Ozone Rush 4 - CARING FOR YOUR WING

12
IMPORTANT: Only a few cms of input from your brakes can
maintain your wing in the stall. Always release your wraps
if you have taken them!
IMPORTANT: Do not y in rain, doing so signicantly in-
creases the likelihood of parachutal stalls occurring. To
reduce the chance of stalling in rain avoid using deep brake
movements or Big Ears. Find a safe area to land and using
the speed bar, maintain a good airspeed at all times.
ACROBATIC / SIV FLYING
The Rush 4 has been designed as an intermediate XC wing and is not
intended for aerobatic manoeuvres.
A specific standard of certification for aerobatic flying has not been
set up yet. Ozone wings although designed to the highest specifica-
tions are, therefore, not certified for this type of flying. As Aerobatic
manoeuvres are very difficult and incorrectly performed manouvers
can put abnormal stresses on the glider and lead to loss of pilot
control,
Ozone strongly recommends to not undertake this style of
ying.
The wing was certified without the use of collapse lines and there-
fore can be used for SIV as normal. We strongly recommend expert
tuition over water with all the necessary safety precautions in place.
Ensure that you fully understand the correct and safe use of this
equipment before attempting SIV.
CARING FOR YOUR WING
Packing
To prolong the life of your wing and to keep the plastic reinforcements
in the best possible condition it is very important to pack the wing
carefully.
Ozone recommends to use the concertina packing method exactly
as shown so that all of the cells rest alongside each other and the
plastic reinforcements are not unnecessarily bent. Using the Ozone
Saucisse pack will help preserve the life of the wing and aid with the
speed and ease of packing.
Step 1 Lay mushroomed wing on the
ground or the Saucisse pack. It is best to
start from the mushroomed position as
this reduces the dragging of the leading
edge across the ground.
Step 2 Group Leading Edge (LE) plastic reinforce-
ments with the A tabs
roughly aligned, make sure
the plastic reinforcements
lay side by side.
Step 3 Strap LE...Note the glider is
NOT folded in half; it is folded with a
complete concertina from tip to tip.
It is really important to not stress
the middle cell or bend the plastic too
tightly.
