Confidence and belief in your paraglider is a far greater asset than any small gains in performance - ask any of the Ozone
pilots on your local hills, or those who have taken our gliders on ground-breaking adventures or stood on podiums around
the world. All our research and development is concentrated on creating the best handling/performance characteristics
possible with optimum security. Our development team is based in the south of France. This area - which includes the
sites of Gourdon, Monaco and Col de Bleyne - guarantees us more than 300 flyable days per year, this is a great asset
in the development of the Ozone range.
As pilots we fully understand just how big an investment a new paraglider is. We know that quality and value for money
are essential considerations when choosing a new wing, so to keep costs low and quality high we manufacture all of our
products in our own production facility. During production our wings undergo numerous rigorous quality control checks
that are fully traceable, this way we can guarantee that all of our paragliders meet the same high standards.
It is essential that you read this manual before flying your wing for the first time. The manual will help you get the most out
of your new wing, it details information about the design, tips and advice on how best to use it and how to care for your
wing to ensure it has a long life and retains a high resale value. For the latest updates, including all technical datas please

WARNING
• Paragliding/Paramotoring is a potentially dangerous sport that can cause serious injury including bodily
harm, paralysis and death.
• Flying an Ozone paraglider is undertaken with the full knowledge that paramotoring involves risks.
• As the owner of an Ozone paraglider you take exclusive responsibility for all risks associated with its use.
Inappropriate use and or abuse of your equipment will increase these risks.
• Ozone paragliders are only suitable for qualified pilots or those under instruction. This manual does not
replace proper instruction. Make sure you seek professional tuition and learn with a reputable school.
• Use only certified paragliders, harnesses with protector and reserve parachutes that are free from
modification, and use them only within their certified weight ranges. Please remember that flying a glider
outside its certified configuration may jeopardise any insurance (e.g. liability, life etc) you have.
• All pilots should have the appropriate level of license for their respective country and third party
insurance.
• Make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy before flying.
• Choose the correct wing, harness and conditions for your level of experience.
• Pay special attention to the terrain you will be flying and the weather conditions before you launch. If you
are unsure do not fly, and always add a large safety margin to all your decisions.
• Avoid flying your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, and turbulent weather conditions or clouds.
• Any liability claims resulting from use of this product towards the manufacturer, distributor or dealers

YOUR MOJO PWR 2
The Mojo PWR 2 is a truly versatile wing, ideal for those looking for a one-wing solution for both powered
and free flight. The all new design features many optimisations and updates: reduced sail drag, reinforced
and optimised line layout, reduced line consumption, newly-shaped wing tips for less roll and optimised cell
openings for impeccable launching behaviour and improved full speed performance. Internally, the wing has
been updated with a new structure and alignment of the rib holes for better structural stability and cohesion.
The risers feature trimmers for fast cruising, adjustable pulleys to adjust the brake line lengths depending on
your motor setup along with magnetic brake connectors.
Special attention has been made to the ground handling and inflation characteristics of the wing to make the
whole launching process easier, less stressful and ultimately safer. Setting up is easy; the risers are simple
and clean the wing inflates smoothly – without overshooting or hanging back – even in zero wind conditions.
In stronger winds it inflates progressively with less tendency to “shoot up” and pull the pilot off their feet.
In the air the Mojo PWR 2 is agile, stable and comfortable with a sporty feel. The increased top speed and
reduced tendency to oscillate improves the PPG experience when flown heavily loaded under power, and the
tight sporty feel though the brakes when in free flight mode makes it ideal for thermalling, ridge soaring and XC
flying. In active air the wing is compact and forgiving, it cuts through turbulence efficiently and is very resistant
to deflations. It delivers gentle, predictable feedback and filters air movements in an understandable way. At
full speed the leading edge remains solid allowing for a large usable speed range and high cruise speeds.
Brake pressure and brake precision have been further refined for improved handling – turns are easy to initiate,
and the wing maintains bank angles whilst thermalling with minimal input and a sporty dynamic feel.
The balance of performance, safety and strength is an important consideration for any new pilot, and the
Mojo PWR 2 combines EN A* rating with solidity, agility, low sink rate, and excellent glide performance that is
necessary for short take off and low fuel consumption during long XC flights.
The Mojo PWR 2 is a versatile crossover wing which excels in both free flying and powered flight. It is suitable
for students in all levels of training and also for the newly qualified who require an easy, safe and solid wing for
their first 100s hours of paramotor experience as well as paragliding ridge soaring, thermalling and XC flying.

