Page 5: Your Mojo Pwr
YOUR MOJO PWR Rucksack Based on the Mojo 5, the Mojo PWR is a versatile wing for both free flying and powered flight. Certified Your wing is supplied with a specially designed bag that is light in weight and comfortable. It features EN A, it is suitable for students in training but ideal for the newly qualified. It is reliable and dependable, suitable for the first 100s hours of paramotoring and paragliding. Due to the specially designed power a padded hip belt, adjustable ergonomic shoulder straps and extra pockets to store keys, accessories and all those extra bits. Its large volume allows you to store all of your equipment whilst distributing the risers the Mojo PWR is suitable for all types of power units and hang point types including trikes. These risers also feature trimmers for fast cruising, double pulleys for adjusting brake line lengths and magnetic weight for comfortable hiking. brake connectors. Brake Lines The brake line lengths have been set carefully during testing. We feel it is better to have slightly long The Mojo PWR is aerodynamically very clean, the reduced sail drag, optimised line layout, reduced IMPORTANT brake lines and to fly with a wrap (one turn of line around the hand).

Mirror the process on the other side and but not so long that it is impossible to use the full range of the speed system. then inspect the lines for any visual damage. Then inspect the risers for any signs of obvious damage. The general rule is if it looks OK then it is OK, however if you have any doubts please get advice from Once set up, test the full range of the speed system in calm flying conditions: ensure that both risers are experienced pilots or your local dealer or instructor. pulled evenly during operation. Fine-tuning can be completed when you are back on the ground. To familiarise yourself with the glider it is a good idea to perform practice inflations and small flights on a IMPORTANT: Using the accelerator decreases the angle of attack and can make the training hill. This will enable you to set up your equipment correctly. gliders recovery from a collapse more aggressive, therefore using the accelerator near the ground or in turbulence should be avoided. -

However, this time face the wing, and Your Mojo PWR will launch with either the forward or reverse launch techniques. attach the risers in the correct manor (half a turn in each riser, and crossed in the direction you want to When taking off under power, make sure there is enough clear space upwind of you to launch and climb turn). Now you can pull up the Mojo PWR by its A-risers. Once the wing is overhead, brake it gently, turn and launch. out safely, avoiding trees, power lines and any other obstacles that may affect you should you have a power failure. Always fly with a safety margin so that power failures do not leave you compromised. You In stronger winds, be prepared to take a few steps towards the glider as it inflates.

We recommend the trimmers be returned to PWR will achieve its best minimum-sink rate; this is the speed to use for thermalling and ridge soaring the normal slow position for landings. You can land un-powered or powered, here are some tips: whilst free flying. • Always set up your landing early, give yourself plenty of options and a safe margin for error and Active Flying make sure you are heading INTO wind. In turbulent air the profile is stable. It will resist reasonable levels of turbulence without pilot input. However • Once below 30 metres avoid turning tightly as the glider will have to dive to accelerate back to IMPORTANT in stronger turbulence Ozone recommends to return the trimmers to the standard position and fly the normal flight. Always keep hold of glider actively. This way, you will be in the best position to react correctly should an incident occur. • Allow the glider to fly with speed for your final descent until you are around 1 metre above the your brakes. Do not fly ground. Apply the brakes slowly and progressively to slow the glider down until the glider stalls and in turbulent conditions The key elements of effective active flying are pitch control and pressure control:... -

Ears in accelerated flight, this can lead Once the big ears are engaged you can further increase the sink rate by pushing on the accelerator bar, to a major deflation. however NEVER try to pull the Big Ears in if the accelerator is already pushed. The lower angle of attack and the act of deflating the tips can lead to a major deflation. Always make the Big Ears first and then Always pull the Big Ears first and then apply the speed bar. apply the speed bar. Whilst it is possible to enter a spiral dive whilst holding in Big Ears, the high forces applied to the lower lines could exceed the breaking strain of the lines leading to equipment failure!

Ozone recommends to use the concertina packing method exactly as shown so that all of the cells rest alongside each other and the plastic reinforcements are not unnecessarily bent. Using an Ozone Saucisse or Saucisse light pack will help preserve the life of the wing and aid with the speed and ease of packing. Step 5. Once the LE and rear of the wing have Step 1.
