Rucksack
Asstandard,yourwingissuppliedwithaspeciallydesignedbagthatislightandcomfortable.Itfeatures
apaddedhip belt, ergonomicadjustable shoulder strapsandextra pockets tostore keys, accessories
andallthoseextrabits.Itslargevolumeallowsyoutostoreallofyourequipmentwhilstdistributingthe
weightforcomfortable hiking.Wehavealargerangeofbagsandyoucan choosefromanyofthemat
thetimeoforder.
Brake Lines
Thebrakelinelengthshavebeensetcarefullyduringtesting.Wefeelitisbettertohaveslightlylongbrake
linesandtoywithawrap(oneturnofthehandlearoundthehand).However,ifyoudochoosetoadjust
theirlengthpleasekeepinmindthefollowing:
•Ensurebothmainbrakelinesareofequallength.
•Ifabrakehandlehasbeenremoved,checkthatitslineisroutedthroughthepulleywhenitisreplaced.
•Whenthebrakesarefullyreleasedinight,thebrakelinesshouldbeslack.Theremustbeasubstantial
bowinthemtoguaranteenodeformationofthetrailingedgewhenaccelerated.
•Theremustbeaminimumof5-10cmoffreeplaybeforethebrakesbegintodeformthetrailingedge.
Thispreventsthetrailingedgefrombeingdeformedwhenusingthespeedsystem.
Risers
TheRush5hasbeendesignedwith3risersperside.TheArisersarecoveredwithcolouredwebbingfor
easyidenticationandsplitintotwo-thesmallerriser,holdingonlytheoutermostAline,isforaneasier
applicationofbigears.
Therisersfeatureattachmentsforafootoperatedacceleratorsystem,theydonotfeaturetrimmersorany
otheradjustabledevices.
IMPORTANT
In the unlikely
event of a brake line
snapping in ight, or
a handle becoming
detached, the glider
can be own by
gently pulling the rear
risers (C-risers) for
directional control.
TheRush5representsthelatestgenerationofhighperformancesportsintermediatewings.Ourmission
was to maximise glide ratio and minimum sink rate performance whilst retaining the fun and solidity
the Rush series has become renowned for. Following our True Performance design philosophy and
incorporatingEnzo3,ZenoandDelta3technology,alongwithseveralnewinnovativefeatures,theRush
5staysatthetopofitsclass.
Hundreds of hours test ying in real air and turbulent conditions have gone into the development of
theRush 5, ensuring the wing satises ourown demanding requirements – real, usable performance
in turbulent air throughout the speed range. The R&D team focused on the structural integrity of the
wingtoensure an evenmoresolid,compactandcondenceinspiringglidercomparedtotheRush4.
Theaddedstructuralsoliditynotonlymakesthewingmorecomfortableandfuntoy,italsoImproves
performanceinturbulentconditions. Aspect Ratiohasbeenmaintainedat a moderateleveltoensure
easeofuse,funandhighlevelsofpassivesafety.Gainsinperformancehavebeenmadeelsewherewith
furtheroptimisationsofthelinelayouttoreduceoveralllinedragandnextgenerationtriple3Dshaping
foraclean,wrinklefreeleadingedge.TheleadingedgefeaturesinnovativeOpeningStrapswhichhelp
maintaintheshapeofthecellopeningsduringacceleratedight,reducingutterandtheassociateddrag
itcreates.Modicationstotheshapingofthepanelsandconstructionofthetrailingedgeminiribshave
alsocontributedtofurtherreductionsinparasiticdrag.TheRush5featuresanewoptimisedSharkNose
prole,notonlydoesthisaddstability,comfortandperformance,italsoaddsaforgivenesstothebrake
range–thewingisextremelyresistanttoaccidentalspinorstall.
TheR&Dteamspentalotoftimeconcentratingonthehandling,optimisingthewaythewingfeelsand
turns.Wewantedawingwithadirectlinearprogressionintherstpartofthebrakerangewhilstbeing
responsiveandforgivinginthesecondpart.Thischaracteristicmakesthewingextremelyefcientinthe
climb,atturnswithminimalamountsofbrakeinputallowsthewingtoclimbwellinlighterliftwhilstthe
responsivenessinthesecondpartenablesthewingtoreactinstantlytocommandsmakingiteasierand
morepleasurabletomaintainrollandbankanglesinthestrongercores.
Combiningsporty,dynamichandling,greattopspeedandhighlevelsofpassivesafetyinacomfortable
and accessible package makes the Rush 5 suitable for a wide range of pilots. Although certied EN

