Ozone Roadrunner: The Ultimate Ground-Handling Tool
The Ozone Roadrunner is a specialized paraglider designed exclusively for ground-handling training. It is the perfect solution for pilots of all levels who want to master their kiting skills without putting unnecessary wear on their primary flight wing. Engineered to be docile and predictable, the Roadrunner makes learning launch techniques safe, efficient, and fun.
Training Versatility in All Winds
One of the Roadrunner's greatest strengths is its ability to handle a vast range of wind speeds. In high winds, where a standard wing would generate too much lift or be prone to overshooting, the Roadrunner remains manageable and stays low to the ground. In light or zero-wind conditions, its lightweight construction and reinforced leading edge allow it to inflate effortlessly and rise steadily overhead.
Smart Design for Student Success
The Roadrunner features a simplified two-riser system with a split-A design, allowing students to practice various launch, control, and wing-disabling techniques used on full-sized gliders. To further enhance the training experience, the brake handles are equipped with magnetic attachments, making them easy to grab and replace while focused on the wing. Its progressive inflation characteristics ensure that mistakes are forgiven, providing a confidence-building experience for new pilots and kids alike.