The risers feature a foot operated speed system for easy, comfortable high speed cruising. They can be
used with the trimmers in any position to accelerate the wing.

LIMITATIONS
Pilot Suitability
The Mojo PWR 2 has been designed as a solo beginner/intermediate level wing. Due to it’s forgiving nature
it is also suitable for all levels of training. It is not intended for tandem flights nor aerobatic manoeuvres.
Certification
This wing has passed the criteria required by the DGAC and has been load tested to the EN 926.1
standard. In addition to our own extensive testing, the 24, 26 and 28 have also been independently flight
tested to the EN 926.2 standard with the use of the accelerator system, but with the trimmers set to the
slow position. The 22 and 30 are only DGAC recognised. Releasing the trimmers, or flying outside of the

loading also makes the wing more likely to remain neutral in a spiral dive, especially when combined with
a high hang point or trike power unit. Flying at the maximum recommended load is only suitable for more
experienced pilots who have the necessary skills to control a more dynamic wing. High G rapid descent
manoeuvres should be avoided if flying above the maximum recommended EN weight or when flying with
a trike or high hang point harness. We advise you to aim for near the top of the recommended EN weight
range for free flying and to never fly above Ozone’s recommended PPG weight range whilst under power.
07
Load test and wing loading information for PPG wings
To verify the structural strength of a paraglider or paramotor wing, the larger sizes of each model are
subjected to the EN 926.1 load test. This test is comprised of two parts; a static shock test, and a sustained
load test. First, using at least a 1000 kg weak link (higher for tandems) the wing must survive a brutal
static shock test without any visible signs of damage to the lines or sail. The same wing then performs
a sustained load test, inflated and pulled along a runway by a large truck until a three second average
value of 8G is achieved without breaking. 8G is the minimum accepted load factor for EN certification,
calculated by 8x the maximum permitted EN weight.
In addition to EN 926.1 our paramotor wings are also recognised by the DGAC, an entity responsible
for Microlight (ULM) and lightweight powered aircraft (Paramotor) certification in France. Using the EN
load test results, the DGAC accepts 5.25G as the maximum acceptable load factor. Both the 8G EN and
5.25G DGAC values, along with the recommended PG (free flight) and PPG (powered) weight ranges
are indicated in the specifications for your reference. We consider the DGAC load factor limit of 5.25G IMPORTANT

maximum EN weight
However, in our testing at Ozone we have recorded loads in excess of 5.25G during fully engaged, nose- range or when flying
down spiral dives, at all parts of the weight range. Theoretically, it should not be possible to break a wing with a trike or a high
whilst flying at the maximum PPG weight of the larger sizes (smaller wing sizes have an inherent safety hang point harness
margin due to the fact that the same number & type of lines carry a lower max weight), but when you
consider:
a) the natural weakening of lines with age;
b) the potential of accidentally damaged lines during normal use;
c) and that during a spiral dive or other aggressive acrobatic manoeuvre the load is not distributed as
evenly across the span as it is during a physical test;
there is significantly less structural safety margin in when flying close to the maximum DGAC weight. For
this reason, our recommendation to all PPG pilots when flying at high wing loadings (above the middle
of the recommended PPG weight range) is to not perform deeply engaged nose down, high-G spirals
and other aggressive aerobatic manoeuvres. Doing so poses a real risk of line failure with potentially fatal
consequences.

BASIC FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
Launching
Your Mojo PWR 2 will launch with either the forward or reverse launch techniques.
When taking off under power, make sure there is enough clear space upwind of you to launch and climb
out safely, avoiding trees, power lines and any other obstacles that may affect you should you have a IMPORTANT