Total Weight in flight
EachOzonegliderhasbeendesignedandcertiedforadenedweightrange.Westronglyrecommend
thatyourespectthese weight ranges.Ifyou are betweensizesthefollowing information mayhelpyou
makeadecisionastowhichsizetobuy:
•Forthemostpreciseanddynamichandlingorifyougenerallyyinmountainsand/orinstrong
conditions,youshouldchosetoyinthetoppartoftheweightrange.
•Ifyouwantabettersinkrate,orifyougenerallyyinatlandsand/orinweakconditions,youmay
choosetoynearerthemiddlepartoftheweightrange.Remember,youcanalwaysaddballastfor
whenconditionsarestronger.
•Itisnotrecommendedtoyattheverybottomoftheweightrange.
Towing
TheRush5maybetow-launched.Itisthepilot’sresponsibilitytousesuitableharnessattachmentsand
releasemechanismsandtoensurethattheyarecorrectlytrainedontheequipmentandsystememployed.
Alltowpilotsshouldbequaliedtotow,useaqualiedtowoperatorwithproper,certiedequipment,and
makesurealltowingregulationsareobserved.
Whentowingyoumustbecertainthattheparaglideriscompletelyoveryourheadbeforeyoustart.Ineach
casethemaximumtowforceneedstocorrespondtothebodyweightofthepilot.
Limitations
The Rush 5 has been designed as a solo sports intermediate XC wing and shows no unusual ying
characteristics.Turnsare smooth andcoordinated,it has averyhigh resistance tobothcollapsesand
stallswhilstremainingsolidandwell-pressuredthroughoutthespeedrange.
The Rush 5 is suitable for intermediate pilots who y at least 50hrs per year and who have previous
SIV experience. It is NOT intended for beginner or inexperienced pilots, tandem ights or aerobatic
manoeuvres.
IMPORTANT
Using the accelerator
decreases the angle
of attack and makes
the wing more prone
to collapse, therefore
using the accelerator
near the ground or in
turbulent conditions
should be avoided.
Accelerator System
Tosetuptheacceleratorsystem,rstroutethelinessuppliedwiththespeedsystemthroughtheharness.
Makesurethis isdonecorrectly and thatthe lines passthrough all ofthepulleys (checkyourharness
manualforinstructions).Attachthe speed system lines to theacceleratorsystemontheriserswiththe
Brummelhooks.
Abasic set-up can be performed on the ground: ask a friend to pullthe risers tightinto their in-ight
positionwhilstyousitintheharnessontheground.Nowadjustthelengthsofthelinessothatthemain
barsitsjustbeneathyourseat.Youshouldbeabletohookyourheelintothelowerloopoftheaccelerator.
TheremustbeenoughslackinthespeedsystemtoensuretheArisersarenotinadvertentlypulledduring
normaltrimspeedight,butnotsolongthatitisimpossibletousethefullspeedrangeoftheglider.Fully
extendingthelowerloopofthespeedbar willacceleratethewingtoapproximatelyhalfitsaccelerated
speedrange.Forfullspeed,hookyourheelsontotheupperbarandsmoothlyextendyourlegs,maximum
speed is when the pulleys on the risers overlap. Once set up, test the full range of the accelerator in
calmyingconditionsandensurethatbothrisersarepulledevenlyduringoperation.Fine-tuningcanbe
completedwhenyouarebackontheground.
Harness
Itisimportanttosetupyourharnesscorrectlybeforeyingthewing.Makesuretospendtimeadjusting
yourharness’sdifferentsettingsuntilyouarecompletelycomfortable.Werecommendthatthecheststrap
issetbetween 44cm and 48cm(betweenthecentreofthehangpoints).XS/Ssizesarecertiedwitha
cheststrapsettoaround42cm,theMS/MLbetween44-46cm,andtheL/XLbetween46-48cm.Donoty
withacheststrapsettingtootight(below42cm)ortoowide(above48cm)asthiswillaffectthebehaviour
andfeedbackofthewing.

