BasedontheMojo5,theMojoPWRisaversatilewingforbothfreeyingandpoweredight.Certied
ENA,itissuitableforstudentsintrainingbutidealforthenewlyqualied.Itisreliableanddependable,
suitablefortherst100shoursofparamotoringandparagliding.Duetothespeciallydesignedpower
riserstheMojoPWRissuitableforalltypesofpowerunitsandhangpointtypesincludingtrikes.These
risersalsofeaturetrimmersforfastcruising,doublepulleysforadjustingbrakelinelengthsandmagnetic
brakeconnectors.
TheMojoPWRisaerodynamicallyveryclean,thereducedsaildrag,optimisedlinelayout,reduced
lineconsumptionandnewly-shapedcellopeningsallpushtheMojoPWR’sperformancetothetopof
thecategorywithoutcompromisingsafety.Specialattentionhasbeenmadetothegroundhandling
andinationcharacteristicsofthewingtomakethewholeprocesseasier,lessstressfulandultimately
safer.Settingupiseasy;therisersaresimpleandcleanthewinginatessmoothly-withoutovershoot-
ingorhangingback-eveninzerowindconditions.Instrongerwindsitinatesprogressivelywithless
tendencyto“shootup”andpullthepilotofftheirfeet.

IntheairtheMojoPWRisagile,stableandcomfortable.Inactiveairthewingiscompactandforgiving.
Itiswelldampedinpitch,thishelpsitcutthroughturbulenceefcientlymakingitveryresistanttodea-
tionsandimprovingthere-inationcharacteristics.Itdeliversgentle,predictablefeedbackandlters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renedfor
improvedhandling-turnsareeasytoinitiate,andthewingmaintainsbankangleswhilstthermallingwith
minimalinput.Thisprecision,alongwiththedeeperoverallbrakerangeandhigherresistancetostallor
spinmaketheMojoPWRasuper-funyetforgivingwingtoy.
Rucksack
Yourwingissuppliedwithaspeciallydesignedbagthatislightinweightandcomfortable.Itfeatures
apaddedhipbelt,adjustableergonomic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.
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line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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MojoPWRhasbeendesignedwith3rowsoflinesandrisers.Eachriseriscoveredwithcoloured
webbing,thisallowsthemtobeeasilyidentied.
YouwillnoticethattheA’saresplitintwoparts,thesmallriseronthebackholdingonlytheouterAline,
isthe“BabyA”;ithasbeendesignedtomakeapplying“BigEars”simple.
Therisersfeatureadjustablebrakeheightpositionsandtrimmers.
Adjustable Brake Position
Theheightofthebrakehandlescanbeadjustedaccordingtopilotpreferencetosuitethepowerunit’s
hangpointsheight.Thereare2settings:upperandlower.Theuppersetting(assetbythefactory)isfor
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.

IMPORTANT
If you adjust the brake
handle height, you
MUST re-lengthen
the brake lines
accordingly. 17cm
NOTE
The Mojo PWR is
certied in accelerated
ight with the speed
bar only and the
trimmers set in the
standard or slowest
position. Releasing the
trimmers invalidates
any ight certication.
For un-powered ight
and valid certication
the trimmers must
be pulled to the slow
position and locked in
place using the D ring.

