Ozone SPYDER 3 - Spyder 3 Overview; Spyder 3 Introduction

YOUR SPYDER 3

The Spyder 3 is the lightweight version of the Roadster 3. It is a fun, safe and easy to use wing
specically aimed at the newly qualied but also suitable for a wide range of pilots from beginners
to the more experienced alike. Beginners under training and the newly qualied will appreciate
the impeccable launching characteristics and rock solid stability whilst experienced XC pilots will
appreciate its overall efciency, performance and agile handling.
The Spyder 3 incorporates the knowledge gained from the development of our lightweight paragliding
range along with the experience of our World Championship winning Paramotor design team. Made
from a hybrid mix of lightweight materials; strong and UV resistant Dominico N20D and long-
proven Porcher Skytex 27gr, the reduced weight allows for easier manoeuvring on the ground to
the preparation process easier and less tiring. Nil-wind ination is exceptional and it will remain
overhead in lighter winds than a standard weight wing, also the take-off speed is generally lower
requiring less engine power and a shorter runway to become airborne.
The Spyder 3 features the well-proven Shark Nose Ozone Reex Prole that has been developed
specically for powered ight. The reexed Shark Nose prole maintains a constant level of lift and
internal pressure over a wide range of angles of attack, this gives the Spyder 3 exceptional levels of
stability throughout the speed range. In turbulent air, even at low angles of attack it is very collapse
resistant, the reex prole absorbs turbulence and remains inated even without pilot input. At high
angles of attack the brake range is very forgiving so deep inputs can be made without the risk of
stall.
The Spyder 3 features a new internal structure designed to increases the strength and longevity
of the sail without adding weight. Further changes have been made to the twist of the wing and
overall line lengths to reduce the chances of inadvertent roll and the effects of engine torque whilst
improving the overall handling.
The risers feature long range trimmers; a foot operated speed system; tip steering system and fully
adjustable brake attachment points to suite different power units and pilot preferences.
Although designed for pilots who y mainly (if not exclusively) under power, the Spyder 3 also
performs excellently un-powered. The sink rate is low enough to soar in light lift, thermal in all
conditions and the glide performance is good enough to y XC.
