Hi Steve, I only landed once so can't give an honest answer to how they compare. I did notice though that as I lined up for landing the first time when I let off the throttle I felt that I was going to glide straight over the landing site. I powered up and went around again. When I did touch down I felt that the brake lines were way too long and I caught my throttle on the cage netting for a moment. The speed of the landing felt no different to the Revolution but the Revo comes in steeper. Hope that helps Nick

Hi Guys, I have been reading all the posts with interest re the Nucleon and Fusion and thought I would post my feelings of a recent flight on a Nucleon. I would say that I am a cautious pilot, been fying since 1998 with only about 250 hours in that time. I weight 75kgs fly a PAP and Revo 26 combo. I am looking to change wings to a Fusion or Nucleon but would say that the extra cost of a Fusion will hurt my pocket more so am swaying more to the Nucleon. This weekend I flew my Revo then a 31 Nuc then a 31 synth. I was a little nervous to start on the Nuc as I had heared that landings are fast and the landing was on my mind most of the flight. The wing felt good and the first thing I noticed was the low revs of my engine. As soon as I powered off the wing did not fall like a brick it just seemed to glide. I had the sensation of being light on a large wing, it was just like paragliding again. I shut down the revs and went looking for lift and it was easy to find. I would like to get this wing out on a light thermic day as I feel it would be easy to turn off the engine and just go fly. It felt safe and stable but I would like to know how it compares to the DHV ratings on slow trim. I had a good flight and can't stop thinking about future possibilities. I flew for 75 mins and used a tad over 3 litres of fuel. The brake lines felt long and I could do with longer arms for the flare at touchdown. Next I flew the Synth. Easy take off an instantly felt at ease. It felt more like my Revo. I did notice much higher engine revs and that the glide was no way near as good as the Nuc. I flew much lower as my engine noise was higher and it was annoying me. I flew again for 75min and used almost 5 litres of fuel. That would be enough to stop me from buying one but what a superb wing for a beginer it is. Just my thoughts. Happy motoring Nick Robey

Hi Simon, Depending on the date I would like to go on the Dartmoor trip. Motor PAP, wing Revolution. Many thanks Nick Robey work no 01635 200442
