Herman,

Welcome to the forum.

What happened..? You have a change of heart? Hope you are not abandoning the game altogether? Never heard of the wing before?

Oisin

Hi Oisin,

This does look unusual - especially the wing. The Para-Avis Acrobat is a Russian wing first released in 2002. And there's no record of them releasing a "42" which would be a tandem wing. The do have a "24" but it was never certified. The "31" (i.e. my size!) was certified CEN Standard.

Herman - please could you clarify this - when was the wing manufactured and what size is it?

Cheers,

Hi Darra

Thanks for all your info i made a mistake on the wing the wing is 34
and no there is no certification but does cert do any thing but push the price up ? This is a very stable and forgiving wing i believe.

Now onto my next question where do i fly in the dublin area could anybody give me some info i think i am gonna fly this baby 2 morrow

Kind Regards Herman