Wing
Topreparethewing,layitoutonthetopsurfaceandperformathoroughdailycheck.Youshouldinspect
thetopandbottomsurfacesforanyripsandtearsoranyotherobvioussignsofdamage.Layoutthelines
onesideatatime,holduptherisersandstartingwiththebrakelines,pullalllinesclear.Repeatwiththe
stabilo,D(uppers),C,BandAlines,layingthecheckedlinesontopofthepreviousset,andmakingsure
nolinesaretangled,knottedorsnagged.Mirrortheprocessontheothersideandtheninspectthelines
foranyvisualdamage.Theninspecttherisersforanysignsofobviousdamage.Thegeneralruleisifit
looksOK thenitisOK,howeverifyouhaveany doubtspleasegetadvicefromanexperiencedpilotor
yourlocaldealerorinstructor.
Tofamiliariseyourselfwiththeglideritisagoodideatoperformpracticeinationsandsmallightsona
traininghill.Thiswillenableyoutosetupyourequipmentcorrectly.
Take-off checklist:
1.Checkreserveparachute-pinisinandhandlesecure
2.Helmetonandfastened
3.Allharnessbucklesclosed-checkleg-loopsagain
4.Risersconnectedtotheharnesscorrectlywithcarabinersandmaillonstight
5.Acceleratorsystemconnected
6.HoldingtheArisersandyourbrakehandlescorrectly
7.Leadingedgeopen
8.Alignedinthemiddleofthewinganddirectlyintowind
9.Airspaceandvisibilityclear
IMPORTANT
Never take off with
a glider that is not
fully inated or if you
are not in control of
the pitch/roll of your
wing.
Launching
YourRush 5 willlaunch witheither the forwardor reverse technique.The wingshould be laidout ina
pronouncedarc,withthecentreofthewinghigherthanthetips.
Forward Launch - Nil to Light winds
Whenthewindisfavourable,whilstgentlyholdingtheArisersmoveforwardpositively,yourlinesshould
becometightwithinoneortwostepsandtheRush5willimmediatelystarttoinate.Youshouldmaintain
aconstantpressureontherisersuntilthewingisoverhead.Donotpulldownorpushtherisersforward
excessively,ortheleading edge willdeformand possibly collapsemakingtaking-offmore difcult 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
Rush5isinatedcorrectly,acceleratesmoothlyoffthelaunch.
Reverse Launch - Light to Strong Winds
Layoutyourwingasyouwouldforthe forward launch. However,thistimeturntofaceit,passingone
entiresetofrisersoveryourheadasyouturn.Nowyoucaninatethegliderwithyourbodyweightand
theA-risers.Oncethewingisoverhead,releasetherisers,brakegentlyifnecessary,turnandlaunch.
Instrongerwinds,bepreparedtotakeafewstepstowardsthegliderasitinates.Thiswilltakesomeof
theenergyoutoftheglideranditwillbelesslikelytooveryyou.Thisreverse-launchtechniquecanbe
usedinsurprisinglylightwindstoo.
Speed to Fly
Flyingattrimspeed(hands-up),theRush5willachieveits‘bestglide’speedforstillair.Youshouldy
atthisspeedwhenglidingdownwindorwhentheairisnotexcessivelysinking.Forbetterpenetrationin
headwindsandimprovedglideperformanceinsinkingair,crosswindsorheadwinds,youshouldyfaster
thantrim speedusingtheacceleratorsystem.Usinguptohalfbardoesnotdegradetheglideangleor
stabilitysignicantlyandwillimproveyouryingperformance.Youwillreachthenextthermalfasterand
higher.AtfullspeedtheRush5isstable,howeverwerecommendthatyoudonotyatfullspeedclose
tothegroundorinturbulentair.

