Hi We are on the end ? the Very Very end of North Wales (Abersoch ) area .... The Next landfall is Ireland ...Just within reach maybe ?? Loads of take offs .............and lovely MT Beaches ..........get yourself over here one weekend........ pap 125.......... (The good one ) Skywalk Scotch

too windy and cold for me allthough Feb was still and warm "" ?? ?? I am off to NZ for a month !! I watched the Video on the pap site and said ENOUGH is Enough and got it booked "" you only live once ???

WEVE GOT THREE ROS125 UP HERE IN N/Wales One good, one bad ,and one that sits in the garage ??? the good one is very very good (never goes wrong) the bad one is bad very very bad (always goes wrong ) Siezed at the moment and the one that sits in the garage we dont know about yet... its one year old and still has the same fuel in the tank since new ???? and we just carnt talk the owner in to coming flying with us ....bad leg, ill, too windy, working, holiday, wing is wet, looking after the kids going out for a meal, car wont start., wifes got the car, shopping, doctors, ect ect ect

Good point !! The Scotch is not a reflex wing and so you do need to fly it active however I flew the roadster throughout the trim range but without speed bar when there was no reflex i found it a lot more unstable than the Scotch in the same wind when reflex was added it still stayed unstable but as you would expect very hard on the brakes to make it turn even with a high degree of weight shift ( I Fly a Pap Ros 125 ) so I can !!!! but with reflex added the front was trying to tuck ?? as well ....I found it very hard to control as it was pitching and rolling violently ?? so I suppose I was using the brakes a bit to try and control the wing.... the wind was a bit gusty and between 12 - 18 mph ... I also have used a Revolution in similar conditions all be it not on the same day and that wing (in my opinion) is in a different class its far better and did not worry or scare me .. the way the roadster did......as I say this is only my opinion of the wing so go ahead and try it but when the wind picks up a bit just be carefull on it !!!! it seemed ok to ground handle !! if you want to do that with a wing ? and ok when the wind was light..... but there is a lot better wings out there .......and I did walk away from the experience just....

I have tested the first roadster with the roll ??? and also have tested the one with the new line set up all I can say about it is that I PERSONALLY did not like the wing when I flew it it in moderate wind conditions it was trying to tuck all the time and it was all over the place.. I flew the same conditions the same day back to back with the wing that I normally fly which is a Skywalk Scotch and allthough it was not a nice flight I felt safe on it >>>which is not the case when I flew the roadster in fact my friends who were watching me when I was on the roadster said that it was the worst flight they had seen (since the ones at the homegrown festival 2006 which were in rotor) ... it felt that bad as well ...they said that the wing would kill me if I continued to fly it ....so it went back ..the dealer said it must be my style of flying that did not suit the wing and sugested that I did not know what I was doing ?? I pointed out that I had found out the roll fault on the first wing ???? just for the record I have flown around 10 different wings 4 different paramotors. have been flying paramotors for 5 years and microlights 10 years so I must have learnt something about the way things fly and feel in the air !! any way for what its worth thats my opinion maybe not what anybody else finds with the wing but if you do test fly it make sure your reserve has been serviced ?????????and best of luck
