Ozone Swift
Superb weather down in Rome have given me the urge to get started again asap! Alistair and Kay what do you the think of the Swift(especially in rough air!) as it's first on my shopping list?
I'm biased.......
But we've sold/are selling loads of them. Everybody likes them....flown one, with Dave Horne (also on one) in really bumpy air end of last summer on Honister. Really predicable and secure. They make a lot of noise due to the thin undersurface fabric, and will be pretty fragile in the wrong hands..but they are an EN B with a glide close to many EN C's.
Just sold a M to a local guy witha woody valley voyager plus harness and sup air reserve....9.5kg!
Glad you are getting some sun!

BonGeorno Andrew..
I will get back to you about handling after a few more flights. However, so far I love it.
I have'nt flown in any really pumping conditions but on my maiden flight round Model ridge last week when I was just feeling my way it was GREAT.
Very quick and reponsive . On launching I kept over cooking things. Conditions on launch were quite fresh and I was pulling it up like my Epsilon..then next thing it was UP Over my head & behind me..Much quicker, so I have spent some time ground handling and hopefully got that a bit more sorted.
The speed system seems lovely and smooth running on high quality ballbearing blocks..and if the manual is to beleived you can use up to half bar without loosing any of its 9:1 glide.
Oh yes..Its lovely & lite.
