Wow you have been flying in some lovely places. Nice!! Thanks clive

Its ok hes in rehab now> poor donkey [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Thanks Clive

[youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Thanks Clive

We would have to fly the beer in by helicopter !! Thanks Clive

Good to see what they get up to in comps! http://vimeo.com/18238618 Thanks Clive

Sounds good to me , Snowdonia is one of the places i want to fly so count me in. Thanks Clive

The shot on mankinis nipples!!

Very nice !! Will have to come and visit soon me thinks. Thanks Clive

Acording to the manual you can B- stall all be it hard to do. Or do they mean not possible, but then show you how you do it anyway. Thanks Clive 3.4.3 B-STALL Executing a B-stall on a Nucleon is very hard due to specific suspension lines location in stabilizers area. To enter a B-stall, simultaneously pull down both B-risers (red tape) by 10 – 15 cm. The canopy will collapse across the entire span along its B-row, the airflow over top surface will break and canopy surface will be decreased. Forward movement will be almost completely stopped. Further pulling B- risers is not advised, as tests have shown it to increase wing instability. If the canopy forms a horseshoe with both wingtips in front of the pilot, gently apply both brakes to recover. To exit a B-stall, the risers should be released in a smooth and decisive manner. On quick and symmetrical releasing B-lines the airflow will be reinstated and the wing will surge forward, returning to normal flight. In In contrast to standard paragliders, in case of Nucleon there is no need to counter this surge with brakes - yet another asset of the reflex profile! CAUTION: See the PARACHUTAL STALL chapter. All rapid descent techniques should be practiced in smooth air and only with sufficient altitude only ! Full stalls and spins are to be avoided as recovery procedures, of the extreme manoeuvres, since irrespective of paraglider type they may have dangerous consequences! BY FAR THE BEST TECHNIQUE IS SAFE AND CORRECT FLYING, SO THAT YOU WILL NEVER NEED TO DESCEND RAPIDLY! 3.5 AEROBATICS Nucleon was not designed to do any aerobatics.

Merry xmas everyone Thanks Clive

Had to put this on here thought it was well funny, and its got a bit of flying in there to . Enjoy [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Thanks Clive

Dave how strong was the wind blowing when you landed in the strong wind. I flown in about 15mph and landed pretty quick all was ok, with no problem with the wing. So i was wandering at what sort of wind speed would start to colapse a reflex wing. I generaly fly below 10mph but sometimes like you say you can get caught out. Thanks Clive

But from what i can gather people have been flying reflex for years and never had a colapse. So isnt it more important to not have the colapse in the first place. I know its better to know how to acively fly but i bet most people dont know how to do it that fly reflex. Especialy when you first start out , so for me to fly my synth im confident its not going to colapse. And if i get thrown about on landing or take of i would just try and fly it straight , and keep it safe. I would not of thought a siv coarse would not be necessary. And hopefully as i get more experienced i will naturaly start to adjust to my wings needs. I wonder how many people on here have experienced a colapse on a reflex or have done a siv coarse. Thanks Clive

Your all going to burn in Hell Love del

I apreciate that, but for us folk who cant actively fly we can use full reflex and enjoy the flight. I only fly in pretty benign conditions anyway. But if it does get rough you can let your wing do its thing. i would like to learn a bit more about active flying but do i need to with a reflex wing ? Thanks Clive

These wings realy are super safe, he cant colapse the wing in full reflex that does make me feel safer up there. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Thanks Clive

No i swaped it for a ros 125 , It had a slight bend in the frame but thats all sorted now. Yes roll on summer time dont like flying in all this cold.!! Thanks Clive

Very nice makes me want to go flying!! Thanks Clive

My first flight to check my hang points on my pap pa 125. Have flown it since but thought i would stick it on here, not the best landing but im geting better. Many Thanks Clive

My last flight just before the site went down!!

Thanks Mat i enjoyed that flight. It was a bit cold around the old cockles, for my liking, but it was nice to see hadleigh castle from above. Thanks Clive

Mat you could go a synth 29 weight range is 95-120. Another 4 mtrs of cloth above your head would make for slower landings. And you would still have the speed there if you needed it. Thanks Clive

Nice.. Is that easy to set up ? Are you using the go pro? Thanks Clive

I think you have put the wrong link in, it goes straight to upload. Thanks Clive

Not sure if its been on here before but made me smile and cringe. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Thanks clive
