Today I got this from a friend who is in the Police in Somerset. "I’ve had to investigate a pair of low flying paramotors near Langport. I’ve seen the video of them and can’t even tell the wing colours....... Ultimately they were flying legally but very low and hedge hopping, and caused a mini “stampede” with his dairy herd, that’s the bit that made him complain. I think I pacified him enough by turning up and explained the laws to him, so he is a bit happier. He has asked me to respectfully put a message out for pilots to be extra careful when low flying to prevent a recurrence. Any chance this could be put out on PMC. No need to mention names, but maybe Somerset Levels. I have been speaking to ********* as I know he flies nearby, but it wasn’t him." So to keep it short and sweet, if you are in the area flying it's most likely best if you avoid this farm / area for a while or at least consider the livestock a little by flying higher to get past them.

Super reliable, nice powerful machine. Viewing is recommended. £3500 is what it's worth Contact me on 07983 428 453 for pics / info / or a viewing. SW

@Pete S is the man for that SW

Not sure where you are but we have a 24 here you are more than welcome to test fly SW

Massive thanks to all those who sent me a PM (as requested on the post) I will be sending out some messages to those that did over the coming day's with further information / and some information that I will need from you as a part of this process. There is one part of the security forms that I am going to fill in for those who are picked, which may filter some of you out so if you have sent me a PM and have a criminal record pretty please let me know now (by PM). Only those with a clean record will get past the checks and it will cost both time and money for us to find that out later down the line. Many thanks again to those that did. SW

I suspect that there will be a ground based EV which carries more than one battery to allow for an almost permanent charge cycle BUT that IS a guess. I don't think for a second that we now have a motor that can produce 22bhp from a standard 9V for 8 hours or a standard 9V battery that can run a 22bhp motor for a day that's for sure This will be a logistical expedition rather than a 'how long can I fly for without a piss (or pissing myself), type expedition' It will be very much 'normal' IMO but I am still super happy that things are heading in that direction. (its just better, nicer, cleaner, not just the environment but your hands, car, kitchen, bedroom or where ever you store your motor for that matter. SW

Off to a decent start SW

Great intro lol Welcome to the Paramotor Club and thanks for the support. SW

Awesome guys!! I honestly think this is a worthy adventure and also something in the UK which involves a Paramotor and is super positive and most likely to be the single largest exposure of our sport / toys to the UK general public since the Bear Grylls Everest thing which was not a happy vibe expedition / edit. Keeping this positive and showing our support as a community is I think a humble offering in return for the all round good I think it will be doing Again, thanks guys.. SW

As you will I am sure soon notice, Sacha Dench is dusting off her kit and flying around the coast of the UK on an Electric Paramotor! The PMC are supporting this event in whatever way we can. ( I will be helping with some ground support on the Electric bike ) The link below has a cool little video explaining what's happening and why, on the page is also the chance to donate / get involved. It would be ace if we could collectively support this as I think that it will do masses of good for the sport in the UK sending out a super positive message to I suspect EVERYONE in the country link>> Round Britain Climate Challenge <<link SW

Heated garage!! (starting to think you could be a closet snob! lol ) Even at this time of year my garage is somewhere from 6c - 8c in the morning SW

The subject wont come up during your mortgage application and will have no effect on the result. As above, separate the two things. Buildings insurance however can some times be a term of the lender. SW

Buy some Aspen and store it with that in the carb https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274568267425 (can also be purchased from most mower repair type places) It will protect all the rubbers and such and it will start in the spring with no dramas SW

Welcome to the Paramotor Club! We currently have a couple of annoying blips with the software (fix one thing and it causes another thing) lol Well done for finding your way in!! SW

That's a clever temporary get around I am just waiting for one more bit of advice from Tec support before hitting the 'see if it works' button SW

An update: We have sussed out 'why' now I just have to suss out how to solve the issue. It's something to do with the 'Theme' being used as default from the new software install... I am on the case and expect there to be a fix in place by the end of play today. SW

Roger that guys, I have submitted a tec support form and they will be on it soon I am sure SW

What is is you are trying to do? SW

The image above shows you as logged in Chris. ? The + will allow you to add content.. I know that the software guys are trying to produce an actual app for everyones forums so I think the site when viewed in a browser is starting to head in that direction. You should be able to do everything that you could before though.. I will take a look at the phone browser settings this morning SW
