  1. Thanks Steve, If my instructor has no problems with me using the HP then I feel I'll be as confident as I would with any other wing, I wouldn't want to compromise my safety at any cost but it would be nice to use the wing as intended. Could anybody advise what wings fly like when you're at the bottom end of the weight range? The HP I have is intended for 100-165kg, my up weight will be about 120kg.
  2. Thanks people, I guess I'll need to buy another wing to get in the air with but for now I'll continue to use it for ground handling, it's a shame because I get on so well with the HP on the ground. I feel another expensive year coming on
  3. Hello forum, I'm in possession of an Apco Thrust HP, it's a medium wing, I'm 75 kg's and it's a heavier motor I'll be flying with (Bailey). My wing has a manufactured date of 2008 and is the earlier version without the Stabilo steering. I'm quite sure the weight range for the wing is 100-165kg. My question is how suitable is this wing for a beginner who's learning and what would it's characteristics be in the air for a pilot of my weight and experience? I've ground handled the wing and it seems much easier to handle than the wing I used when I had my ground handling lessons. Thanks.
