Ozone Alpina 4

Our Opinion – Ozone Alpina 4 review

We don’t know another C-Wing with this combination of performance, passive safety, and ease of use. Other C-Wings might keep up with the performance, but at the cost of a much more demanding extreme flight behavior. The Alpina 4 offers 2-liner feeling with almost B-Class safety. Don’t believe it? Go try it yourself!

What we like about the Alpina 4

• Ozone typical take off behavior: Very pitch-stable without shooting. No surprises in strong wind takeoffs. Glider rises without any input on the A-risers.
• High roll rate, but stable on bar. Doing big wingovers is effortless.
• Very easy to turn in thermals. Very little brake pull needed to thermal.
• High spin and stall resistance. It has very long brake travel before it stalls or spins, and the pressure increases greatly before the stall point.
• Ozone typical pitch stability in active air.
• Almost B-Class safety (I assume bigger sizes could pass B-Certification)
• 2-liner feeling when active flying using the “bridge”. If held at the correct position, the bridge uses no more force then on some real 2-liners.

Good to know

• The Alpina 4 inflates slowly. In zero wind launches, it’s not fully inflated yet when above your head. This is strange, but not a problem. That might lead to a slightly longer runway compared with other wings. Totally acceptable for C-Wings in our opinion.
• No light risers available. The Alpina 4 has the same risers as the Delta 4.
• Quality is great as usual with Ozone wings. But we are a little disappointed that the miniribs have the stitching on the top surface and therefore can be easily torn out.
