A little video about the new Zeno 2 from OZONE. My videos are mainly for entertaining but will show in some way the potential of a certain glider. After more than 15 hours, here is a 15 mn video.
Hi Ziad thanks for your great Blog and vids. I've heard that the original Zeno was a little more nervous/twitchy in the S compared to other sizes, could you tell me if this is the case with the Zeno 2 in S size please?
Just had my first side by side glide comparison with my leopard XS, vs a zeno2M, the difference was disturbing... especially in full speed, The Z2 felt like ~7kmh faster while still having the better glideratio. Never felt so slow
Nice Vid! would you say it's an affordable glider for an experienced C pilot? Does the benefits worth the more control and active piloting it requires? Looks like a great machine..
@@NelsonsWings Hi, that's the same webbing and loop extension seen on the Zeno 1. It extends and flattens as soon as you push the bar or if you pull the B risers. It's like a retainer of some kind to control the extension between the B and A risers. Cheers.
When I fly with leopard, the b risers are very stiff. And has a short length. But xcracer is better. Softer and longer range. How is Zeno2 compared to leopard, xcracer, delta 4? Thank
At trim speed the Zeno 2 B handles are a bit on the moderate to heavy side. Much like the Leopard as i remember..They become lighter on the second bar. Cheers,
@@ziadbassil that’s a really good window of flying weather. I would’ve have thought the Mediterranean marine air would kill thermals most of the year. Does it take a big storm to bring instability?
The wing lufting in turbulence gave me the chills lol. Fly safe
Plus the orange or red will fly even better ;-)
Damn and full speed you really see where this wing will shine.
Excelente vídeo, ótimas referências
Great perspective from the xc racer , Good foresight for camera angles
Nice 👌🏼and XC -Racer👍🏼

Yes, the Zeno 2 S is also more demanding to fly than the MS.

Hi,
I think after a season on a 3 liner D glider, the Zeno 2 could be a good evolution.
The C category is far a bit for comparison
Cheers,
Ziad
@@ziadbassil Thanks
Beautiful!
What is that loop of webbing that runs from the handle down to the front riser?
HI, sorry..i didnt understand...what loop ?
@@ziadbassil Please look from 1:00 to 1:20. There is a loop of webbing on the risers. Perhaps it is there to do something with full bar?

Yo, voilà un spot avec du thermique !

Hello Mr. Ziad.
What is the pressure of theB riser relative to the delta 4?
In trim speed; Half Bar; Full bar
Very different in feel...but same pressure...
I don't understand different flying gear in same flying video.
What is the length of the speed bar? For example, delta 4 was 16 cm
ITS SINKS QUITE A BIT FASTER THAN THE FLOW I SEE
where is it?
Jounieh, Lebanon
@@ziadbassil how often is it this good? Is it based on seasons? If so which ones so I know when to visit
@@Vl7248 usually, from March to June, then from September to December is good in this spot.
@@ziadbassil that’s a really good window of flying weather. I would’ve have thought the Mediterranean marine air would kill thermals most of the year. Does it take a big storm to bring instability?
@@Vl7248 there's always thermals here. Sometimes strong and punchy, sometimes smoother...it's better when we are close to winter.
On ne voit que les ( beaux) paysages, le pilote et très peu la voile...
Merci. J'essayerai d'améliorer. A+