Turning
TofamiliarizeyourselfwiththeRush5yourrstturnsshouldbegradualandprogressive.Tomakeefcient
andcoordinatedturns,rstchecktheairspaceisclearandthenleaninthedirectionyouwanttogo.The
rstinputfordirectionalchangeshouldbeweight-shift,followedbyasmoothapplicationofthebrakeuntil
thedesiredbankangleisachieved.Toregulatethespeedandradiusoftheturn,coordinateyourweight
shiftandusetheouterbrake.
Active Flying
Tominimizethelikelihoodofsufferingcollapsesinturbulentconditions,itisessentialtouseactiveying.
Theseareskillsthatarebestlearntbyplayingwiththegliderontheground.Flyingwithasmallamount
ofbrakeapplied(approx.20cm)willallowyoutofeelthefeedbackfromthewing.Inturbulentconditions
theinternalpressureofthewingisconstantlychangingandbyusingasmallamountofbrakewillyoufeel
thesechanges.Theaimofactiveyingistomaintainaconstantpressurethroughthebrakes,Ifyoufeel
areduction orlossofpressurequicklyapplythebrakesuntilyoufeelnormalpressureagain.Onceyou
havenormalpressure,raisethehandsbacktotheoriginalposition.Avoidyingwithcontinuousamounts
ofdeepbrakeinroughairasyoucouldinadvertentlystallthewing-alwaysconsideryourairspeed.The
brakeinputs canbe symmetricor asymmetric;you mayhave toapply bothbrakes or just one. These
subtleadjustmentswillkeeptheglideryingsmoothlyanddirectlyaboveyouanddramaticallyreducethe
likelihoodofacollapse.Ifthegliderpitchesinfrontofyou,usethebrakestoslowitdown.Equally,ifthe
gliderdropsbehindyou,releasethebrakestoallowittospeedup,butbereadytoanticipatethefollowing
pitchforward.Thegoalistomaintainthewingdirectlyoverheadwithaconstantlevelofinternalpressure.
No pilot and no glider are immune to collapses however correct active ying will reduce the chances
signicantly.When theconditions areturbulent, be more active and anticipate themovements ofyour
wing,alwaysbeawareofyouraltitudeanddonotover-react.
Westronglyadviseyoutokeepholdofyourbrakesatalltimesandtonotyinturbulentconditions.
IMPORTANT
Always keep hold of
your brakes. Do not y
in turbulent conditions
Landing
TheRush5showsnounusuallandingcharacteristicsbutasareminder,herearesometips:
•Alwayssetupforyourlandingearly,giveyourselfplentyofoptionsandasafemarginforerror.
•Oncebelow30metresavoidturningtightlyasthegliderwillhavetodivetoacceleratebacktonormal
ight. If you are at low altitude, or if you hit sink, this could mean you hit the ground harder than
necessary.
•Leanforwardoutofyourharnessbeforetheactuallanding(especiallyifit’sturbulent),withyourweight
leaningforwardagainstthecheststrap,andmakesureyourlegsarereadyforthelandingandapossible
PLF(parachutelandingfall).
•Allowtheglidertoyathandsup(trim)speedforyournaldescentuntilyouarearound1metreabove
theground(inwindyorturbulentconditionsyoumustytheglideractivelyalltheway).Applythebrakes
slowlyandprogressivelytoslowthegliderdownuntilgroundspeedhasbeenreducedtoaminimumand
youareabletostepontotheground.
•Inlightwinds/zerowindyouneedastrong,longandprogressivearetobleedoffallyourexcessground
speed.Instrongwindsyourforwardspeedisalreadylowsoyouarearingonlytosoftenthelanding.A
strongaremayresultinthegliderclimbingupwardsandbackwardsquickly,leavingyouinavulnerable
position.
•Ifthegliderdoesbegintoclimb,easeoffthebrakes(10-20cm)-donotputyourhandsupalltheway-
thenareagain,butmoregentlythistime.Keepthebrakesatmidspeed,standup,bereadytorunand
makesureyoubrakefullyasyouarriveontheground.
•Choosetheappropriateapproachstyleinfunctionofthelandingareaandtheconditions.
•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,orliftedagain,stallthegliderwiththeC
risers.Thisstallsthewinginaveryquickandcontrollablewayandwilldragyoulessthanifyouusethe
brakes.
•Alwayslandheadingintowind!
IMPORTANT
Never initiate a turn at
minimum speed (i.e.
with full brakes on) as
you could risk entering
a spin.