forward otherwise the power of the motor will attempt to push you into the ground! When you have enough
airspeed a gentle application of brake will help you lift off. Do not stop running until your feet have left the
ground and you are sure of a safe climb out.
For faster inflation, especially in nil wind conditions you may release the trimmers by a few cms.
Do not pull down or push the risers forward excessively, or the leading edge will deform and possibly
collapse making taking-off more difficult and potentially dangerous.
Move smoothly throughout the entire launch, there is no need to rush or snatch at it. You should have
plenty of time to look up and check your canopy before committing yourself. Once you are happy that the
Mojo PWR 2 is inflated correctly, progressively apply full power and accelerate smoothly for the launch.
12
Reverse Launch -Light to Strong Winds
Lay out your Mojo PWR 2 as you would for the forward launch. However, this time face the wing, and
attach the risers in the correct manor (half a turn in each riser, and crossed in the direction you want to
turn). Now you can pull up the Mojo PWR 2 by its A-risers. Once the wing is overhead, brake it gently,
turn and launch.
In stronger winds, be prepared to take a few steps towards the glider as it inflates. This will take some of
the energy out of the glider and it will be less likely to over-fly you. Once stable and above your head apply
progressive power and accelerate smoothly for a controlled take off.
Practice ground handling and launching as much as possible! It is great fun, and will give you a much
better feel for your Mojo PWR 2’s flight characteristics. It will also improve your overall enjoyment of flying
by making your launches easier and safer.
The Mojo PWR 2 is well damped in roll but under certain circumstances it is possible for the pilot to induce
oscillations. This is caused by a combination of the engine/propeller torque and pilot weightshift and/or
brake inputs. To stop oscillations it is best to reduce the power slightly and ensure that you remain static
with weightshift and brake inputs. Once settled you can once again apply full power.
Under full power the torque effect will attempt to gently turn the wing, using weightshift or adjusting the
trims asymmetrically is the best method to correct this.
13
Turning
The handling characteristic of the Mojo PWR 2 is truly amazing. We have worked hard on tuning the wing
so that it turns tightly but also efficiently, as the ability to climb in a turn is very important for powered and
free flight, making the climb out fun and thermalling easy.
IMPORTANT
Never initiate a turn at

Normal Flight
Once at a safe height you can release the trimmers for a faster cruise speed. If your motor has enough
power, the Mojo PWR 2 will achieve very good straight line speeds whilst maintaining level flight at high
speeds.

