Thanks a lot. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 DMP The Nuc and GTX (stands for "Grand Touring X-country") are basically designed to do the same thing. I'm not understanding the need to switch. What are you lacking on the Nuk? Or if your just needing a change and a new wing that's different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom-vince Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Dave, go see Alex and Mike as they have both GTX and WRC. I wouldn't say one is better than the other but the feel from each is very different. You will find pilots who prefer one over the other and say that is the best. I prefer the GTX purely for the feel, it feels more alive and I enjoy that. A long time Dudek pilot might say its twitchy, where as a long time Paramania pilot might say the Dudek feels dull. It's all totally personal and calls into question not only what flying you want to do but how much of what type of feel you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Dave I will place money you won't like the GTX... I'm not saying it's a Bad wing before anyone Starts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom-vince Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I agree, Dave stuck in his ways, spending his flying hours under a nuke he will naturally go for the WRC. To me it seems pointless changing. I have also a few customers switch from nuke to GTX so truly my votes still out. Slalom is the next to consider as I read it's not just for slalom racing.

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.

custom-vince Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Is the WRC much better than the old Nuke? I haven't read any back to back comparison. What are people saying. I was under the impression it's a re-lined nuke with plastic rods in the leading edge. Is there more to it. I'm not doubting I know the wing has good performances, I was questioning the need to change from Nuke to WRC version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmpatanis Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 In Nucleon WRC we measure the body weight or all the equipment paramotor-wing etc???? For 80Kg body weight which one to choose???27 or 29??? I prefer the cross country flights with minimum fuel. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom-vince Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have a gtx22 and at the moment a nucleon 23m that will be interesting comparing size for size. I know not strictly the correct comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmpatanis Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 For cross country flies what is the best to be in the middle or in the lower range in Kg of the wing?? For the wrc??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
