PARAGLIDERS, HANG GLIDERS AND LIGHTWEIGHT MICROLIGHTS! |  |
THIS SITE WAS LAST UPDATED July 4th 2009.
PRICES DOWN - JUNE 23rd! I have reduced the prices of Euro zone items by an average of 10%. The recent rise in vale of the Pound against the Euro has resulted in lower prices of our ranges from Charly, Firebird, Renschler and other European brands.
I may be unusual in believing that currency fluctuations can bring reductions as well as increases. However, in our silly media-led society, this improvement may be short-lived. Unfortunately this won't apply to Moyes products at the moment, because the Oz $ is still very strong, and if anything there might be increases.
I had a very pleasant first flight on the FB Phoenix this week, at the spectacular Beer Head, in company with former Firebird boss Matthew Whittal. Time spent with the "Weekend Warrior" is always enjoyable - the more so when Ariana and their daughters are about. We all flew, and ended the day tired and happy!
There has been much controversy about setting sprogs on high performance hang gliders, and I've written an article about it, which you can read in the "Articles" section of this web site. I'm not convinced that most owners are capable of adjusting their sprogs, I have found no correlation between the two currently accepted methods of adjustment, and strongly recommend that, if you must change your setting, use the manufacturer's approved method of measurement, and do't stray far from their recommended settings. |

I've changed back to "Simon Murphy's Flying Circus" because the name better reflects the nature of the business - now in it's 33rd year. ONLY the name has changed! Note that all payments should be to Simon Murphy's Flying Circus, please.
Being so well established, I have established an impressive array of distributorships for some of the World’s leading brands. I tend to be very loyal to my brands, and have been with most of them for more than ten years. Currently, we are the sole UK Distributors for:- |

Demand continues to exceed production, but right no (15.10.08) We have stock of everything. Normally some models are sold out - call for the latest situation. This can only get worse now Steve Uzochukwu's test report is in Skywings - he is very impressed - these CoMos make traditional instruments look and feel gross!

Rob Dowdell Chairman (and ex Secretary) of the RNHPC (for the last 15 years!)
"Firebird UK has supplied the Royal Navy HG & PG Club with a whole range of equipment over the 20 years of the Club's existence - varios, radios, tow releases, parachutes, harnesses and recently our 3 Litespeed-S and 2 Sonic hang gliders. They have also been our annual hang glider servicing agent for the last 2 years - we moved to FBUK after the demise of the Joint Services maintenance facility at Crickhowell. Simon and Martyn have provided us with a top notch facility since and as a result I am certain that our Club members are using equipment that is in perfect condition. There is no doubt that Firebird are streets ahead of the other suppliers that we have dealt with in the past in terms of quality of service - well done guys we intend using you for the next 20 years at least! Fly Navy."
