neilzy you no me ask Nigel at UKPPG he will tell you all about it

The wind speed was about 10-12 knots with trims out less than half way on a Nuc. The wind direction was more off the land than sea. Were I crashed the nearest building was 422 meters (that info came from the CAA) I was not to hard on the brakes in the turn turning to my right. On the camera you see the left hand side of the wind fold in and then you hear me power up to gain height do you think it would of been better if I had stayed of the power as I can't remember it going into a spin. Thanks for all your advice and best wishes and hope this has not put me off.

Hi S1bull Yes got all my equipment back after a week the frame is beyond repair but engine if fine. I have only been flying 18 months so not a lot of experience. Don't think it has put me of but time will tell when I am fit enough to try. I would love to no why the wind did collapse but I assume they could be loads of reasons. Anyone no of a good frame the mostor 185 motor would fit last one was EC extreme fancy something different.

Hi All This was me who crashed on cleethorpes beech. I was flying low along the waters edge but if you no cleethorpes beech the the sea retreats well out at low tide. I was flying into wind and not getting anywere fast so did a sharpe turn down wind and you can guest what happen next I got asymmetric collapse. Being only 50-60 feet high wing never recovered. I think i got away with it only breaking my ankle. I am on the mend with pins and plates now in the ankle but hope to be walking within the next 3-4 weeks. As for the CAA they did take my kit for inseption and also took mesurements were i had crashed. They were happy with the distance from the promenade and no action was taken.
