Stutts is a good guy. I have met and actually sat in one of his machines. He's top notch and will treat you like he knows you instead of just being a customer....
Hi guys, In the past I remember one of our member posted that he socked his wing in 50 lb barrel full with water and some kind of a cleaning detergent and his...
I don't think washing it will make it come up better. I you have had it awhile you might consider having it checked out by somebody. Cloud nine or Paratour...
MacPara Muse 2 size 28 Great everyday wing with DHV1 safety yet sporty enough to enjoy for years. Beautiful white with red leading edge Manufactured in 2006...
Atilla, Check to make sure you haven't got anything like sand in your wing. If you do, empty it. As far as more difficult to kite, what is probably happening...
I washed mine last year (it's 5yrs old). I don't know if I'll ever do it again. It was a major pain. It's very difficult to find a space big enough with...
Beery, thanks for the quick respond. My wing is only 2 years old and there is only 50 hours on it. Do you think it is time for a check up? Atilla Sent from my...
Rather than clothespins, I would go to a hardware store like Home Depot and get some light weight painters clips. They are a bit more expensive than clothes...
As far as applying "stuff" to your wing, we have a guy in the ballooning world who is a chemical engineer. You MIGHT have seen his balloons, he owns the giant...
Hi Everyone, I hope you all realize what a treasure Elisabeth is to PPG and all of you. Elisabeth is one of a kind when it comes to wing repair. I've worked ...
Last year I washed my Muse. I was faced with the same problem of how to suspend it. I didn't have a barn or hangar to do it in, so I made a wingwasher...
No need to buy clothespins or worse. Just use paper clips hooked to each of the brake attachment loops on the trailing edge. Late afternoon / early evening...
Atilla, 2 years is the recomended interval for a check. Not a bad idea. Still, unless the wing has been abused, it's not likely to be a porosity problem. ...
Hi Robin, Can't imagine why the line restretch would be an issue. For me it´s usually the easiest part. Are you attaching the bucket to the risers and just...
Mario, Yep, that's how I did it. Still there are a lot of lines! Robin "People weird enough to strap a fan to their butt are liable to do just about...
I don't have a MacPara Muse manual in front of me, but I thought it was something like xxx hours OR 2 years. While 50 hours isn't a lot of time, if the wing...
Well, it's offical. I logged .3 hrs and 2 landing in my logbook today. After 2 1/2 years since I sold my weightshift ultralight, it felt wonderful to be back...
Atilla, The suggestion about getting your wing checked out by an expert is very good advice. I recently had my wing inspected by Elizabeth at the Paratour...
Berry,Atilla This past winter I had the pleasure of watching what actually goes into a wing inspection at Eric's Place when visiting. It's amazing the amount...
Good job Andy! I fly the Axis Power Pluto 21 and wish they made it one size down. Glider sizing is very important and unfortunately the trend is still too big...
Hey Jeff S. A.K.A. Allen Bresden, the thing you ALWAYS forget to mention in your promoting of smaller wings, is the fact that you only weigh 71lbs soaking...
HAHAHA.... Funny Mike, Jeff is right, it did launch easy, its hard to tell stubborn old Swedes like myself anything... I still like the larger wing for crusing...
I DO NOT weigh 71 lbs! I weigh 75, I just checked it. My 200 pound fellow pilots are all having the same flying results on the Pluto 21 with identical...
Hi Lance! I remember being there while you chased me in a go-cart! But his name is Beery, not Berry, and her name is Elisabeth Guerin, not Dufour, but she is...
