Willy Bee no...most certainly a high intermediate to advanced. Wing loading will have a large affect on that range. With Niviuk the Link 2 and Qubik would be better options.
@SmittySmithsonite4 жыл бұрын
@@willybee3056 - As an intermediate rated wing, it might not be the best choice for most beginners. Also the 16m^2 size Tucker is flying here is a little sporty as well. Beginner wings are more forgiving if you get yourself into a bad situation - they will recover on their own with little or no input from the pilot. Intermediates will require PROPER pilot inputs to recover, while expert wings will NOT recover without proper inputs. I have no experience, but have done lots of reading over 2.5 years, so take that with a grain of salt.

Tucker I got a used 2017 mojo 5 wing, The brake handles lines, I think are in the wrong place cause it was changed from snap on brake to magnetic brake. So once it tied on to the brake handle, how many inches of the line should be left sticking out as leftover line from the tied spot? When I kite the wing it seems there is a lot of slack in the brake line. as of now I only have an inch of line left from the tied spot. It seems to me there should be about 4 inches. I know u have a mojo could you tell me how many inches u have left hanging out from your brake handles so I can use that as a reference.

My suggestion is to go for a tandem flight with an instructor prior to purchasing any gear. If you land and can't wait to go back up, you're probably going to be just fine.
