    Ozone Photon is out

    Sylvie

    The Photon brings a new era for the Sport class (EN C). All of Ozone’s know-how in 2-liner designs has been applied to this wing to make it the missing link between conventional 3-liners and competition models.

    True Performance was our focus during the extensive development phase to produce practical usability and comfort throughout the speed range in real XC conditions.

    The handling, stability, and ease of use are as important to us as the performance numbers, which are close to those of the Zeno 2. Nonetheless, collapse behaviour and passive safety are solidly within the EN C category. Welcome to the future.

    The Photon is now available, Ring Jiri on 0417 776 550 for the cost.

    How to post your glider to The Paragliding Repair Centre?

    Sylvie


    Avoid boxes as the post office will then charge you as cubic weight instead of scale weight.
    Equipment posted to us is usually under 6kg and should cost you one way $40 or under.
    Make sure you round the corners so it cannot be measured.
    If you have a Concertina bag, post it with your glider. Much better for your Paraglider and much easier for us to pack your glider!!
    Please write your name, return address and PHONE NUMBER on your parcel.

    Parcels to be posted to :

    The Paragliding Repair Centre

    93 Princess Avenue

    Torndirrup, Albany

    WA 6330

    Make sure you make the corners round

    Jiri Flight

    Sylvie

    A few years ago Jiri was planning to fly from Sand Patch to Salmon hole but made it all the way to Bold head.

    Conditions were light and challenging but he made it all the way to the Bold Head. The end of that beautiful coast line. First time and only time still to this days, we know it is possible !!

    He flew back from Bold Head to Salmon Holes,where he landed, the flight took just over 2 hours to complete.

    You can see below his flight track, if you have  google Earth it gets even better, it can be in 3D!!!

    The flight path is shown on the image below (click to see a larger image), or open the file here on Google Drive to get more details. You can also download it then open using Google Earth to see altitude during the flight.
