Nice one Russ!

[@ozoneswiftak]

My swift 2 is still great. But moving up to an Alpina was a great decision

I am wondering What would be the best comparable wing of the rush 5 for a PPG? Or can I use this new rush 5 with my PPG. :) You guy prob dont know the answer :)) Thanks

[@thisisyol]

as long as manufacturers keep using only words like good, better, safer instead of a real and fair comparison, I'll go for the least expensive.

Honestly this wing is a dog. I have taken more collapse's on my Rush5 than the last 3 wings combined. I have only put 6hrs on this wing and have taken over 40+ collapse's. I had a Rush 4 before hand and that thing was a tank it would bulldoze through most things where as the Rush 5 will collapse in medium turbulence.

40 collapses in 6 hours...hmmmm

@@5ty717 I have actually gone back to the Rush 5. But I stand by what I said. The internal pressure is not as good. It takes multiple pumps on the brakes to get a collapse out and when it does come out it's slow. The Rush 4 when it took a collapse was one pump and it opened with authority. Even big ears takes multiple thumps to clear. I have reduced the amount of times it collapse's by flying it out of certification and opening the chest strap as far as it will go. Overall it is probably the last ozone wing I buy for a while. Thinking of moving over to skywalk.

@@NoLiability 40 collapses in 6hr ? Yeh sure bro

[@NoLiability]

@@telkmx Yes 40 collapse's in 6hr. The wing is a dog. I took 6 the first time I flew it. I flew my Rush 4 Unpacked my Rush 5 and took two on take off then another 4 doing wingovers. I fly in very thermic conditions. But hey you believe what you want doesn't change the fact the Rush 5 is horse shit compared to the Rush 4 as far internal pressure

[@telkmx]

@@NoLiability what about the rush 6