beforelaunchwillhelpavoidtheneedtousethesetechniques.
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identication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

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nallandingapproachbuttheyshouldbereleasedbeforemakingthenal
are.Ozoneadvisetonotusethistechniqueinturbulentorwindyconditionsduetothereducedabilityto
yactivelyandtheriskofaninadvertentstallwhilstdescendingthroughthewindgradient.
Oncethebigearsareengagedyoucanfurtherincreasethesinkratebypushingontheacceleratorbar,
howeverNEVERtrytopulltheBigEarsiniftheacceleratorisalreadypushed.Thelowerangleofattack
andtheactofdeatingthe tips canleadtoamajordeation.Always make theBigEarsrstandthen
applythespeedbar.
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.
IMPORTANT
Induce Big ears one
side at a time.
NEVER induce Big
Ears in accelerated
ight, this can lead
to a major deation.
Always pull the Big
Ears rst and then
apply the speed bar.
DO NOT perform spiral
dives with Big Ears
engaged.
B-Line Stall
B-stallisforfastdescentsinemergencysituationsonly,sinkratesofaround6m/scanbeachieved.Itis
howeverfasterandsafertolosealtitudewithaspiraldivethanaB-stall.
ToinitiatetheB-stall,keepthebrakesinyourhandandtakeholdofboththeBrisersnearthemaillons.
Pulldownrmly -thereisalotofpressuresoitrequiresa reasonablyamountofforce.Asyoupullthe
B-linestheairowoverthewingisbrokenandthegliderlosesitsforwardspeedbutremainsopenwith
a reduced cord. Once the wing is in B stall, maintain your position. Make sure to pull symmetrically
otherwisethewingcanrotateduringtheBstall,ifthisoccurspulltheoppositesidetostoptherotation
orreleasetheBriserstoresumenormalight.IfyoupulltoomuchB-linetheglidermayhorseshoeand
movearoundalot.Ifthisoccurs,slowlyreleasetheBlinesuntilthewingstabilisesorsimplyexittheB
linestallbyimmediatelyreleasingtheBrisers.DonotattempttomaintainaBlinestallthatisnotstable.
ToexittheB-stalltheB-risersshouldbereleasedsymmetricallyandinonesmooth,progressivemotion.
Theglider willresume normal forward ight without further input.Check youhave forwardight again
beforeusingthebrakes.
Spiral Dives
Ifyouturnyourgliderinaseriesoftightening360’sitwillenteraspiraldive.Thiswillresultinrapidheight
loss.Toinitiateaspiral,lookandleanintothedirectionyouwanttogo,thensmoothlyandprogressively
pulldownontheinsidebrake.TheRush5willrstturnalmost360degreesbeforeitdropsintothespiral.
Onceinthespiralyoushouldre-centreyourweightshiftandapplyalittleoutsidebraketokeeptheouter
wingtippressuredandinated.
Safedescentratesofmorethan8m/s(1600ft/minapprox.)arepossibleinaspiraldive,butattheserates
theassociatedhighspeeds and g-forcescanbedisorientating.Always pay particularattentiontoyour
altitude.Toexitthespiraldive,smoothlyweightshiftintheoppositedirectionofthespiralandsmoothly
releasetheinsidebrake.AstheRush5deceleratesallowittocontinuetoturnuntilenoughenergyislost
forittoreturntolevelightwithoutanexcessiveclimbandsurge.

