That will be an Ozone Roadster 3, 28 m if you like floating, or 26 m if you like a bit quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Difference in speed between the 26 and 28 is only between 1.5 and 2.0 kph according to my calculations. I think the only noticeable change would be running a bit faster on takeoff in nil wind scenarios. If you're fit, no issues for the smaller wing.

Flypapuk Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It depends what manufacturer you choose, Basing on your AUW @ 125kg then the 25 would be ideal Thanks Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Excellent beginner to intermediate wing Dudek Universal 1.1 easy to launch, and at your weight in flavour 28 would be just right, And No i'm not connected to Dudek in anyway .

GB007 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) For give me if this is totally stupid question and jumping on this post. I also just go the Powered Paragliding Bible and read up to Chapter 9 Airspace. Am I right thinking this covers mostly US Airspace? How similar is that to UK Airspace, Should I skip that for the moment and focus on the UK or keep reading as there is not much difference? I know I will find this out sooner or later but could not help myself asking here. Hope you don't mind? Thanks Edited January 13, 2019 by GB007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
