I really enjoy your videos and especially your reviews on the wings. I'm trying to decide what my next one will be and was looking at the Hadron 3 and Viper XC but not sure if they would be to hot for me? Have 160 flights on a heavily loaded Flow Cosmos power. I like to do a lot of carving but also hands off cross country. Just turned 51 a few weeks ago so takeoff speed is a serious consideration as I age. Would I be better off progressing to a Sirocco 3 or a Nucleon 4 or just go for the H3 or Viper XC????? That is the question...... Keep the videos coming! Additionally my current wing is extremely fast but not very lifty. I fly with a guy on an H3 and we are about the same speed for reference but he doesn't burn near as much fuel as I do.
Everyone is different for wings. I progressed from Spyder to Sirocco to H3 to Viper. For me, I needed that progression. Don't go to a wing you might not be ready for. Age and ability play a factor for sure. My 54 year old instructor would say his landing gear is out of warranty and you can't get parts any more.
Been asked many times about the setup. I use a Rode GO Lavalier mic plugged directly into media mod. Mic placement when talking, wind protection, and throttle timing are key. I just don't want to sound like the AM radio in my grandpa's truck. This works for me.
I haven't done anything with it yet. I've had offers to buy it and suggestions to get it repaired. I'm just waiting for now but a video for everyone to see sounds good. In the meantime I ordered a new one.
In my defense, that tree was fascinating...
Never stop learning, but definitely don't drink a lot of water prior to flying.
No plan. Good luck with that. What could go wrong? Have someone hold your beer!
No shade thrown on Judson but I enjoy your content just the way you do it. Carry on.
Thanks for the accolade, I'm glad you enjoy these!

Great video. was wondering what you use for your mic.?, your voice is very clear, was wondering what your setup is.

Did you ever make a damage report for the viper? Curious the damage and how much it costs to repair it if that’s what you’re doing with it

What race track was that ?, I missed it. Great videos, enjoy watching
It's called G2 Motorsports Park, located by Westminster, Tx.
Where are you flying? I heard you say something something, Texas.
North Texas area. That town is Van Alstyne.
It's two days later. Did you get it yet ?
Today my friend! Today!
urolotreegist. Just making a house call. Did my best spelling a made up word in my head.
Ha! Good word. It's good to have a choice of LZ's in the area for just such an emergency.