MPORTANT
The pitching movement
on exiting the B stall is
small but necessary.
We recommend you do
not brake the glider
until you are sure that
the glider is ying
properly again.
IMPORTANT
Always be prepared
to pilot the wing out
of a spiral dive. Use
opposite weight shift
and apply enough
outside brake to
stop the wing from
spiralling.

The Rush 5 shows little tendency to remain neutral in a spiral dive, however some parameters could
interferewith itsbehaviour.  These might include: unsuitable cheststrap settings,total weight in ight
outsideofthecertiedweightrange,orbeinginaverydeepspiralataveryhighsinkrate>14m/s.
Youshouldalwaysbepreparedtopilotthewingoutofaspiraldive.Todoso,useoppositeweightshift
andsmoothlyapplyenoughoutsidebrakeuntilyoufeelthewingstarttodecelerate,thegliderwillthen
starttoresumenormalight.Recoveringfromaspiralwithhardorquickoppositeinputswillresultinan

offthespeedifnecessary.Neverperformspiraldivesclosetotheground.
Active C Riser Control
WhilstglidingitispossibletopilotthewingwiththeCrisers,thisgivesanimprovedfeelandcontrolover
thewingenablingyoutoyactivelywithoutusingthebrakes.Usingbrakeswhilstacceleratedcausesdrag

acrossthechordanddoesnotweakentheproleasmuchasusingthebrakes.Thedirectfeelallowsyou
tostopcollapsesbeforetheyhappenandmaintainhigherspeedsandhigherlevelsofefciencythrough
turbulence.
Toy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y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Rush5isinherentlystableatfullspeed,Crisercontrolisveryeffectiveuptoabout¾speed,however

Bepreparedforplentyofpracticeasthisnewmethodmaytakesometimeforittobecometotallyintuitive,

replaceproperactiveying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ytheglideractivelywiththebrakes.
IMPORTANT
Never apply the brakes
whilst using the speed
system - it makes the
wing more prone to
collapse.

INCIDENTS IN FLIGHT
EN
17
16
Deflations
Duetotheexible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.
Ifyouhaveacollapse,therstthingtodoistocontrolyourdirection.Youshouldyawayfromtheground
orobstaclesandotherpilots.Asymmetriccollapsesshouldbecontrolledbyweightshiftingawayfromthe
collapseandapplyingenoughbraketocontrolyourdirection.Thisactionalonewillbeenoughforafull
recoveryofthewingmostofthetime.
Onceagliderisdeateditiseffectivelyasmallerwing,sothewingloadingandstallspeedarehigher.This
meansthegliderwillspinorstallwithlessbrakeinputthannormal.Inyoureffortstostopthegliderturning
towardsthecollapsedsideofthewingyoumustbeverycarefulnottostallthesideofthewingthatisstill
ying.Ifyouareunabletostopthegliderturningwithoutexceedingthestallpointthenallowthegliderto
turnwhilstyoureinatethecollapse.
Ifyouhaveadeationwhich does notspontaneouslyreinate,makealongsmooth progressive pump
onthedeatedside.Thispumpingactionshouldtakeabout1-2secondsperpump.Pumpingtooshort
andfastwill not reinate thewingandpumpingtooslowmighttaketheglidercloseto,orbeyond,the
stallpoint.
Symmetricalcollapsesreinate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Rush5collapsesinacceleratedight,immediatelyreleasetheacceleratorandmanagethecollapse
usingthemethodsdescribedabove.
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difculttocontrol.Therstsolutiontogetoutofthissituationistostabilisethegliderinto
normalight,i.egetcontrolofyourdirectionandthen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quicklyandisthemostefcientandeffectivemethod.Youcanalsotrypullingonthe
stabiloline(CRL4-outsidelineontheCriser)tofreesmallstubbornwingtipcravats.Whichevermethod
youuse,becarefulwithanybrakeinputsasyoumaystalltheoppositewing.
Ifitisaverylargecravatandtheaboveoptionshavenotworkedthenafullstallisthenextoption.Only
attemptthisifyouhaveenoughaltitudeandyouknowwhatyouaredoing.Rememberiftherotationis
acceleratingandyouare unable tocontrolit,throw your reserveparachuteimmediatelywhilst you still
haveenoughaltitude.
Deep Stall / Parachutal Stall
It is possible for gliders to enter a state of parachutal stall. This can be caused by several situations
including;a veryslow release froma B-linestall; yingthe glider when wet; orafter afront/symmetric
deation.Theglideroftenlooksasthoughithasrecoveredproperlybutcarriesondescendingvertically
withoutfullforwardmotion.Thissituationiscalled‘deepstall’or‘parachutalstall’.
ItisunlikelytohappenonanyOzoneglider,butshoulditdosoyourrstreactionshouldbetofullyraise
bothhands.ThisnormallyallowstheglidertoreturntonormalightbutIfnothinghappensafterafew
seconds,reachupandpushtheA-risersforwardsorapplythespeedbartoencouragethewingtoregain
normalight. Ensure the glider hasreturned tonormal ight (check your airspeed)before you use the
brakesagain.
Donotyinrain,doingsosignicantlyincreases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.
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
A bad preparation
on launch, aerobatic
ying, ying a wing of
too high a level or in
conditions too strong
for your ability, are
the main causes of
cravats.
IMPORTANT
Never y in the rain or
with a wet glider.
WARNING
Uncoordinated
wingovers can lead
to large asymmetric
collapses and cravats,
therefore they should
never be executed
near the ground.

