Ozone Enzo 3/CCC - Lauren quick overview. So, for the salvation of the Paragliding competition scene in its current mess and dying situation and for a more fair sport, here finally comes the CCC class and the Enzo CCC. Just like I said 3 years ago, there is a limit for flattering the arc but we have not reached the limit yet, flattering the arc plus floating horizontal tips (last 1 or 2 cells) improve gliding and sink rate, it amazes me that some other designers cant see the obvious after all these years. Mother nature show us the way that in high perf soaring birds, in design theory and Sailplanes. Maybe its because I studied ornithology at university and I can see the obvious for years. The boom 9 has a very flat arc, giving a projected AR of 6, with just 7.75 flat. The Enzo CCC looks flatter than ever before and thinner, there is no way this glider AR is only 7.55, it is visible more. After fighting ozone for years to give the sizes S, XS and XXS the same wingloading as the XL (4.9kg/sqm flat) like the M and L already does, Luc decided to hear me and brought down the XS size from 20.7 to 20.3 which is a small improvement but not the ideal 19.7 yet which would give the same wingloading as the others, nevertheless the less because of this small improvement in wingloading there is already talks the XS is performing better. I wish the Enzo S and XS followed the same path of the XL L and M in wingloading, like XL 27.7, L 25.7, M 23.7, S 21.7, XS 19.7, but we know in reality the S is 22.0 and the XS is 20.3 giving less wingloading therefore less speed in all speed range even if the accelerator travel size is the same size as the Medium. If the small do not have a longer accelerator than the other sizes which I think it doesnt (all same size) I find it incredible that some experienced pilots saying on paraglidingforum.Com the enzo S is faster than the M is simple laughable, how they are experienced pilots but cant understand simple physics is beyond me. Learn wingloading = speed, specially in small gliders, its vital to the have the same as the bigger sizes.
