Page 7: Your Oxygen
The new trend “walk and fly” and innovation of the new glider-generation are collectived in the OXYGEN. It was to create a glider for mountaineers that would be resistant in all conditions while still providing an agile and easy handling. -
Page 8: Canopy
Page 8 Canopy Dacron high quality Skyte 27 g NCV Porcher Marine is used for the Oxygen in different colours. Selected for its durability and resistance to UV-damage and it also reduces weight. Line Material To ensure durability, we use Liros Dynema and Edelrid Technora with HMA core (High Molecular Aramid) and a PE covering for the other lines. -
Page 9: Acceleration System
Following our philosophy to only build gliders with the highest safety, we design our gliders to meet DHV strict and robust regulations. OXYGEN DHV certification is valid using any harness which has been categorized by the DHV “GH”. Harnesses with the category “GX” and other special single purpose harnesses are not recommended because of the cross-braced strapping which detracts from the ability to steer by weight shifting. -
Page 10: Launch
The canopy of the OXYGEN is inflated quickly. Hold you arms out and up as an extension of the A-lines. When there is no pull from the lines and the wing is overhead, use slight pressure on the brake. -
Page 11: Towing
Ground Training In order to get to know your OXYGEN, we recommend that you practise with your glider on the ground. Pulling up in flat gradients is great practise for fine tuning your launch techniques. -
Page 12: Descent Techniques
Big & Small Ears The aim of this manoeuvre is to descend in strong thermals. Take the outer A-risers of the OXYGEN in your hand, without releasing the brakes and pull down leaving it run through your hands (use gloves!). Sink rate increases to 5m/ sec but not the forward speed. -
Page 13: Spiral Dive
The OXYGEN will start to turn, speed up and then drop into a spiral. To keep the wing under control you must pull and release the inside brake. Safe decent rates of 7-9 m/ sec are possible. -
Page 14: Cravat
To exit a spin with your OXYGEN just do “hands up” to release the brakes and the glider will return to normal flight. -
Page 15: Service, Repairs And Maintenance
Small holes in the canopy can be repaired by the pilot by using self adhesive sailcloth on both sides of the perforation. Damage to the lines or any other repairs should only be carried out at an authorized ICARO centre. If your OXYGEN needs to be repaired, please contact your local ICARO Paragliders dealer. -
