The Italian Championships were held at Benevento airfield 17 – 21st May 2017. Ozone Italian Team pilots Pasquale Biondo finished in the first place flying his new Viper 4 18  followed by Sandro Passeri – 2nd on Viper 4 18. Pasquale says: "the weather conditions have been unstable with strong winds and even rain, but the organization managed to run several tasks such as precision take off, spot landing, pure economy and different navigation tasks" Other Italian pilot, Aurelio Tonchei, who flew Viper 4 20 in this competition reports:  "I flew Ozone Viper 4 20 and I had a perfect feeling with the wing during the race. It's extreme easy inflation undoubtedly helped in the take-off and landing in all task during the competition. Part of the race took place in strong weather conditions, and here the Viper 4 was very good and I felt safe. The use of the speed system is comfortable and light, giving lots of extra speed when you need it" Congratulations from all Ozone Team.