Flying in the Rain
Modernwingsaresusceptibletorainandmoisture,yingwithawetwingcanresultinthelossofnormal
ight.

Duetotheefcient,wrinkle-freedesignofthesail,watertendstobeadontheleadingedgecausingow
separation.Flowseparation willmakethewingmorepronetoenteringinadvertentparachutal stalls,so
ying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 ightusingthespeedbarand/orreleasingthetrimmers,
evenduringthenal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.
Step 1.Laymushroomedwing
ontheground.Itisbesttostart
fromthemushroomedposition
asthisreducesthedragging
oftheleadingedgeacrossthe
ground. Step 2.GroupLEreinforcements
withtheAtabsaligned,make
suretheplasticreinforcements
laysidebyside.
Step 3.Laywingonitssideand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.
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.

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rst
foldjustaftertheLEreinforcements.Donotfoldtheplastic
reinforcements,use3or4foldsaroundtheLE.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT lay the wing
at on the ground before packing the
glider, this will cause abrasion damage
to the top surface as you pull the glider
towards the middle. ALWAYS pack from
a mushroom or lift the wing off the
ground when gathering the wing and
grouping the leading edge.
IMPORTANT: Do not fold the glider in the centre, you
will bend the plastics, instead pack the wing with a full
concertina method from tip to tip before packing into the
stuff sac.
If using a Saucisse pack go to Step 8.
Step 7.Nowplacethefoldedwingintothestuffsack.
Step 4.Grouptogetherthemiddle/trailing
edgeofthewingbysortingthefoldsnear
theB,CandDtabs.
Step 6.Foldthewingwith3or4foldswhilstbeing
carefultonotcrushtheLE.
Step 5.OncetheLEandrearofthewinghave
beensorted,turnthewholewingonitsside.

