YOUR SWIFT 2
The Swift2 is a development of the Rush3 so it is suitable for a wide
range of pilots; from intermediate through to advanced. Constructed
using a hybrid mix of light and super-light Porcher Sport material, it
has an optimised line set for reduced drag and special leading edge
reinforcements.
The combination of light material and construction techniques used
for the Swift2 is the result of Ozone's continuing research and
development. This began in 2001 with the introduction of the Peak
and a lightweight concept wing that was successfully flown from the
summit of Mount Everest. Development continued with a light weight
high performance XC wing for the first ever X-Alps race in 2003 and
has continued ever since.
The Swift2 represents the next generation of light weight sports
intermediate XC wings. In the continual pursuit of True Performance,
our mission with the Swift2 was to absolutely maximise glide ratio
and minimum sink rate performance within the EN/LTF B class.
The Swift2 incorporates the revolutionary R10/Delta sail construc-
tion methods. The leading edge plastic reinforcements and optimised
tab positioning has solidified the leading edge making for a more
tuck resistant structure. This promotes confidence and allows you
to push harder in turbulent air whilst retaining better stability at
all angles of attack. Mini ribs at the trailing edge and an optimised
line plan, using new updated materials has resulted in a significant
reduction in parasitic drag. This line drag reduction along with the
new construction technique has enabled a significant performance
increase and placed the Swift2 at the top of its class in terms of
glide, speed and ease of use.
Developing the Swift2 has been a real pleasure for us. We have put
all of our passion and know-how into this wing and it directly benefits
from the lessons learnt and the technology used in our competition
wings to deliver a glider with levels of safety/performance/weight we
only dreamed of a few years ago.

Rucksack
The rucksack is light weight, comfortable and useful. It includes a
padded hip belt along with ergonomic and adjustable shoulder straps.
It has a large volume that will allow you to store all your kit, whilst
still being comfortable for hiking.
Brake Lines
The brake line lengths have been set carefully during testing. We feel
it is better to have slightly long brake lines and to fly with a wrap
(one turn of line around the hand). However, if you do choose to ad-
just them, please bear in mind the following:

IMPORTANT: In the unlikely event of a brake line snapping
in flight, or a handle becoming detached, the glider can be
flown by gently pulling the rear risers (C-risers) for direc-
tional control.
Risers
There are 2 different riser options available for the Swift2; Standard
and Lightweight. Standard risers are made from 12mm black Cousin
webbing and have Maillon Rapides metal maillons to connect to the
lines.
Lightweight risers are made from 7mm Dyneema (white) and have
specially designed 'Link Lite' connectors to hold the riser lines. These
are tested to over 500kg and save weight compared to standard
maillons. (See page 51 for instructions).

Ensure both main brake lines are of equal length.
If a brake handle has been removed, check that its line is still
routed through the pulley when it is replaced.
When the brake handles are released in flight, the brake lines
should be slack. There must be a substantial "bow" in them to
guarantee no deformation of the trailing edge.
There must be a minimum of 10cm of free play before the brakes
begin to deform the trailing edge. This prevents the trailing edge
from being deformed when using the speed system.