By pulling the trimmers to the standard position and applying the brakes approximately 30cm, the Mojo
PWR 2 will achieve its best minimum-sink rate; this is the speed to use for thermalling and ridge soaring
whilst free flying.
14
Active Flying
In turbulent air the profile is stable. It will resist reasonable levels of turbulence without pilot input. However
in stronger turbulence Ozone recommends to return the trimmers to the standard position and fly the
glider actively. This way, you will be in the best position to react correctly should an incident occur.
IMPORTANT
The key elements of effective active flying are pitch control and pressure control: In turbulent air return
In turbulent air, if the glider pitches hard in front of you, use the brakes to slow it down. Equally, if the glider the glider to trim
drops behind you, release the brakes to allow it to speed up. speed - release the
speed bar or return
In severe turbulence, flying with a small amount of brake applied (approx. 20cm) will give you tension in the the trims to the slow
brakes and feedback from the wing. In turbulent conditions the internal pressure of the wing can change position
and you can feel this through the brakes. The aim is to maintain a constant pressure through the brakes.
If you feel a loss in pressure apply the brakes until normal pressure is resumed then raise hands back to
original position (this must be done quickly).
Avoid flying with continuous amounts of brake in rough air as you could inadvertently stall the wing. IMPORTANT
Always consider your airspeed. Always keep hold of
your brakes. Do not fly
No pilot and no glider are immune to collapses. In severe turbulence active flying will virtually eliminate in turbulent conditions
any tendency to collapse. When the conditions are very turbulent, be more active and anticipate the
movements of your wing. Always be aware of your altitude and do not over-react. We advise you to keep
hold of your brakes at all times and not to fly in turbulent conditions.
15
Landing
The Mojo PWR 2 shows no unusual landing characteristics. We recommend the trimmers be returned to
the normal slow position for landings. You can land un-powered or powered, here are some tips:
• Always set up your landing early, give yourself plenty of options and a safe margin for error and make
sure you are heading INTO wind.
• Once below 30 metres avoid turning tightly as the glider will have to dive to accelerate back to normal
flight.
• Allow the glider to fly with speed for your final descent until you are around 1 metre above the ground.
Apply the brakes slowly and progressively to slow the glider down until the glider stalls and you are
able to step onto the ground.
• It is safest to perform un-powered landings as this reduces the likelihood of propeller damage caused
by either falling over or allowing the lines to foul the prop. Turn off the engine at around 30m and glide
in like a normal paraglider.
• Powered landings offer the chance to power up and continue with the flight if you misjudge your final
approach, but can be more expensive if you get it wrong!
• Choose the appropriate approach style in function of the landing area and the conditions.
• In light winds you need a strong, long and progressive flare to bleed off all your excess ground
speed. In strong winds your forward speed is already low so you are flaring only to soften the landing.
A strong flare may result in the glider climbing upwards and backwards quickly, leaving you in a
vulnerable position.
• In strong winds you need to turn towards the glider the second your feet touch the ground. Once
facing the wing pull smoothly and symmetrically down on the brakes to stall the wing. If the glider
pulls you, run toward it.
• If the wind is very strong, and you feel you might be dragged, stall the glider with the C risers. This
stalls the Mojo PWR 2 in a very quick and controllable way and will drag you less than if you use the
brakes.
• Always land heading into wind!
16
RAPID DESCENT TECHNIQUES
Ozone would like to remind you that the following manoeuvres should be learnt under the supervision of
a qualified instructor and always used with caution. Never forget that properly analysing the conditions
before launch will help avoid the need to use these techniques. Only ever perform these manoeuvres with
the trimmers set to the slow position.
Big Ears
Folding in the wingtips increases the sink rate without radically changing the airspeed. This is useful for
staying out of cloud or descending quickly through the lift band of the hill, for example when top landing.
To pull big ears, keep hold of your brake handles and take the outermost A-line on each side, then pull out
and down (preferably one at a time) until the wingtips fold under. The Outer A line is attached to the Baby
A riser, making identification and use of the big ear system easier. The size of the big ears can be adjusted
by pulling more line, or reaching higher up the line. For directional control while using the Big Ears, you
should use weight shift. To reopen the ears, release both A lines at the same time. To help reinflation,
brake gently one side at a time until tips regain pressure. Avoid deep symmetric applications of the brake
as this could accidently induce parachutal or full stalls.
You may use Big ears for the final landing approach but they should be released before making the final
flare. Ozone advise to not use this technique in turbulent or windy conditions due to the reduced ability to NEVER induce Big
fly actively and the risk of an inadvertent stall whilst descending through the wind gradient. Ears in accelerated
flight, this can lead
Once the big ears are engaged you can further increase the sink rate by pushing on the accelerator bar, to a major deflation.

Whilst it is possible to enter a spiral dive whilst holding in Big Ears, the high forces applied to the lower
lines could exceed the breaking strain of the lines leading to equipment failure!
Ozone strongly recommend to NOT perform Spiral Dives with Big Ears engaged.
17
B-Line Stall
B-stall is for fast descents in emergency situations only. It is faster and safer to lose altitude with a spiral
dive than a B-stall. IMPORTANT
The pitching movement

from spiralling, the glider will then start to resume normal flight. Never attempt to recover from a spiral with
hard or quick opposite inputs as this will result in an aggressive climb and surge.
To fly with the C risers, keep hold of your brake handles (remove any wraps) and take hold of the C risers.
With the C risers you can fly actively through turbulence; If you see or feel the leading edge lose pressure,
at the same time as releasing some or all of the accelerator you can also apply pressure to the C’s, this
will help keep the nose open. Be careful to use only small inputs with the C risers, you risk stalling part or
all of the wing if you are over enthusiastic. The amount of pressure and size of the input is dependent on
the amount of turbulence/loss of pressure, but always be gentle at first. Learn the feel of the wing - how
much speed bar to release and the force required on the C’s to keep the nose open without inducing
unnecessarily large pitch movements.
Be prepared for plenty of practice as this new method may take some time for it to become totally intuitive,
efficient and comfortable. This control method is suitable for gliding in good ‘normal’ air, it does not
replace proper active flying with the brakes in strong turbulent conditions. If you are unsure about the air
return the glider to trim speed, release the C risers and fly the glider actively with the brakes.
19
INCIDENTS IN FLIGHT
Deflations
Due to the flexible form of a paraglider, turbulence may cause a portion of the wing suddenly to collapse.
This can be anything from a small 30% (asymmetric) collapse to a complete (symmetric) collapse.
WARNING
If you have a collapse, the first thing to do is to control your direction. You should fly away from the ground Uncoordinated
or obstacles and other pilots. Asymmetric collapses should be controlled by weight shifting away from the wingovers can lead

