this guy just seems like a complete monkey .
for someone who thinks he is the best with the best kit in the world I would be expecting only the highest standards . And safety to be the main priority.
There are old pilots, and bold pilots. There are no old bold pilots....
you have just given me an idea for a site .
Will speak with the land owners soon see if its possible .
your paragliding mate could come along . if the wind is in the right direction of course ..

I think this could be the answer to the people who have wanted a fuel gauge for there motor .
Chees jim
if you e-mail me on the address that i will send you by Pm then i can inform the people here .
If you can add a little map with the area or track you are opperation on then that makes it better cheers jim
I agree they cannot avoid everywhere but if they know paramotrs are operating in a certain area at a certain time then at least it gives a bit of warning to the flight crews and means they can keep there eyes open ..

I sent an e-mail to Be-lite to ask if they are could make one of there altimeters that went beyond 1200ft . and have been told to watch this space .

If you guys are planning anouther flight like this.
And like HAZE did, had an encounter with a Chinook Please let me know and i will inform Station Ops here at odiham of where you guys are likely to be taking off from and where your going to .
Then at least they are aware of your precence and can look out for you .
Even better if you can give me a rough idea of your track and turn points If you have any .
All in the name of Flight safety .
Thanks jim
gents
can a microavionics headset have two different types of radio connected or do they have to be the same . Obviously when using the optional second radio lead ..
