stupidcelebrities Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Check out the Extremeppg.com review on the ozone speedster 24. http://extremeppg.com/2011/07/21/ozone- ... er-review/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyfreefly Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I am amazed he can do a review of this wing ....and then say I DIDNT fly using the speed bar ?? Surely a wing of this type needs to be flown with the speedbar at some point during a review... otherwise your missing a whole dimension of what the wing is capable of... It would be better to call it a ( Half Review ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Don't worry Gary - it's not a real review, just a another half baked comparison to the "world's greatest wing" from a 'WPPGA' mouth piece ..... at least they aren't claiming this particular reflex wing is a "death trap" ! Haven't seen a bad review of the Speedster yet, and if it has the qualities of Ozone's recent PG wings it should be amazing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnrw Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Seemed like a pretty fair review to me, he fully disclosed he didn't use the speed bar and detailed the strength and weakness of the wing from his point of view. I for one appreciate his time for doing it and hope others follow. The more information the buyer has the better decision he can make. I feel with responses like yours could drive away future personal reviews, even if they are from people you don't agree with. Shawn P.S.

garyfreefly Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 No I disagree its like reviewing a 4 x4 and saying but I wont use fourwheel drive or a camera review and not showing any photographs or a how to use a new phone with all its incredible features and not showing how to make a call (there are lots of those on you tube) and as a result still dont know how to call somebody on my new phone but i do know how to email take photos and videos connect to the internet ect, ect, ect So a review without the important bits is not a review that tells the full story and that can sometimes be critical in making a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidcelebrities Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Pretty harsh there gentleman. Thank you Shawn for your positive comments. Its my glider, I bought it to test out and see what all the hype was around it. Its being compared to the k2 because I have been flying the k2 for 2 years now and its my every day glider. The ozone speedster is proving to be a very cool wing, I'm liking it a lot. What I really like is that I will be able to use speedbar at any point in the trim range and can still use brakes at any point in the speed range as well. I hope to fly the speedster a bit more in the next wieek pending weather of course and will report back with more info - speedbar, power usage and anything else anyone would like to know.

stupidcelebrities Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Little update- Still only getting about 31 mph out of the speedster with trims set to fast. I am a bit dissapointed its not quicker but still enjoy its faster speed than other glider I have flown so far. I was hoping to get closer to 35mph with just trimmers... I set up speed bar but its not going all the way out at the moment so I will try and report again tomorrow after I readjust. I was seeing about 36mph avg from the gps today wit speed bar about 2 inches short of being all the way fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
