Testing the Ozone Roadster 3

[@glydrfreak]

To all those whining about what my altitude looks like: 1) Fisheye lens 2) all these were above 2000 ft 3) don’t tell me where my limits should be based on your own. I know what I’m doing. I’m more acquainted with collapses than most.

[@Combloc_Connoisseur]

Good stuff! Always interesting to see what the wings will do at load. Would love to see more of these tests with other ppg wings if you can ever do them.

[@glydrfreak]

I’ll do it with whatever wing I can get my hands on!

You’re a stud dude. Keep the energy flowing! 🤙🏼🦅☁️🏴‍☠️

Excelent Braendin , thanks for sharing this video !!! 🖖👋👋👋

[@pathfinder8383]

Nice....would love to see more with this wing. Be safe

[@300BLKSUBSONIC]

Ballsey my guy. Keep it flowing and be safe.

did anyone else read his name "Bread n' Butter"?

Finally found a video where someone throws this wing around. I feel good about my Roadster 3 now :) With a full tank I'm going slightly over the weight range (around 125kg). What do you think, are collapses a lot more dynamic when flying at the upper end of the weight range? It's my first wing and just starting out so I'm curious about what more experienced pilots think of it.

[@glydrfreak]

Good question. The collapse recovery gets a bit more violent or snappier with heavier load just because of the higher airspeed. Even at your loading, collapse recovery will be just fine while trimmed slow. While trimmed faster it might take you by surprise a little bit as it turns you and dives you towards the ground like it did to me, but it still worked out just fine 🤘🏻

@@glydrfreak Thanks for your thoughts.

Altitude is your friend!

[@lobbyrobby]

As a guy who's thinking about going to paramotor training soon, it's great to see videos like this while deciding which wing to buy after I have the experience. Aren't you scared doing this? I recently did 8 skydives and I was still shitting my pants during freefall lol. Is there any other great wings to consider after I finish?

[@glydrfreak]

This is definitely no intent to show that the roadster is a bad wing. Just showing that it behaves as it should with the certification it has, which is an EN-B. EN-A certified wings will be the most mellow. EN-B gains a little bit of maneuverability, speed, flare authority, and efficiency. The roadster is a fantastic wing following training. I might suggest the spyder (same wing as roadster but lightweight) because the lightweight fabric makes launching a heck of a lot easier. I’ve been in the sport long enough to know how different certifications of gliders behave when they collapse, so this wasn’t super scary. I knew what to expect and I knew the safe nature of the EN-B characteristics would take care of me. I certainly don’t suggest people collapse their wing this without knowing exactly what is going on. Hope that helps answer your questions! 👊🏻

​@@glydrfreakidk why I'm just now seeing your reply but I'm back here watching this video lol. Thank you for the input

[@RicardoDomingos-ss]

@@glydrfreak i have the mojo pwr2 you think this is a good safe 2nd wing? it will recover without pilot input?

[@glydrfreak]

@@RicardoDomingos-ss for sure! Would be a great second wing

[@RicardoDomingos-ss]

@@glydrfreak thanks man, i really value passive safety as it gives me confidence in the wing and lets me enjoy the views in my exploration and small cross country flights. Really apreciate your video so we can see how it behaves and not just in the EN certification sheet.

[@philc9305]

This is crazy at such low altitude.

[@glydrfreak]

How high do you think I was. I want a number.

[@philc9305]

First few test look to be less than a 1000' later you appear to much higher.

[@glydrfreak]

@@philc9305 these were all above 2000

[@NikkiSparkles]

It’s the camera you numbskull ! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Of course he’s high enough

[@dallinkenyon1]

Would this be a good first wing?

[@glydrfreak]

I think it’s best practice to make your very first flights on an EN-A class wing. many people purchase this wing as soon as they finish training.

[@TrevorSteele1]

Where are you located? Lets go fly!

[@glydrfreak]

Logan 🤘🏻 you Probly don’t remember but I actually came out to and demoed a flat top and dominator last year with Dell’s son while you stayed on the ground. If I remember right it’s because you were going through a rough time. But I’m totally down to fly with you man!

[@TrevorSteele1]

@@glydrfreak I do recall that! I had just gotten dumped haha... No flying sad and angry for me. Anyway, let's fly!

nice video :)

i did my siv in my roadster 3 without spiral and full stall i did that with u turn wing, thank great stuff fly high please

[@mattruss184]

Dude way to low to the ground doing those test

[@glydrfreak]

Oh thanks man. I’m glad you know so much more about this than I do. I’m also glad you are more altitude aware than I am as you sit there behind your keyboard looking through my fish-eye lens. With all due respect, shut up. Don’t tell me where my limits should be based on your own.
