    Dudek recommends a minimum of "200 hours paramotor time and at least 80 hours of annual flight time" before flying this wing, but I had flown just over 100h when I decided to try it out. At my all-up weight, I was right in-between the "standard" and "experienced pilot" range, so the wing was definitely agile! I didn't feel overly scared, but I did feel it was beyond my comfort zone. I guess I could grow into it, but because I fly a lot of XC with my friends, I didn't feel good flying this wing hands-off while trimmed in - it oscillated a bit (or maybe it's just because I was flying at 13:30 in the afternoon). Trimmed out, it was like a train, really good and stable, giving me confidence even through turbulence. It could be my next wing, for sure.

    Yup. My first wingover, having been flying a Charger for a while, had me over the top much easier than I anticipated. It was eye opening. Dumping trims is another fun one. Asymmetrically can get exciting really quickly. ~8^)

    Nice one!!! Which one did you prefer between the Hadron 3 and the Nucleon 4? What were the main differences according to the test you had?😊

      I'd think it's going to be really agile (for my standards), but you must have a bigger engine than my 80 cc, so climbing won't be an issue - it's a very efficient wing! Just take your time to learn how the wing responds to the commands and you'll love it!

    What did you think of the nuc4? Saw in the description that you got to try it

    • @MyNameIsJef
      @MyNameIsJef  3 роки тому

      Hi Richard, yes, I flew both sizes. They're superb wings! very stable (no oscillations), fairly fast, really easy to launch, and more tame than the Hadron 3 (or xx), though the nukes were bigger sizes. Overall, I'd rather buy a Nuke 4, but I tested another wing that I decided to go for. I'll post a video later 😉

      Thanks, man! 🥳 I've been flying a 2015 Dudek Synthesis 29m (one size too big for me, actually), so it felt like a balloon in comparison to the wings I've tried! 😅

      That's exactly what I thought and that's why I didn't buy this wing! 😅😅
      I never bought a motorcycle for the same reason - I tend to get a bit too confident and that's a recipe for disaster 😂😂
