Thanks Dave, I will pass that on to Matt. I have also put Pete B in contact with him as well. Cheers for your help everyone. Peter

Pete and Simon, Many thanks for your replies. I will give your details to my friend who is taking ownership of this paramotor. I am out of the country at the moment but I look forward to flying with you guys when I get back in December. It is now in my garage and ready for him to collect when he wants it! If you hear of anyone wanting to sell a Revolution 26 in the coming months can you tell me? As I posted above, keen to have a good second hand wing to get some more hours on before I upgrade to something like the fusion. Peter

I am planning to get a new engine soon so I will be passing on my old motor to a friend who is going to start flying. Simon, you will probably remember the engine I am talking about - an old Vortex one, with a SOLO 210 engine that was a bit 'temperamental' to say the least. Well, it needs a bit of an overhaul / modernisation and I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone fairly local (Swindon / Lambourn) who might be able to do the following work: - supply and fit a new carb (Welbro, probably) - supply and fit an electric starter motor (the engine mounting has the bracket ready for the starter motor but it the frame may need some welding to create a bracket for the battery) - new throttle system (including cables, handset, ignition / cut off switches) - new fuel lines throughout (old ones looking a bit ropey In due course it will need new props, Volution Compact will fit, but not urgent. Grateful if anyone could pass me the details of anyone who could do this work and I will pass them on to my friend. By the way, I will also be passing on my old wing and so I am in the market for a good second hand wing like the Revolution 26, to go with my new engine. Eventually I will probably get a Fusion but I want to get something more approriate for an intermediate / beginner so that I can get he hours up first. I learned to fly on a Revolution so that would be ideal. Thanks Peter

A shame, hopefully one day... I hope that someone else will post a review soon!

Eagerly waiting your review! How is it?

Good luck with the long XC flight! Where do you take off from in Hereford? I have flown from a grass strip near Belmont, and from Westhope Common.

Anyone planning to fly tomorrow (Sat 22nd)? Met Office website predicts winds to be low in the morning, but a bit gusty in the afternoon. Peter

Simon, I am hoping to get my first flight from the flagpole soon. Winds look a little high this weekend but I am off work all of next week, so fingers crossed. Not sure where the Flagpole is though, is it the grid in the sticky at the top of the page? Thanks Peter

Is it possible to change usernames?!

Guys, just a quick one to introduce myself. I am moving to Shrivenham, near Swindon next week and would love to meet up with people to fly. I am a new pilot, BMAA qualified, flying an old Reflex wing and a Vortex Solo 210 motor. I will keep an eye on the forum and see if anyone is flying next week or the week after when I have a few days to spare. Pete - sorry about having a user name so similar to yours - just found out when I started browsing. If it is too confusing I will change it! Peter

Sorry if this is a repeat - had some problems with sending (my first post). I am a new PPG pilot and I fly an old wing made by Reflex, one of the first by the company that became Paramania. I love it. Feels really stable (especially compared to the PG wing I was flying on the hill today) and I love the hands off flying. Does anyone else have any experience with this Reflex wing? How does it compare to the new ones like the Fusion. Sooner or later I will want to upgrade my Paramotor wing. Although my focus will be PPG I was wondering if it really is possible to fly something like the Fusion without a motor as a paraglider. Might be useful to have one that I could use for both. Moving to the Swindon area soon - looking forward to joining the club and flying with some other pilots! Peter
