The Magnum 3 is a completely new, “ground-up” design. It delivers significant upgrades in durability, comfort, and ease, with massive improvements in the areas of launch, landing, and in-flight agility.
A key benefit for professional pilots is that not only is the Mag3 lighter, it will also last for more flights, meaning that pro pilots save money in terms of cost per flight while also saving weight!
Russ Ogden, from our R&D team, says, “It offers the best durability to weight ratio possible, with elegant handling and incredible yaw/roll balance. And hands down the best flare and landing characteristics we’ve ever felt.”

The first OZONE Krushevo Open was a great success! Huge thanks to Baki and his team for their dedicated organization, and thanks to the pilots who ventured into this new event with us.
Overall, much learning occurred, with lectures and group training sessions given by Jocky Sanderson and pilot gatherings and meals sponsored by Baki Schakirovski and the event staff.
Despite less than ideal weather the organizers managed to set two good tasks. Task 1, 53km, won by Joshua Sanderson in his first official competition, and Task 2, 65km, won by Gaute Hvidsten, who flew with skill & patience, winning the overall. Kanan Thakur took 1st place among the women, flying brilliantly on both tasks. And Dagfinn Graneng was the lucky raffle prize winner of the OZONE paraglider!
The OZONE Krushevo Open will be back in 2019!

Icarus Trophy is a known as the World’s Toughest Air Race where paramotor pilots fly long distance unsupported. This is a near 1000 mile adventure air race where pilots fly across some of the most challenging terrain on the planet.
The Icarus Trophy this year was about 1200 km and included crossing two international borders, from South Africa to Botswana and then from Botswana to Zimbabwe. The Race started just north of Johannesburg and finished at Vic Falls in Zimbabwe.
South African pilot Alard Hufner won the race flying Speedster 28.
Alard reports: “I had a great time! What a fun adventure! As the race was held in winter the flying conditions were pretty good. Cold mornings and manageable conditions during the day.
The Scariest moment was when Sebastian and I were out on a remote road in Zimbabwe doing some work on his motor after his throttle cable broke and 2 lions appeared on the road 50 m away. We managed to get a lift to safety with an overland truck.
The longest flying day was just over 500 km, with the longest flight 240 km. I was flying a OZONE Speedster 28 with a Parajet Zenith Polini Thor 200″
