Skydragons News - 24/3/06

WEBSITE. I've been working on improving the website and added more propellers and general accessories to the online ordering pages, I've also been working on the spares pages for the TOP80 where shortly you will also be able to order your TOP80 spares online. I'll also be bringing online a clothing order page. I'm about to start up a photo gallery, so if you have any photos that you think are particularly interesting or just well taken then I will be more than happy to appraise them for inclusion. The subjects I'm interested in are good shots of wings, paramotors, flying sites, clouds / sky, people, what I would like to do eventually is make an illustrated directory of anything and everything that is of interest to PPG pilots. Send me your pictures with a description and I'll do my best to include them.

 

PRODUCT NEWS.

DUDEK. I am now a dealer for the fantastic DUDEK Re-action power wing. Designed for experienced PPG pilots (Performance rated) it is great for the experienced and keen petrol head wanting to get the most from their wing. For the majority of us The DUDEK NEMO makes a great first time wing, as indeed does the tried and tested PAP Motion (alias Powerplay Sting) or the well proven PAP Racing (alias the ITV Tomahawk).

PPG Trike Z. This is an exciting new trike for PAP PPG. Made from tough stainless steel to match your PAP machine it assembles in a few minutes with no tools and packs away in its storage / transport bag just as quickly. Designed to accomodate all PAP machines it only weighs in at just over 14kg for the Solo version. The Solo version is foot launchable to keep it within UK regulations. It has some very nice features for a lightweight trike, such as a telescopic sprung front fork to help iron out a bumby take off strip, and a front wheel splash guard to help avoid getting mud (or worse) in your face! The foot steering head features a choice of foot positions and has a self centering facilty and the frame is adjustable for length to accomadate the ducks and storks amonst us!. For more experienced petrol heads who prefer to get their pleasure with a partner rather than by themselves, it is easily converted into a 2 seat machine. It is really well finished with all tubes and nuts being plastic capped. The really nice feature about this trike is the price, at only £1,150 inc vat it is also probably one of the most competitively priced trikes you can buy. The tandem conversion kit is £575 inc vat.

PAP Paramotors. Well the factory introduced the ROS 125cc machines and because of a shortage of engines brought into production a ROS 100cc machine and has just as quickly as good as discontinued it as ROS can't say when they can deliver more 100cc powerplants! Delivery of 125cc machine continues to dribble through with delivery times currently around 8 to 12 weeks depending upon supply. On the other hand the TOP80 has no problems with supply with delivery if not in stock at around 3 to 4 weeks. The latest TOP80 models are truly nice little powerplants with plenty of power to lift pilots over 15 stones (95kg) of the deck in nil wind. Well proven to be reliable and economical with a good longterm spares backup it is one of the best choices you can make when choosing which powerplant to have in your PAP paramotor. I'll be endeavouring to stock more machines than I have in the past, but pesky customers keep buying the darn things before I have a chance to lay my hands on them, not that I'm complaining mind!
