Gavin Zahner, flying our serial class Mantra M2, has won 1st place overall! Gavin says that the M2's glide performance and stability on speed bar was crucial for the conditions at the comp. The DHV 2-3 certified M2 has just been released in size M, and this is the first international comp it has competed in.

In Gavin's words:

“Maybe it shouldn't be the Mantra M2, but the Mantra CB (Chrigel Beater ;-) ) The M2 definitely hold's it's own in the glide department with solid performance on the bar. That was critical both days. Also I think my theory of black gliders heating up the internal air more and therefore having better glide is unquestionable now ;-) Big thanks to the ozone crew for the glider, you're definitely hitting the performance mark with this one.”

1st - ZAHNER, Gavin, - Ozone Mantra M2
2nd - MAURER, Christian - Advance Omega (proto)
3rd - HYSTEK, Phil - Gin Boomerang Sport

Congratulations on your awesome win, Gavin! Nice work! Although we’re not sure about the black fabric theory, we suspect that your win was more a result of pilot skill coupled with a glider that is just nice and comfortable to fly.

The Mantra M2 is certified DHV 2-3 and available in M size now and will be available in the S and L sizes very soon. The Mantra M2’s balance of performance and comfort must be flown to be believed, so contact your local Ozone Dealer for a test flight now!