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oranyhardsurfaceasthisisguaranteedtocausedamageto
thesailcloth.Liftitupandcarryitclearoftheground.
•DONOTtrytoopenyourwinginstrongwindswithoutuntanglingthelinesrst-thisputsunnecessary
strainonthelines.
•DONOTwalkonthewingorlines.
•DONOTrepeatedlyinate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rst!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yintherainorexposethewingtomoisture.
•DONOTexposethewingtounnecessaryUVorhighlevelsofheat.Leavingthewingsittinginthesunor
allowingittogethot(e.ginthebackofacar)willsignicantlyincreasethechancesofprematureageing.
•Ifyouy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.
•Changeyourmainbrakelinesiftheyaredamaged.
•Whengroundhandlingbecareful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therisers.Ifyounoticeanysignsofabrasion,
especially to the lines, make sure to replace them. It is important to modify your groundhandling
techniquetostopanyfuturedamage.
•Yourwinghasanopeningonthewingtipscalledthe‘Butthole’.TheButtholemakesiteasytoempty
anysand,leaves,rocks,mobilephonesetcthatmayhaveaccumulatedinthewing.
ItisrecommendedthatyouregularlyCHECKyourwing,especiallyafteraheavyperiodofuse,afteran
incidentorafteralongperiodofstorage.
Storage and Transport
Alwaysstoreallyourying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.
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,
butifyoudohaveto,useasoftclothdampenedwithasmallamountofwaterandusegentlemovements
acrossthesurface.
Ifyoulandinsaltwater,youmustrstrinseitthoroughlywithcleanfreshwater.Drythewingcompletely,
preferablyoutofthesun,inthewind.Neveruseahairdryerorothersourcesofdirectheat.
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xityourself.You’llnd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.
YoucanndmoreinformationaboutrepairingyourwingontheOzonewebsite,includingstepbystep
instructionswithpictures.
IMPORTANT
Never pack away or
store your glider wet.
IMPORTANT
Never use detergent or
chemical cleaners.

If you damage a line:
AnylinethatisvisuallydamagedMUSTbereplaced.LinescanbeorderedfromyourlocalOzonedealer
ordirectlyfromourwebsitewww.yozone.com.Alternatively,useareputableparaglidingservicecentre
tomakethereplacementlines.
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,inateandcheckthegliderbeforeying.
Maintenance Checks
Yourwing,like acar,should be technicallychecked to ensureproperairworthiness. Yourwingshould
beservicedbyaqualiedprofessionalforthersttimeafter24months,orafter100hours.However,if
youareafrequentyer(more than 100hrsperyear),thenwerecommend you havethewingserviced
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dimensionsofthelinestendtomoveduringtherstpartoftheirlife,itisthereforerecommendedto
haveaperformancetrimcheckwithintherst50hrsofuse.Toensurethecorrecttrim,thelinesshouldbe
measuredandadjustedtothepublishedvaluesasnecessary.LoopsintheClinesareinplacetomake
thisprocesseasier.
Duringthelifeofthewingthesailcloth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qualiedprofessional.
Youaloneareresponsibleforyouryingkitandyoursafetydependsonit.Takecareofyourequipment
andhaveitregularlyinspected.Changesinination/groundhandling/yingbehaviourindicatesthegliders
aging,ifyounotice anychangesyoushould have thewingchecked before yingagain.Theseare the
basicelementsofthecheckup:
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.
The tearingresistance of the cloth - A non-destructive test following the TS-108 standard which
speciesminimumtearstrengthforskydivingcanopiesshouldbemadeusingaBettsometer.(B.M.A.A.
ApprovedPatentNo.GB2270768CliveBettsSails)
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14Gforallmainriserlinescalculatedfromthemaximumcertiedying
weightoftheglider.Theaddedminimumstrengthforthemiddlelinesandupperlinesshouldbethesame
value.Ifthebreakingstrengthisclosetothe minimum value calculated,theprofessionalshouldgivea
periodafterwhichthestrengthtestshouldbeperformedagain.
Lengths of the lines-Theoveralllength(riserlines+midlines+upperlines)hastobecheckedunder
5Kgsoftension.Thedifferencebetweenthemeasuredlengthandtheoriginallengthshouldnotexceed
+/-10mm.
Complianceof the test sample’s suspensionlines, brake linesand risers were checked bythe testing
laboratoryafterthetestightswerecompleted.
Risers-Visualinspectionforsignsofwearorabrasion.Differencestomanuallengthsshouldnotexceed

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