means the glider will spin or stall with less brake input than normal. In your efforts to stop the glider turning near the ground.
towards the collapsed side of the wing you must be very careful not to stall the side of the wing that is still
flying. If you are unable to stop the glider turning without exceeding the stall point then allow the glider to
turn whilst you reinflate the collapse.
If you have a deflation which does not spontaneously reinflate, make a long smooth progressive pump
on the deflated side. This pumping action should take about 1-2 seconds per pump. Pumping too short
and fast will not reinflate the wing and pumping too slow might take the glider close to, or beyond, the
stall point.
Symmetrical collapses reinflate without pilot input, however 15 to 20cm of brake applied symmetrically will
speed the process. After a symmetric collapse always consider your airspeed. Make sure the glider is not
in parachutal stall before making any further inputs.
If your Mojo PWR 2 collapses in accelerated flight, immediately release the accelerator and manage the
collapse using the same methods described above. Return the trimmers to the neutral position as soon
as possible to aide reinflation.
20
Cravats
If the tip of your wing gets stuck in the lines, this is called a ‘cravat’. This can make your glider go into
a spiral, which is difficult to control. The first solution to get out of this situation is to stabilise the glider
into normal flight, i.e get control of your direction and then pull down the stabilo line (CR4 - green line
on the C riser) until the wing tip clears. You must be careful with any brake inputs or you may stall the
opposite wing. You can also use strong deep pumps of the brake on the cravated side, when doing so it
is important to lean away from the cravat otherwise you risk spinning or deepening the spiral. The aim is
to empty the air out of the wing tip, but without spinning. Correctly done, this action will clear the cravat.
If it is a very large cravat and the above options have not worked then a full stall is another option. This
should not be attempted unless you have been taught how to do it and can only be done with a large
amount of altitude. Remember if the rotation is accelerating and you are unable to control it, you should
throw your reserve parachute whilst you still have enough altitude.
Do not fly in rain, doing so significantly increases the likelihood of parachutal stalls occurring. To reduce IMPORTANT
the chance of stalling in rain avoid using deep brake movements or Big Ears. Find a safe area to land and Never fly in the rain or

