really? I thought he had ... still worth a call..Im not sure who does in this area then..

Will Hi! Sorry Only just seen your post I live in South brent - Malin & I have just atsrted up a local south devon club with a forum. There are a few of us about but as yet not really got going yet. However we will be having our first meet and fly in on Sunday 25th November (Venue TBC but probs the Turtley Mill Inn in Avonwick). Even better - contact Dan at Freshbreeze who is a PPG teacher (based in Exeter): http://freshbreezeuk.com/freshbreezeuk/Home.html

Interesting morgy - initially wondered why - good idea..

Cheers guys. Contacted Dan who's going to pay me back, fairplay

Received my Revo2 a few days ago which I bought through Dan my local dealer but it was sent direct to me. Just been sent a bill by Fedex for £58.71 Theres a 2nd sheet which is titled 'Supplementary Declaration Acceptance Advice' with a load of bullshit numbers beneath making no real sense. Anyone come across this before?

I wouldn't rely on an app on an iphone personally. I have a Flymaster GPS - brilliant thing. Ive set it up to tell me where I took off from (follow simple arrow), height above take off, flight duration, wind speed and direction, vario diagram. altitude and time. I can put waypoints in easily enough - well worth the money. David

like it - I'll try that - thanks! I got a nice big stuff bag from paramania also..

Stevie with all my other wings (some with mylar one with just nylon rods) I fold pack loosely and keep in stuff bags putting no pressure on the leading edge. I have done the same with the revo but it does have much more reinforcement in the intakes - both nylon rods and mylar strips - should I really concertina it? I find concertina a real phaff and dont think it necessary on my smaller wings or a wing with rods onl;y - but this wing may be different what you reckon?

Oh yes..had it on slow to just above neutral and back again. Actually they adjusted very smoothly no probs at all - both at the same point. Alot of strapping flapping about but all good.

Ok stevie..its inly my first 2 flights on her so early days..a few more landings to come! On the revo2 that is...

Great stuff everyone and dave, yup good points. I have a parajet volution2 macro and the chassis is defo biased for torque. Ill switch off and just use weght shift coming in. Dave we have a new club in the area, we have a website but our communication is via a yahoo group. We have arranged a first meet and fly in on 25th november. I have managed to secure a number of launch sites..to be discussed! Could you pm me your email address and we can invite you to the group. Its quite quiet on there at the mo but hopefully with time and effort ? David

Awesome simon! Thanks for the tip. Coincidentally i am in princtown now on a job. Will pop into the pub for a chat

After sorting my landings on the PG wing with a motor, I had a couple shit landings on the new Revo (nothing too dire). One thing that happened both times was I would keep banking left slightly coming in. Nothing to do with wind (nil wind, and I was dead on). So I thought it was a torque thing cos I kill the engine just before landing and thought a deaccelerating prop my give some sort of weird torque effect. This morning I had a mini eureka moment in the shower ...the whole chassis and harness is set up for bias weight shift to the left no? So, by killing the motor I'm giving myself weightshift to the left??? Correct or no? What do you do, kill your engine or not at all. I'm going to try both next time - but when killing I'm going to do it much earlier so I can prep for a little weight shift right....I reckon that I may start to keep tick over on and kill once feet hit the ground.. Any suggestions?

South Brent - got couple launches in the area around the clay mines My next trip it to head further north to the huge TV aerial next to princetown then turn right and buzz around Fenworthy reservoir & forect before heading back downwind Malin & I have just set up a new club.

Some great ideas guys, thanks, just got back from an hour flying around burrator reservoir..hand and feet held up real well. I have a merino base layer, 2shirts, fleece, jeans, full lined flying suit, jacket, balaclava, helmet, thick socks gloves,and mountain boots on. Stil didnt get too hot and its only around +6 or so! Gonna look like a real gimp when it gets really cold

So, any tips for flying in very cold weather? Okay, obviously dress for the occasion but just wondered if anyone has any incredible tips/experience to pass on.. How long are your flights at these temps?

Thanks steve

I'm on it!! remind me - any particular type is good? size of thread?

My new baby arrived last night....pphhwwoooaaaarrr!!! cmon wind bugger off...Saturday looks good..

'Aim to miss' as my motorbike instructor once told me..
