and maintain your air 

speed at all times. If your wing enters parachutal stall when wet, immediately release the 

trimmers and accelerate the wing to regain airspeed.

IMPORTANT

Do not fly your wing 

when it is wet.
