About Custom Colours

Ozone encourages you to customize your own personal colour combination for your wing. On the Ozone website. Customization generally incurs a fee. Once you’ve decided you can share your design with your friends, or if you are ready to order, send it to us at Flybubble.

Please note that because the glider will be built specifically for you in the Ozone factory, payment must be received before production can begin.

Fabric and Colour Resistance

Please be aware that the colour you see on your screen may not accurately represent the actual fabric colour. Given the wide variance in monitor calibration and the fabric appearance in different light and colour combinations, it is impossible to perfectly represent fabric colour on screen. If you have any doubts about the colours, look at photos of various wings on our website to see them in different light and colour combinations or contact Flybubble to see the fabric in person.

All of the fabric that Ozone use undergoes extensive testing in prototype colour phase to ensure colourfastness, mechanical stability, porosity, and general longevity before they put it into production. Once the fabric is in production, every meter of it is rigorously inspected upon arrival in the Ozone factory, and fabric which does not pass the stringent quality control standards is returned to the manufacturer. All of the colours that Ozone manufacture score between 4 and 5 on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest possible rating for longevity.

The Spark 2 features technologies taken from Ozone's higher performance models but implemented into a concept focused very much towards, safety, forgiveness and excellent inflation behaviour. The new profile, line layout and internal structure improves the efficiency and passive safety whilst retaining the forgiving nature required for a school wing. The planform retains a moderated aspect ratio which has proven to be a good compromise for comfort, ease of use and fun whilst maintaining exceptional safety characteristics.

Particular attention has been made to the inflation behaviour and ground-handling characteristics to make powered launches as easy as they can be. In nil-wind conditions, the inflation is incredibly easy, the Spark 2 inflates with the lightest of forward pressure, yet the leading edge remains strong and open even when forced by heavy inputs. In the lightest of winds, the Spark 2 rests overhead and forgives misguided inputs, this quality makes ground handling both fun and safe.

In the air, the Spark 2 is simple to fly. It is damped in both roll and pitch, with a progressive feel in the brakes for controlled and coordinated turns. The overall brake range is long, with a very slow stall speed, making it very difficult for students to inadvertently stall or spin the wing. Whilst it is incredibly forgiving, the Spark 2 is also enjoyable to fly, tight and compact in the air, beginners will find it intuitive to fly whilst instructors will appreciate handling that is agile and precise. The excellent sink rate performance allows for quick take offs and efficient fuel consumption.

The risers are simple and uncluttered with an effective trimmer system and short-range speed system offering sufficient speed and solidity to give instructors peace of mind whilst guiding pilots through these exercises. 

Flight tested to the EN 926.2 standard and DGAC approved the Spark 2 is available in 3 sizes, covering a wide weight range of pilot weights. The overall ease of use and uncompromised safety combine to make the Spark 2 the favoured workhorse for instructors and schools.
