Overall efficiency opens the windows of speed and glide, without  sacrificing safety and comfort. Instead of focusing on top speed when  laying out the design elements, through maximizing efficiency the design  team allowed speed and glide to increase as natural side effects of the  improved design elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlide and speed test comparisons have shown the Mantra M3 to be at  the top of the class in terms of performance. As for handling and  comfort, these are the trademarks of all Ozone wings and are crucial  elements of the Mantra Series as well – Confidence comes only with  comfort, and confidence is the first ingredient in your performance. The  comfort and ease of the Mantra M3 will allow you to maximize its  potential and yours, in any competition or XC environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling- just for fun?\u003cbr\u003e Handling is safety, and handling is performance. Maneuverability is key:  you need your glider to turn safely, quickly, and without the tendency  to spin. An agile glider is not only important for the enjoyment of  flight, but for collision avoidance and flying near terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more technical info on the new M3, please see the Designer’s  Notes from the Ozone Test and Design Team. The M3 is available for order  now in all sizes from your local Ozone dealer, so please contact them  to arrange a flight test. We hope that you enjoy taking the Mantra M3  cross country as much as we have during the development phases, and we  encourage you to send us news and photos of your favorite flights.

Actually a really good flight for getting to  know the glider, as there were 3 distinct phases. Around the take-off  ridge and for the first 20km conditions were broken and choppy; the  middle part of the flight was in better organised moderately strong  thermals; the later stages were in weakening conditions as the sky was  shut down by strato-cu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the broken stuff the glider was very good. Solid, climbing well,  lots of feedback but not much noise and no collapses. I wasn’t super  relaxed, but no one I chatted to afterwards was!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the good middle part of the flight the glider was fab. I was  really satisfied with the agility. I was able to tighten up on the cores  just fine. I was trying the technique of pulling the brake across my  body, which brakes the wing tip more than if you pull down with the  handle outside of the riser. There is a bit more turn and bank, but I am  still getting used to this feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen searching for the last dregs of lift I did notice the glider  pulling me towards lift and the turn was really flat when I needed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard to be definitive on comparative performance on glide as the only  close glide I had was against a Trango 3.
