Have you ever lost consciousness during a spiral? Or have you never dared to spiral so hard? Whatever brand of glider you have, whether you tend to spiral too much or too little, the Anti-G will change your life – for the better.

The Anti-G is a safety device that allows for safer spiral descents by reducing G-force. It is simple and easy to use, and particularly effective with high aspect ratio sails.

• Intended primarily for competition pilots and pilots flying high aspect ratio wings.

• The Anti-G is easy to use, but must be used only as directed. You must read and understand the user manual before any flight.

• The Anti-G packs into a pouch smaller than an average cockpit. It can be used with any harness .

• Lightweight and compact: 620 grams in total.

The Anti-G attaches to the main attachment point of your harness, on the side you wish to spiral to. Simply deploy the canopy (leech) and engage the spiral as usual. Although you will be able to enter a committed spiral, you will make fewer turns , while maintaining a higher sink rate , and experiencing much less G-force . The majority of pilots will experience a massive 40% reduction in G-force using the Anti-G.

Its use allows you to achieve a high sink rate while maintaining better situational awareness thanks to the reduction of forces experienced. This also means less stress on your wing and lines . Deployed in stabilized flight, the Anti-G does not generate any noticeable disturbance or yaw force on your harness at trim speed*.

You can spiral down and even land normally with the system deployed. The Anti-G is equipped with a kill line to easily disable it in flight.

We highly recommend this accessory to all competition pilots , regardless of their wing. Some high-performance wings (like the Mantra or Mantra R ) make efficient spirals difficult without excessive G-force. The Anti-G allows for a very fast descent with little G , for all wing brands.

Why is the Anti-G attached on one side only?

The Anti-G is attached on one side only so it can be used with any harness model. Additionally, it is designed to be used in spirals, which are asymmetric maneuvers. During spirals, the Anti-G is connected to the inner riser.

Once the Anti-G is deployed, is my wing more likely to collapse, stall or spin?

Since the Anti-G is attached to a link, it is close to your center of gravity of the system (wing + pilot). Therefore, it does not influence the pitch stability of the canopy. As proof, if the Anti-G were positioned higher, for example in the middle of the lines, it would exert a rearward force and increase the tendency to stall. One could say that the canopy does not feel the Anti-G, it is only the glide ratio that is affected; the Anti-G does not change the pitch balance. The same logic applies during the spiral, and the Anti-G does not cause any tendency to spin.

However, Anti-G adds a slight yaw asymmetry in arms-up flight, and a more noticeable asymmetry in accelerated flight.

Does my sail maintain the same spiral behavior with Anti-G?

Yes, all our tests show that the behavior of the spiral sail (stable or unstable) does not change when using Anti-G.

How is the Anti-G in straight flight?

Anti-G is useless in straight flight. With a surface area of ​​only 1.2 m², it is too small to generate significant drag at normal speed. For example, it does not help at all when landing over a shorter distance – for such an operation, anti-G is much less effective than the brakes.

During a spiral, the effectiveness of Anti-G is multiplied by 10 thanks to the improvement in speed and the fact that the drag is proportional to the latter. We do not recommend using Anti-G on approach to land, because in addition to being ineffective it can also disrupt your landing habits.

Can the Anti-G be retracted and reused in flight?

Although it is possible to reuse the Anti-G multiple times during a flight, OZONE does not recommend it. If the pilot retracts the Anti-G while flying, there is a danger of inadvertent re-inflation in the relative wind. If the Anti-G re-inflates close to the pilot, it can obstruct vision and reduce the ability to control the canopy. We recommend using the Anti-G for a single descent, then neutralizing it with the designated line before landing. Each pilot must make their own decisions regarding their safety in any situation.

Can Anti-G help with the aging of my equipment?

Yes, because it greatly reduces centrifugal force. The number of Gs is directly proportional to the stresses applied to the sail's structure. Your sail will experience a reduced load factor when used with Anti-G.

What is the purpose of the attachment tab inside the container?

It helps keep the red storage bag inside the container to prevent it from inflating in the relative wind during flight and disturbing the pilot.

The container is too small!

Your Anti-G spends more time stowed in your harness than inflated behind you, and for this reason it should take up as little space as possible. The container is designed to accommodate a properly folded Anti-G. Read the manual, and after a try or two you'll see that stowing it in its container is very easy.

Which side should I attach it to?

• On the inside of the spiral (attach it to the left side if you turn left, and vice versa).
• On the side opposite your reserve parachute (in the unlikely event that you have to deploy your reserve while the Anti-G is open).

My harness has attachment points for a drag chute. Do I need to use them for Anti-G?

No. We recommend attaching the Anti-G to your links as directed in the manual.

I tried to bring my Anti-G back on board and it reinflated as I tried to bring it back!

Firstly, we do not recommend doing this. If you find yourself in a situation where it is imperative to bring the Anti-G back and keep it on board for possible redeployment, then hold the strap firmly and if necessary twist it a little with your fingers to prevent the wind line from sliding inside.

ATTENTION:

Although it is possible to use the Anti-G multiple times during the same flight, OZONE does not recommend it. If the pilot retracts the Anti-G in flight, there is a danger of re-inflation in the relative wind. If the Anti-G re-inflates close to the pilot, there is a risk of inadvertent re-inflation, obstructing the pilot's vision and reducing the ability to control the wing. We recommend using the Anti-G for a single descent, then neutralizing it with the line provided for this purpose before landing.
