Revo2 or Fusion depending on experience. Although if I was buying again, even with limited experience I would opt for the Fusion.

This is probably the next best thing as the Fusion and the Revo2 are very similar in this respect. It's about as nil wind as you can get. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]

Yep, that'll do it

Ahhhh, a voice of reason and common sense amongst a sea of frightened, insecure, mislead and angry people. It soothes the nerves I think I agree on every point that you made. More of the same please.

Thanks Mike, that's exactly what I have just fitted Dan

Thanks for that Simon & Gary. Just got back with the frame bar to go across Pierre also said that my take off is flawed because I should be leaning back as I move forward, letting the paramotor push me. I watch experienced pilots launch like this and I have to say this technique does make launching look so relaxed and easy. Will give it a try. Thanks again Cheers Dan

Just putting my PapPa125 away after a pleasant flight when I noticed that the ends of the prop were missing Please could you watch my launch with the volume turned up and in your opinion tell me what happened and whether or not I did something wrong.

A valid point well put. What pisses me off is seeing what a nation of wingers and complainers we've become. Mostly due to our vile press who's primary mission seems to be to keep the population scared and angry. When I flew microlights in Spain in the 90's, the lovely folks in my village wanted me to fly lower so that their kids could see me waving back at them. It's still like that in Spain. The kids and parents love you to fly low so the kids can wave.

No, not a 7mph wind, about 4knots. The sort of perfect forward launch wind speed. I guess that this sought of fast landing just takes more feel to keep level with the ground, and know when to flare fully. The problem has been that I have just been too inexperienced to have that feel in varying conditions to achieve any consistency, but I am slowly getting there. When I watch the other guys on slower non-reflex wings, they do seem to come in a fair bit slower which for the inexperienced gives them a little more thinking time. If I may offer a tip to any of the newer pilots experiencing this problem with the Revo2 or, I guess any other reflex wing: Try not to be tempted to land with trims at full slow, because in my experience, you still seem to come in fast, but have less oomph when you come to flare. A little bit of trim offers you more thinking time whilst still having the energy for that final full flare to actually have the desired effect of removing the last bit of ground speed.

Ouch, I feel the pain (in his wallet). Prop, cage, camera....a grand maybe?

Thought I'd put this here as anyone wanting a Revo2 can get a good idea of how it launches and lands from this video. Notice how fast and clean the wing comes up. [youtubevideo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2VFpdAG7Uk[/youtubevideo] Hope this helps someone Cheers Dan

Hi Paul I'm afraid I don't have a wing for sale, but I am wondering how you got your daughters interested in PPG. Did you groom them or were they just naturally interested? My girl is only 7, but I'd love it if she were to take an interest in the sport, obviously not just yet (thought I'd leave it another 6 months then send her up with the 3m power kite ) Cheers Dan

Just a quick clip of my launch/landing today. Although I keep hearing how slow the Revo2 comes in, I do not think that this is slow. Wind speed 4knts [youtubevideo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2VFpdAG7Uk[/youtubevideo] Simon?

Guilty as charged

What do people in Spain get? A bit countryist isn't it?

Seems like the ideal site for an extreme 'spot landing' competition. 1st Place - Live 2/3/4.... Place - Death Brilliant, saves on medals.

Excellent! Grimaced and laughed at the same time.

Welcome to the forum Better off with a used Rotax 532. Mainly because they have the reputation as being the best 2 stroke Rotax ever made. Consequently there are loads around, plenty of spares and lots of people that know them inside and out. Dan

Ooh I love a good stoning ... Are there any women here today? [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Just the best!!!

I'm pretty sure on sooo many levels that it's a clever fake

Same title, but different scenario.... Could do with this guy in my field [youtubevideo]http://www.youtube.com/zbfZxvsDp3c&[/youtubevideo]

Thanks for the quick response Simon

Simon, can I just ask, what software package are you using, and do you lose any/much of the quality in the process of editing? Cheers Dan

Well done Simon for being up there with Ebay, Online banking, a couple of weather sites, and of course 'Porn For Dummies' Keep up the good work dude. Dan
