Ozone SPYDER 3 - Pre-Flight Preparation

PREPARATION
08
Accelerator System
To set up the accelerator on the ground, ask a friend to pull your risers into their in-ight
position while you sit in your harness. Now adjust the length of the line so that the main bar
sits just beneath your seat. You should now be able to hook your heel in to the secondary
(lower) loop of the accelerator.
The accelerator must be slack enough to ensure that the front risers are not pulled down in
normal ight, but not so long that it is impossible to use the full range of the speed system.
Ensure that the speed bar is secured in place before take off to avoid fouling the prop. Once
set up, test the full range of the speed system in calm ying conditions: ensure that both
risers are pulled evenly during operation. Fine-tuning can be completed when you are back
on the ground.
Harness and Motor
It will be in your harness that you will enjoy ying. Therefore, we recommend you spend the
time on the ground to adjust your harness’ different settings. Hang from a solid beam and
double check that you are comfortable and that you can reach the brake handles, tip steering
handles and that you can achieve the full range of speed bar travel before ying.
The Spyder 3 is suitable for all types of motor. There are many different motor units available
and it is vitally important that you choose one that is suitable for your needs, weight and skill
level. We recommend using units with low hang points or Goose neck systems. Using power
units with high hang points is possible, but it will have a detrimental effect on the behaviour
of the wing especially during spiral dives with an increased risk of neutrality.
IMPORTANT
The wing has been
tested with dened
harness dimensions.
The 28, 26 and 24
were certied with
hangpoint width
between 44-48cm.
