outkast

from what info I have gleaned so far , yes it is vince, its a doddle to launch, wich already makes it better than the old one, Clive has had Michells 32 for a while and says he could not believe how fast it was, its just as stable as the old nuc but is more reactive to the brakes, all things wich make it better for me anyway.

jealous

Francis, is that you

I did the alternate entry route, so the paper I sat may have been slightly different, I had questions on the catagories above plus navigation, I also had to do a cross country flight taking in four different waypoints, and a take off and landing, also had to show I could land within 20 metres of a spot on the ground

well said

get yourself one of these too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/13100955 ... =83&ff19=0

as above with the ankle support, saw someone snap an ankle recently due to flaring too high and coming down hard.

"There are no officials looking to build empires in the UK" you have obviously never met Francis

I geuss it depends on wich way your flying is going, if you want to start wanging it around low then you would proberly go for the GTX or the GTR regardless of your current wing, if you love the Nuc for it straight line performance and don't require too much "wangyness" then you are proberly best to go for the WRC.

you are not the only one who has said that Mark

Vince that's exactly what I did, I had a long chat with Alex last weekend about it, he asked what I like about the Nuc, when I told him he said go for the WRC. still going to try a GTX though

question is, whos in the wrong there?

But the nuc is a much better xc wing

I fly a nuc 29 also and have been thinking about changing, for me its a choice between the GTX and a nuc wrc, so far everyone i have spoken to who either owns who has flown both has said that if i like my nuc i should proberly get the wrc not the GTX

Briliant for tracking your route, I used it on Saturday to track my qualifying cross country for the BHPA power rating, you can set it up to send your track to your email address in KMZ form so you can display it on google earth, not tried navigating with it yet so may do that soon, and the best part its free!

Gorrila?

everything you need to know to pass the exam is contained in the pilots notes link I put up. trust me its all in there.

Simons right, they are not that hard, but you do need to have studied for them, as some of the questions are meant to catch you out

that's true, from what I have been told there are four different papers for the power rating. The questions have multipul choice answers, you put a tick in the box next to what you think is the correct answer.

The questions in that link bear no relevance to the ones I had to answer in the BHPA exam,

is the cord itself actually reeling out or is it always that length?

Give the BHPA a call, they will direct you to your nearest examiner, he will want to see you fly and check out your flying skills, he will then apply for your papers, they cover four areas, 100 questions, 25 on each subject , you can find the study material here: http://www.jfdiuk.com/pilotNotes/pilotNotes.html on joining the BHPA you are covered by their insurance, but only when flying in the presence of an instructor until you get the rating. you can find contact details here, http://www.bhpa.co.uk/ Tell them you are already flying a paramotor and want to take the alternate entry route and they will sort you out. good luck. Dave

just to add, if you already fly a paramotor and want to take the BHPA exam, you can do it through the alternative entry system

I did it 100 quid to join 10 quid for the exam, and no its not hard and will give you a much better understanding of all aspects of our sport.

yes mate, in the bailey frame, no price if you want it in other frames yet just seen this posted by morgy £5645 for a hornet in a bailey chassis inc QRP and £3285 for engine Plus Prop plus quick release prop Kit. No news from Parajet about zenith chassis backing plates etc etc.
