that was just plane stupid.

I find if you don't get a reply by e- mail then try calling the phone it can take a few calls sometimes to get through, this is referring to any communication please remember not all e-mails and text get through some are lost in cyber space forever I have always found Clive to be very helpful and good natured even when he has been flat out working and would recommend him and the bulldog to anyone. ( he don't do low hang point though!! Sent from my iPad 4 prototype using PMC Forum mobile app

Post it again then. Pete

I think it should be the first to pay gets in, as there will be some with their names down that will leave paying to the last minute then drop out . If you're entering then paying now should not be a problem. Pete

WOW and me now. time travel at last..

why are you both posting in April 2007?

Not sure about that Tony as it is a very busy airfield. Pete

From Sky paragliders This wing is covered by certification of Cima K2. It should be clearly stated on the label and will be modified accordingly. All the best Misha

Sounds nice.

I dont know him but he has good feedback and I would say he is with a school. Contact him and ask which school hes with and I can find out more then. Pete

I got a 46 synth you could use.

And the latest reply... Misha, at Sky, says they make it as OEM for Paraglider Mall (US inc) who own the design. Seems Dell has purchased the design of the K2 and Sky are making it for him. Provide he has not altered the line lengths or risers (beyond adding trimmers) it should perform just like a K2 with the same build quality and would be Afnor Standard so your man should have no worries if that really is the case

Happy to man a ground station and let others enjoy the fun

Just got this from a friend. The Dominator appears to be a K2 copy. Dell Shanze is reported to have a licence to produce the K2 now that Sly no longer do so. Where it is made or by whom no-one seems to know. It may be made by Sky for Dell or he may be passing it off as Sky because he has a licence. Whether it is a good wing or not is not easy to say without seeing it's build and checking it's flight character. The K2 is certainly a very good glider but even if it is made to the K2 pattern the line lengths may have been modified to re-trim it in some way so it could be a completely different character to the K2. I can find no record of any certification for it.so it is impossible to tell.

Well it aint here....http://www.para2000.org/wings/ So it could be a copy of something else.

Welcome to forum, Im sure there will be others along later to answer your questions ect. Pete

Yes

If you have loads of hours submit your log book to BHPA head office (Mark Dale I think) if you dont have a log book you will have to do a few flights for an assessment. then its the simple exams.

"simon, spigot and pete, you repeated history by jumping on it and telling us how the bhpa are so bad and selfish and how they exclude everyone who is not a member of their 'exclusive' club.... tut tut." Can you please show where I am anti BHPA? I am am have been a paid member since about 2004 and continue to be so. I just don't agree with the way they do some things so if thats bhpa bashing then perhaps I should not support them with my membership and really go to town on the bashing front. PLEASE NOTE SMILEY FACE.

will you have to be a bhpa member to spectate?

From what I can gather it is just competitors bhpa members

Or the could just all be very shy.

whats that all about ? Safety and not having to look after them, or a condition of the insurance.

Morgy I don't see anti BHPA I see pilots that for whatever reason do not want to join the BHPA as there are BHPA pilots that do not want to join the PMC. I have entered a few comps and think everyone should have a go just to see if it is the sort of thing that they would like. I fly for fun and found the comps were not fun due to the amount of prep for each task, pilots trying to interpret the rules to their own advantage and the very limited free flying window available to non comp pilots. Perhaps the Slalom will be more fun without the prep ect but my old bones heal very slowly these days and I know I would push it to the limit. I will get to come see one some time but it wont be before Xmas. Pete.

BHPA member wont be entering wont be attending.