lowhangpointmotorswhilstthelowersettingisforunitswithhigherhangpoints.
Ifyoulowerthebrakehandle,youmustalsolengthenthebrakelinesaccordingly.Movingthebrake
handlestothelowerpulleyrequiresadding17cmtotheoverallbrakelinelength-usetheappropriate
markonthebrakelines.
• Firstundothebrakehandle’sknotandremovethebrakelinefromtheupperpulley.
• Re-routethebrakelinethroughthelowerpulley
• Re-attachthebrakehandlewithanappropriateknotatthecorrectlengthusingthesecondmark.
Trimmers
TheMojoPWRissuppliedwithatrimriserset.The‘neutral’orstandardpositioniswhenthetrimmers
arepulledallthewaydown.Itisinthispositionthatthewingiscertied.Thestandard(certied)trim
settingisidealforclimbingunderpower,whilstthermallingandwhentheairisturbulent.Brakepressure
islighterandthehandlingatitsbestonthestandard(certied)trimsetting.
Toincreasecruisespeedyoucanusethespeedsystemorreleasethetrimmers.
Inturbulentairtheproleisverystable.Itwillresistreasonablelevelsofturbulencewithahighresis-
tancetocollapsewithoutpilotinput.HoweverinstrongturbulenceOzonerecommendstoreturnthe
trimmerstothestandardposition(pulleddown)andytheglideractively.Thisway,youwillbeinthe
bestpositiontoreactcorrectlyshouldanincidentoccur.
NOTE: The standard position is when the trimmers are pulled down to the slowest
position. In this position the maillons on the risers are level.
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
conditionsshould be
avoided.
NOTE
It is recommended
to pilot the wing with
the rear risers during
accelerated ight.
Total weight in flight
EachMojoPWRhasbeendesignedwithadenedweightrange.Westronglyrecommendthatyou
respecttheENweightrangesforfreeightandtherecommendedweightsforpoweredight.Flying
aboveorbelowtherecommendedweightswillhaveadetrimentalaffectonthebehaviourofthewing
andexposesyoutounnecessaryrisk.Donotdoit!Choosethesizemostsuitedtoyourweight,thatway
youcangetmanyhoursofbothpoweredandun-poweredightwiththesamewing.
Towing
TheMojoPWR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MojoPWRhasbeendesignedasasolointermediatePPG/freeightXCwingandisnotintended
fortandemightsoraerobaticmanoeuvres.Aspecicstandardofcerticationforaerobaticyinghas
notbeensetupyet,Ozonewingsalthoughdesignedtothehighestspecicationsarenotcertiedfor

Accelerator System
Tosetupan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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Using the accelerator decreases the angle of attack and can make the
gliders recovery from a collapse more aggressive, therefore using the accelerator
near the ground or in turbulence should be avoided.
Harness and Motor
Itwillbeinyourharnessthatyouwillenjoyyingsoitisrecommendedthatyouspendthetimeonthe
groundtoadjustyourharness’s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MojoPWRissuitableforalltypesofpowerunits.Therearemanydifferentunitsavailableanditis
vitallyimportantthatyouchooseonethatissuitableforyourneeds,weightandskilllevel.Alwaysseek
assistanceandadvicefromyourinstructororexperiencedpilotsbeforechoosingequipmentforyourself.
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
experiencedpilots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

shouldalwaysbeabletoglidepowerofftoasuitablelandingplace.
Whilstinatingyourwing,youshouldholdbothoftheArisersoneachside.Onceclippedin,andyou
havegonethroughthetake-offchecklist(above),standcentraltothewingtoensureanevenand

yourfeethaveleftthegroundandyouaresureofasafeclimbout.
Forfasterination,especiallyinnilwindconditionsyoumayreleasethetrimmersbyafewcms.
Forward Launch - Nil to Light winds
Whenthewindisfavourable,moveforwardpositively:yourlinesshouldbecometightwithinoneortwo
steps.Thewing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MojoPWRisinatedcorrectly,progressivelyapplyfullpowerandacceleratesmoothlyforthe
launch.
Reverse Launch -Light to Strong Winds
LayoutyourMojoPWR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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inates.Thiswilltakesome
oftheenergyoutoftheglideranditwillbelesslikelytoover-y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’sightcharacteristics.Itwillalsoimproveyouroverallenjoymentofying
bymakingyourlauncheseasierandsafer.
The Climb Out
Onceintheairyoushouldcontinueyingintowindwhilstgainingheight.Bysettingthetrimmerstothe
standard(certied)positionyouwillachievethebestclimbrate.Donotattempttoclimbtoosteeplyor
tooquicklybyusingthebrakes.Thewingalreadyhasahighangleofattitude,coupledwithahigher
AoA(ifyouusethebrakes)plustheengine’sfullthrustactingonthepilot,thiscouldcontributetomake
theglidermorepronetostall.Furthermore,intheeventofanenginefailuretheresultingbackward
pendulummotionofthepilotandtheforwarddiveofthewingmaybringyoubacktothegroundvery
hard.Donotinitiateturnsuntilyouhavesufcientheightandairspeed.Avoidlowturnsdownwindwith
insufcientairspeed.
TheMojoPWR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.
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.
NOTE
Using the trims
asymmetrically will

