norbertflyer Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I know Paul at AXB has flown these wings (searched forum) Specifically interested in the landing and take off characteristics due to it being a relatively small wing (for me, 92kg pw) and also the dynamic capabilities in flight. Let me know your experiences. I'll then make a judgement as to whether a demo on one (S) is in order. This will be a second wing to complement my 32sqm DHV2 PG wing which will still be used for thermalling flights. cheers, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff1968 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hello Richard, I fly an Apco Vista HP (s) & find it very easy to launch & land. I am only 63kg & fly my own designed & built Paramotor weighing in at 19.75kg inc harness. It is a very good cross country wing, i flew Pauls (AXB) demo, a medium as he never had a small at the time & felt very much at ease with the Vista HP. Being so light i decided a small was the way to go but to be honest i think you would need the medium, it is only 24.7 M. I have a short video of the launch on you tube: regards Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff1968 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello Richard, I fly the Vista HP (s), easy to launch, turns really well, very good cross country wing. It climbs well & is also less power hungry than some of the full reflex wings. Landing is easy, bleed off speed, good flare & thats it, no hidden vices. It is a very good cross country wing & if you look on you tube i have a short video. [Paramotor Launch] ( )I would go for a medium if i were you. regards Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Thanks for that Geoff, I did see that vid previously and looks great in the air. I am quite interested in the wing, so I'll book a demo. I'll take your advice on the medium, even though is a C rating rather than B, but it'll be a rating nearer my all up weight. cheers, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
