As I'm not flying yet I can't see the intricacies of what happed here. Was it a wing failure of some sort whilst down wind? I can see he'd just gone cross wind of the takeoff runway and was turning down wind. I can't see where the problem occured though. A steer would be useful (I don't fancy that list at the end when I do fly!) Tj

Is this something that we could be doing as an independent club? (I say we as I intend to join as soon as I'm ready to learn!) I'd be willing to test kit once I'm airborne as it gives flying a purpose. (I think I'd need this so it didn't get too routine.) Is this something you'd look at the club doing in future Simon? Cheers guys, Tj

If anyone does have back problems from paramotoring (or anything else for that matter) I know a great physio in Basingstoke who's very reasonable. Toodle Pip Tj

Check were the bain of my ife when I was military aircrew. It took me ages to learn them. But they stuck. So when we had a loss of hydraulic pressure one flight, I was glad I had been made to make the effort. Not like the Czech Loady I once met, smoking a fag in the cabin!!

Doesn't the wing string get burnt?!

Hi again, So, it is feasible to stow a bag to the aircraft? (In relation to the camping kit, I already have gore-tex from my own military days of yore!) Tj

The best way to learn: See one, do one, teach one. The more I see of the PMC the more impressed I am. Tj

That vid put me on cloud 9!

Weather?!

Hi guys, Sounds to me like Shaggy's a pretty big man for sharing his experiences. The old expression about old and bold and bags of luck and experience and all that springs to mind. The more of us that can share near misses and potential problems hopefully helps us learn. The best bit is that Shag's about and able to tell us. Now 'we' (I count myself as a potential) have to take something away. How many 'experienced' pilots always check weather, brief themselves and stick exactly to their plan on absolutely every flight? Anyhow, toodle pip. Tj

Hi all, YES YES YES!! This way I can afford to learn to fly, then fly occaisionally while I study, then when I'm rich (on the NHS!?) I can afford my own kit! Tj

Hi, how's the planning going? Unfortunately I won't be able to join you for '10, due to being on my paramedic degree. (Oh, and the small matter of not being able to fly (yet)!!) However, if you need an expedition paramedic after 2010, I'm your man! Tj

Hi Phil, How big was and more to the point how much did your kit weigh? Cheers, Tj

Hi all, I'm keen to do overnight XC, how does one go about attaching a small overnight bag to a rig? Hopefully it would be a daysack type bag. Cheers,

Hi, Is Stonehouse still in use? My folks live nearby & I'd love to come and chat to some active pilots. Have been interested in paramotoring since I read a magazine article on a train in '99! Cheers, Tj.
