lib Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hello folks, I am looking for a reasonably low hour wing that I could use for paramotoring and paragliding (seems a bit nuts to buy both and I understand there are dual purpose wings). I am about 75kg (without any harness etc.) I have £800-1000ish to spend. Anybody have anything appropriate? Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Paul I used to fly one of these , had it about two years it is a good duel purpose wing. I even did my SIV course on it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :MEBIDX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lib Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Does that look like a reasonable glider to you then (condition-wise - nothing untoward looking?) Thanks, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatboy Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yea it looks ok to me For what it is worth. I don`t think that you can tell the condition of a wing by looking at a few photos. I cant see inside the cells to check for any rips or burst seems? or what the lines are like! Have a full check service by Loft or Aerofix, if you buy it.

rob_jones Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I have an Apco Karma (2 years old) no more than 30 hours on it. I had it serviced by "the loft" in July (before I took the wing paragliding in the Alps) That cost £150 and it got an excellent rating. Its more of suited to Paragliding and I have never flown it with the engine. But I do see that Apco market them as dual wings. Its also a super safe DHV1 If your interested PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
