fuzzybabybunny Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm a newbie and the course that I want to take is offering a few secondhand wings that I can buy and train with. I'm 74kg and would like a wing that's good at both gliding and motoring. The ability to take tandem would be great but I'm not sure if a "do everything" wing is possible. I'm not looking for a sport wing just yet. Gin Bolero Sprint S Sungliders Smart Ozone Rush 2 S I'm not even sure how I should go about selecting a wing.

Guest Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Are you on a budget? I only ask because if your not, you can make your life 'nicer by finding a supplier with a better range of wings. Or a school with kit that you can use and learn on before buying anything. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW Oh, yeah, I guess I'm on a budget. But I'm in Auckland and there are only two schools here, so I guess selection is limited? Those are the three wings that they said would work for my weight. Are those wings not great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Personally i would stick to the "main" PPG brands.... Ozone, Dudek and Paramania.. you will find all those wings you posted about Very slow after a few hours, and will want to upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, being a complete newbie, how long do you reckon it'll be before I yearn to upgrade? I've read other articles that say sometimes a person stays with their first beginner wing forever?

christian Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I have an Ozone Roadster M (28m2) for £360 Good condition 200+ hrs Last checked March 2015 Always stored at home, away from damp and sunlight. I am am 80Kg. It was my first wing and I flew it for 4 years without getting bored. It's a nice safe wing, but slow by today's standards. I have just bought an Ozone Sirocco. PM me if you are interested and I can send you the report and some photos. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notch Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 You are going to need training. Do that first and worry about a wings later. I have a Ozone Buzz Power, which is a z4 with trimmers. Excellent for both PG and PPG. Okay a little slow for PPG, but nice and efficient. Tandem is pushing it on a single wing. IMHO For your first few years in PG, you should be looking at a low ENB, not a high B (like the rush). Stick to ozone, gin, nova... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