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 an Ozone Saucisse or Saucisse light pack will help preserve the life of the wing
and aid with the speed and ease of packing.
22
Step 4. Group together the middle/trailing
edge of the wing by sorting the folds near
the B, C and D tabs.
If using a Saucisse pack go to Step 8.
Step 7. Now place the folded wing into the stuff sack.
23
Step 8. If using the Saucisse Pack, carefully
zip it up without trapping any material.
Step 9. Turn the Saucisse on its side and make the first
fold just after the LE reinforcements. Do not fold the plastic
reinforcements, use 3 or 4 folds around the LE.
24
Caring Tips
Careless ground handling damages many paragliders. Here are some things to avoid in order to prolong
the life of your aircraft:
• DO NOT drag your wing along the ground to another take-off position - this damages the sailcloth. Lift
it up and carry it.
• DO NOT try to open your wing in strong winds without untangling the lines first - this puts unnecessary
strain on the lines.
• DO NOT walk on the wing or lines.
• DO NOT repeatedly inflate the glider and then allow it to crash back down. Try to keep this movement
as smooth as possible by moving towards the glider as it comes down.
• DO NOT slam your glider down on the ground leading edge first! This impact puts great strain on the
wing and stitching and can even explode cells.
• FLYING in salty air, in areas with abrasive surfaces (sand, rocks etc.) and ground handling in strong
winds will accelerate the aging process.
• DO NOT fly in the rain or expose the wing to moisture.
• DO NOT expose the wing to unnecessary UV. Pack away once you have finished flying. Do not leave it
sitting in the sun.
• If you fly with a wrap, you should regularly undo the twisting that appears on the main brake lines. By
twisting the line become shorter and you can end up with a constant tension on the trailing edge (which
can lead to problem on launch, stalling, glider not flying symmetrically, ...)
• Change your main brake lines if they are damaged.
• Be Careful when groundhandling to not saw the brake lines against the risers or main lines. The abrasion
caused by a sawing motion can damage the main lines and lead to premature ageing of the risers. If you
notice any signs of abrasion, especially to the lines, make sure you get the wing professionally serviced
and importantly modify your groundhandling technique to stop any further damage.
• Your Ozone wing has an opening closed using Velcro on the trailing edge of the tip called the ‘Butt hole’.
This has been designed to easily empty all the things which have been accumulating in your wing (sand,
leaves, rocks, mobile phones etc).
25
Storage and Transport
Always store all your flying equipment in a dry room, protected from direct heat. Your wing should be dry
before being packed away. Moisture, heat and humidity are the worst elements for damaging your glider.
Storing a damp glider in your car under the sun would be terrible for example.
IMPORTANT
If you land in salt water, you must first rinse it thoroughly with clean fresh water. Dry the wing completely, Never pack away or
preferably out of the sun, in the wind. Never use a hair dryer, etc. store your glider wet.
Take care that no insects get packed away with the wing. They may eat the cloth and make holes in a bid
to escape. They can also leave acidic deposits if they die and decompose.
Transport the wing in the supplied bags and keep away from oils, paints, chemicals, detergents etc.
Cleaning
Any kind of wiping/scratching can damage the coating of the cloth. We recommend to not clean the wing, IMPORTANT
but if you do have to, use a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of water and use gentle movements Never use detergent or
little by little across the surface. chemical cleaners.
Wing Repairs
Always let a registered dealer, professional repair centre or the manufacturer carry out any major or
complex repairs, especially those near seam margins.
If you damage the sail:
If the rip is small and in the middle of a panel however you can fix it yourself. You’ll find all the materials
in the repair kit you need. The fabric can be simply mended with the sticky rip stop/spinnaker tape. When
cutting out the patches allow ample overlap of the tear and make sure both sides are different sizes. Make
sure to round off each corner of the patches.
26
It is important that replacement lines are made from the correct materials and diameters. You should
check lengths against their counterpart on the other side of the wing to make ensure symmetry. Once the
line has been replaced, inflate and check the glider before flying.
Maintenance Checks
Your wing, like a car, should be technically checked to ensure proper airworthiness. Your wing should be
checked by a qualified professional for the first time after 24 months, or after 100 hours. However, if you
are a frequent flyer (more than 100 hrs per year), then we recommend, that you get your glider checked
annually. The checker should inform you about the condition of your glider and if some parts will need to
be checked or changed before the next normal service check period.
The sail and the lines do not age in the same way or at the same rate; it is possible that you may have to
change part or all of the lines during the wing’s life. For this reason it is important to do regular inspections
so that you know the exact condition of all of the components of your glider. We recommend that
inspections are carried out by a qualified professional.
You alone are responsible for your flying kit and your safety depends on it. Take care of your equipment
and have it regularly inspected. Changes in inflation/groundhandling/flying behaviour indicates the gliders
aging, if you notice any changes you should have the wing checked before flying again. These are the
basic elements of the check up (full details and permissible figures can be found on our website):
Porosity is measured with a porosity meter, the time taken by a certain volume of air to go through a
certain surface of the cloth. The time in seconds is the result. A measurement is done in a several places
on the top surface along the span of the glider behind the leading edge.

Strength of the lines - An upper, middle and lower A line, along with a lower B and a lower C (and lower
D if applicable) line should be tested for strength. Each line is tested to breaking point and the value
recorded. The minimum value is 14 G for all lines, calculated from the maximum certified flying weight of
the glider. The added minimum strength for the middle lines and for the top lines should be the same. If

Canopy check - A full visual check should be carried out: All the components of the wing (stitching, ribs,
diagonals, lines, tabs etc) should be checked for signs of deterioration.
Finally, a test flight to confirm that the wing behaves normally should be carried out by a professional.

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.
Every year many pilots get hurt launching; don’t be one of them. Launching is the time that you are most
exposed to danger so practice it lots. Some launch sites are small and difficult and conditions aren’t
always perfect. If you’re good at ground handling you’ll be able to launch confidently and safely whilst
others struggle. Practice as much as you can, you’ll be less likely to get hurt and more likely to have a
great day flying.
Always 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.