Turning
ThehandlingcharacteristicoftheMojoPWRistrulyamazing.Wehaveworkedhardontuningthewing
sothatitturnstightlybutalsoefciently,astheabilitytoclimbinaturnisveryimportantforpowered
andfreeight,makingtheclimboutfunandthermallingeasy.
TofamiliarizeyourselfwiththeMojoPWRyourrstturnsshouldbegradualandprogressive.Tomake
efcientandcoordinatedturnswiththeMojoPWRrstlookinthedirectionyouwanttogoandcheck
thattheairspaceisclear.Yourrstinputfordirectionalchangeshouldbeweight-shift,followedbythe
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.
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willachieveverygoodstraightlinespeedswhilstmaintaininglevelightathigh
speeds.
Forbetterpenetrationinheadwindsandimprovedglideperformanceinsinkingair,crosswindsor
headwinds,youshouldyfasterthantrimspeedbyusingtheacceleratorsystem,thetrimmersorboth.
Formaximumefciencywhilstyingdownwind,releasethespeedbarandreturnthetrimmerstothe
standard(certied)position.

Bypullingthetrimmerstothestandardpositionandapplyingthebrakesapproximately30cm,theMojo
PWRwillachieveitsbestminimum-sinkrate;thisisthespeedtouseforthermallingandridgesoaring
whilstfreeying.
Active Flying
Inturbulentairtheprole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ythe
glideractively.Thisway,youwillbeinthebestpositiontoreactcorrectlyshouldanincidentoccur.
Thekeyelementsofeffectiveactiveyingarepitchcontrolandpressurecontrol:
Inturbulentair,ifthegliderpitcheshard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.

Insevereturbulence,yingwithasmallamountofbrakeapplied(approx.20cm)willgiveyoutension
inthebrakesandfeedbackfromthewing.Inturbulentconditionstheinternalpressureofthewingcan
change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yingwithcontinuousamountsofbrakeinroughairasyoucouldinadvertentlystallthewing.
Alwaysconsideryourairspeed.
Nopilotandnogliderareimmunetocollapses.Insevereturbulenceactiveyingwillvirtuallyeliminate
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yinturbulentconditions.
IMPORTANT: In turbulent air return the glider to trim speed - release the speed
bar or return the trims to the slow position
Landing
TheMojoPWR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ight.
• Allowtheglidertoywithspeedforyournal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
IMPORTANT
Always keep hold of
your brakes. Do not y
in turbulent conditions
IMPORTANT
Never initiate a turn at
minimum speed (i.e.
with full brakes on) as
you could risk entering
a spin.
IMPORTANT
In turbulent air return
the glider to trim
speed - release the
speed bar or return
the trims to the slow
position
IMPORTANT
Never apply the
brakes whilst ying at
full speed - it makes
the wing more prone
to collapse.

Ozonewouldliketoremindyouthatthefollowingmanoeuvresshouldbelearntunderthesupervisionof
aqualiedinstructorandalwaysusedwithcaution.Neverforgetthatproperlyanalysingtheconditions

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shoulduseweightshift.Toreopentheears,releasebothAlinesatthesametime.Tohelp
reination,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.
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.
