Guest Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The speed of the landing felt no different to the Revolution but the Revo comes in steeper. Hope that helps Nick This is interesting, and you may find that a few more goes on the Nuc will find the same... but for me, the Fusion at least, lands way slower than the Revo. (maybe it is wrong to think they are similar?) [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer_Dave Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'll be a bit cheeky Simon. Slow that flare down a little. That's how you flare a Revo but not a Fusion perhaps. Better glide. Like Atis. That why I felt at home as soon as I flew one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Constructive is not cheeky Dave It was only my 2nd landing on the Fusion though SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kutyu Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hi! What is the fundamental difference between FUSION and NUCLEON? Which one are the friendlier one? I am sorry I speak broken English. I am thanking it very much thank you for the aid. kutyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom-vince Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 The safest answer is the revolution or synthesis is the friendlier one. If you are asking then chances are you are not ready. They are both more lively. Both have reflex stability, speed and glide. It's down to personal preferance as they both feel different.

dmpatanis Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hello,i have Nucleon 31 and Sky 100 paramotor. I want to help me and tell me the technique of how i can launching, in no wind speed. I try it with forward launch and the help of my motor but i take off at 7th try.Why?? What i must to do??? Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Different people have different reasons why they can not launch a given wing. The best option short of visiting a local instructor to help you, would be to post a few short videos so that we can see what you are / are not doing. Without this it's almost impossible to comment.

alan_k Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 A couple of common failings: Be committed to launch, no half measures, you must put in the effort to inflate the wing. Make sure the wing is above you and then FULL power. Make sure you are running in an upright position so the thrust is pushing you forward and not into the ground. Good luck, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_d. Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have a Nucleon 31. A couple of things, take a few steps back towards the wing so as to pick up some speed before the lines go tight, and secondly DONT look at the wing until you are almost at flying speed - know by feel when to lean back as the wing approaches an overhead position.

bholleran Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 One thing that I found with the nucleon, the manual says that the trims should be on full slow i.e. -5, but I found at this setting that the wing had a tendancy to hang back and then swing off to one side. I found that in exactly the same conditions that if i adjusted the trims up a notch or two i.e. -3 or -2 it came up much better. I assumed that it would have a much faster take off speed but to be honest I did not notice the difference. It also makes a big difference in a light wind reverse launch.

jcphoto Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have also had a few days test flying a Dudek Nucleon 31 and found it quite easy to launch in nil wind. I used my 'normal' technique for nil wind. Set the trims at '0' without knowing the manual's recommendation which is what the Reaction uses. Assume the crucifix position and bend forwards slightly and give a quick blast on power (to blow some wind over the wing to help it launch) followed quickly by knocking off the power and moving forwards to launch the wing. As soon as the wing is nearly overhead get the power back on to full blast and off you go. Leaning backwards while running certainally helps to lift off earlier. As long as there is no hesitation and movements are all continuous, not allowing the wing to slow down it works virtually every time. Good luck.

dmpatanis Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The teqchique in the video its "OK"???? for nil wind launching??? Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfergus Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I personally do not feel that amount of run up before the lines go taught is necesary or safe. I have seen slack line sucked up & tangled in the prop. If you can achieve the same momentum as the lines go taught from just a couple of steps backwards then that would be my choice. I also fly a Bailey V4 which is heavy so that probably influnces me as well ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmpatanis Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 When i go for landing i have set up the trim at "0"position and when i touch the ground with a little air e.g. 1bf my wing Nucleon 31 usually felt in front of me and no back.Why???

stuartasutherland Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 When i go for landing i have set up the trim at "0"position and when i touch the ground with a little air e.g. 1bf my wing Nucleon 31 usually felt in front of me and no back.Why??? Same for me, it's only natural in nil or low wind I assume that the momentum of the wing continues forward a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outkast Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I take it once you have flared and touched down you put your hands back up and let the brakes off? in wich case the wing will shoot forward, try keeping the brakes on with your hands down, if the wing still sits above you after landing then turn around and grab the rear risers and pull it down, the wing should now fall back on its rear.

dmpatanis Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hello, i was wondering in my Nucleon 31 if i want to do deap spiral or wing overs where i must have the trimmers??In slow, in neutral, or in fast position???? My paramotor have right hand propeller turn. Now when i want to do spiral i put the trimmer in neutral position but i think the turn is slow. What do you suggest me??? Thanks a lot.

morgy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi I would spiral on full slow. Or buy a Speedster you can Spiral on just the tip steering at any setting Even faster turning with brakes and tips on ful slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
