Well, we have had a busy autumn of testing and developing the Mantra R09 our flagship comp wing or ‘voile de geurre’ (war wing) as they so eloquently say in France!

The performance results of the latest proto flown by Dav at the French championships were very promising and after more testing, triming and plenty of comparison flights we saw a marked improvement over our previous protos. So we decided to go with this one into production. The R09 has kept the good climb/handling characteristics of the R07 whilst improving the pure glide and top speed, and with the new colour scheme it really is a beautiful wing to behold.

The Worlds will be its first real test and we are confident that we have a really competitive wing. In fact the competition scene will be exciting for Ozone this year with the addition of some more quality pilots to our team, a big welcome goes out to Charles Cazaux (F) and Anders Baerheim (Nor).

Good luck to all our pilots for the World Championships in Mexico in Jan… Looking forward to it!
