Unfortunately from personal experience a large percentage of American training places are more interested in the bottom line than getting you trained safely and flying safely. Last I saw he pushed Edel gliders...not sure where they come from since they have not been made for many years. I talked to many trainers back when I was trained and turned away from many after just a five minute conversation. Finally found a good one and been flying ever since.

Andy,
You said in another thread you got a response from walbro that the WB series had not been tested. I was asking if they had done that series yet. I did look at the list on their site...not in that list I think.

Mark,
I park my Moster in the middle of October and do not fly again until at least April. I do not do anything special other than drain carb of gas ( ethanol free gas used only). I drain main tank in spring and refill and it usually fires off after a few pulls.

Andy,
This is what I have on mine, really small runs off a 2S lithium batt. I have the 360 version. My ground crew (wife) says she can see it long ways away when I am flying.

Hi All,
Ryan Shaw at Paradrenalin in Arizona sells some really nice single finger (index finger) toggles with swivels and magnets to replace standard toggles. I have used them from first learning. Work well with Parajet trigger type throttle as your index finger sits right in the groove at the top of the throttle out of the way.

Tonyparamotor,
Trying a wing before you buy is not always an option to everyone. I live literally 1000 miles away from the dealer I buy from and dealers are scarce in Montana and Wyoming. Same goes for rest of kit..do the homework. The local dealers/instructors (within 150 miles) push you to buy their stuff as none will allow training on their kit and would NEVER encourage the purchase of used equipment.

Hi,
I would not say I had a lot of experience with the Muse maybe 5 flights. Thing was I learned on Dudek Universal (reflex) and then got the Muse and found that it was not anything like the Universal so decided to go with charger based on reviews and help from instructor friend.

Hi,
Only one marginal landing and only because I was not expecting the speed increase while landing...nothing major happened or broke just did not land on feet mostly. Had the wing for almost a year and no trouble landing after the first one. I guess I expected it to land nice and slow like the the Muse did..my mistake. I would not go back to a Muse as this one launches easier in nil wind and handles much better. No complaints about it at all. I ordered mine in custom colors so I think I will have it for a while.

Solstice,
I have a charger and I have to say the landings are pretty fast compared to my previous MacPara Muse 3 wing ( non-reflex). But totally manageable...first time landing the charger was not pretty but i learned quickly to scrub off some speed with a tiny bit of brake coming in and it works fine.

Hi,
I have flown alone since I finished my training 3 yrs ago! I am the only PPG guy around for over a hundred miles in any direction. I don't really have any choice. But I always let people know the general area I will be flying in and what time I expect to be home. I do not do any point to point trips...

Hi all,
Just curious if there is anyone that makes a 3 blade prop for this engine. Not that I want one but I have seen them for most others just not this motor. Thanks in advance.
