I flew my Mantra R11 from Milk Hill in Wiltshire on Sunday 13th May and landed near Dereham in Norfolk, total straight line distance 233 km. It was the 2nd longest straight line distance flight ever flown in the UK – I was 20 km short of breaking the 253 km British record set last year by Richard Carter. I am one of only 3 pilots to ever log a valid flight of more than 200 km in the UK. The other 2 being Richard Carter and Kai Coleman, who flew 222 km the day before my flight. I also broke the British female record set just the day before by Helen Gant, who flew a brilliant 166 km, herself smashing Judy Leden’s long standing 125 km record set in 2004.

The flight was only my 2nd 100 km flight in the UK and was my 1st flight of more than 200 km anywhere. I smashed my previous PB of 117 km from Piedrahita in Spain! The flight was very technical. I had to navigate around, above and under a lot of airspace, including that around Heathrow and Luton airports, flight lanes, military aerodromes and danger areas.

Anyone who has flown long distances in the UK is well familiar with the difficulties of dealing with airspace, which creates a complicated web of mandatory turns and ceilings. Kirsty’s line was far from simple, and highly impressive for many reasons! The Ozone Team would like to send out a huge congratulations, and thanks, to Kirsty.

Cheers from all the Team!

Although Ozone started as a pure free-flight company, we have enjoyed expanding into PPG wings and of course all aspects of kiting… we continue to urge dedicated free-flyers to discover the pleasure of PPG flying, it is a splendid branch of our sport!

Cheers from all the Team.

This notice concerns all EnZos manufactured between November 1st, 2011, and March 26, 2012. The serial numbers of the affected wings end with:
-M-48x-xxx
-M-49x-xxx
-M-50x-xxx
-M-51x-xxx
and for those manufactured in 2012, from: -N-01A-xxx to -N-12A-xxx

We will be shipping replacement Dyneema lines immediately. They can be fitted without having to do any sewing. Due to the possibility of a manufacturing error of the Dyneema lines used in the construction of the riser system, you must NOT fly your Enzo until the potentially faulty riser parts have been replaced.
The potentially affected parts are the two grey-coloured Dyneema lines attached to the risers, one connects to the main A and B risers and the other joins this to make up the rest of the outer A riser. It has been found on some risers that the splices of these lines are too short.
Contact your Ozone dealer who will issue you a Replacement Riser Line Kit that must be correctly installed before further use of your EnZo. We are very sorry for this and hope to have the replacement lines to all EnZo pilots very soon.

We are excited about this new wing and hope that you agree it is an ideal choice for high-speed on snow Speed-Riding, and also for summer foot launched flights (according to the site and your experience level). The maneuvers shown in this clip demonstrate the excellent agility, precision, stability, and energy retention (flare power and brake range) of the Fazer. For more info, please check out the Fazer info page.

Cheers from all the Team!

Oka San reports: “Thanks to its low speed and stall characteristics I managed to hit the target in very thermic condition (it would have been better to go out for XC flying that day). I was amazed also by its overall performance and good speed. It is definitely at the top of the class.”

Congrats Oka San, great work and we’re very happy that you like the new Mojo 4!

Cheers from all the Team.
