Apparently he had big pointy ears and was wearing a leprechaun suit so he shouldnt be too hard to find...

Forgot to add, my kicking sticks arrived today......yipee
Anyone want to give them a shot we will be setting them up in a big field in Derry as soon as the weather mends........
dont worry about low flying, they're 501 feet high
All we need now is the weather to mend again
Dean

Dean, I might pop over at the weekend and give them a kicking.... Might even get some flying done too...

Its nice to see a sense of humor back on the screens

Dean you mention he was wearing a leprechan suit, i put one on last year at the UK Nationals (Big green hat & beard) as well.
Poor Cathal bowed his head in shame but hey its all about having fun and it wasnt even Paddy`s day.

Enjoy your 501 ft sticks, you must have a huge field for those sticks

Fly safe,

OH and have fun,

Jason.

What advice on my question about economy tasks?

Oisin

Those 500' moving kicking sticks are not easy to erect!

just taken delivery of a brand spanking new Fusion Sahara .....after waiting over a month for delivery .....ordered on 24th April......hope it flys quicker than the post man ......will let you know what I think of it for what its worth when i get chance to fly it ....The weather has changed today...so it could be a few days yet.....I have kicked the girlfriend out of bed just for tonight so I get get to know my new play-thing

Gary-- would be very interested in hearing how you get on with the Fusion.... My Action is due for replacement soon....
What wing have you been flying previously?

skywalk scotch, is my latest wing. had a Mojito, Mescal & itv, and have had a few goes on the revolution, but its best not to talk about the roadster

well finally got the new Fusion out of its bag tonight ......carnt get it back in the bag though because of the plastic things springing the leading edge up all the time so I need to learn how to pack it differently than my old wing .....so my opinion on it and please remember its only my opinion..so dont have a go at me.......inflation no problem .....8 take offs out of 8 with no failures.....does not come up as quick as some wings ive flown and I also noticed on nearly all pull ups ( I was doing reverse )5mph the wing tips did not inflate untill the wing was nearly overhead ....but this did not seem to effect anything.....(take off trim position) a little longer run than normal but only a few yards ...a dab of brakes and we are up
....not what Ive been led to believe in all the reports needs quite a pull on the brakes to make it turn I was expecting a bit of a twitchy wing my Skywalk Scotch would run rings round it...dont get me wrong it turns quick but just not super quick,,,,it feels really secure in the air and I felt at home on it straight away...on fast trim its the bollocks I fell in love all over again,,,,,the tip stearing has not been fitted and I wont I can just reach up and pull the line and it works welland it turns ok with a bit of weight shift....... back to the landing zone and pull the trims back in and unclip the brake handles from the magnets .....try some wing overs 360 s just getting a feel for it.....yes I like it..... just a bit more effort to make it turn than I am used to but I will adjust to it landings are a doddle ....the grin will last for a long time just carnt work out why they reckon 40hrs + to fly this wing perhaps its the packing away ,,,,,and getting it back into the bag...
I need instruction on this aspect .
so there you have it my opinion..... .

Hi Gary,

Still made no decisions myself about upgrading the wing, but must get back to it!

I was not sure either why they rate it as an intermediate wing?

What size is your wing?

How did you find the climb rate?

Oisin

climb rate ok but not as high a rate as my scotch but thats a 28 the fusion is a 26....the glide is good I flew a revolution back to back with the fusion tonight....I am glad I bought the Fusion!!!!!!!

interesting point with the trims on the fusion they are marked ......slow -- take off-- neutral--- fast --- faster---- even faster----- even faster than that---- quicker than the nucleon

Oisin- is your current wing an Action or Revolution?

Mine is a 28m2 Revolution. My weight is 95kg

While I have always felt safe and have always been very happy with the wing speed / performance etc, I would like to move on to a more sensitive wing, that does not need such effort to tighten the turns!



I am certainly not looking for a wing that is too hairy or 'active' in recovery, but would like a wing that is economical enough, and not too small, as a result, but one that is more responsive!

As usual... I want everything
