  1. The best thing would be to set up the wing so that you lay it out on grass and perform a launch from that positioning if possible. Same as any wing its how you treat them, if i was doing ground handling i would only do so on grass and at the same time i would not kite it in strong winds which would mean a lot of hard hits against the ground if colapsing to build a wall etc. Best is to be getting a second hand wing for that, preferably a roadster which has very similar characteristics and can be a no fly wing for kiting and groundhandling only.
  2. Can always add weight to the pilot for ppg and get the larger wing, carry a full fuel load etc but always best to discuss with a certified instructor
  3. Good question, has this got a en rating? Or does it fall under its heavier weighted cousin as this is just a lighter version.?
  4. Hi all just starting into the world of pg and then ppg. Had a nasty mountain biking accident two months back and snapped my leg in half, going to get into pg first whilst building strength into my leg then going to go for a top 80. Live down in devon on the border but work up near Cambridge occasionally and in london as well. Pre this injury was going to go for a small zenith but lightweight is what I feel I need Now!
  5. Have you got a local instructor you can go to at All? There are lots of considerations as you should know, height of normal takeoff, normal weather conditions, mainly pg or ppg, if ppg what size/weight of motor have you got/are getting, have you considered weight of other equipment/accessories you may have? What is your weight...
  6. Hi all, big fan of the sport and after 3 years of constant interruptions I am finally taking the first steps into the sport, the ozone spyder is one that has been recommended to me as I have a slight scratch below my left knee... I having looked into all of the beginner type wings, have decided that this Wing will allow the cross over of both pg and ppg, plus ease of use and handling with a motor on my back, there may be better wings out there for a total beginner but I think that the lightweight market will be the next area to be developed so am happy choosing this Wing...
