    Icaro Helmet choice

    in Other

    Posted

    Yellow/orange visors block blue colours so enhance contrast between sky and clouds. Your eyes/brain soon adjust and you are just aware that the day looks bright.

    Other than a neutral tint, it would be my number one choice for flying.

    What if the day is really sunny and bright. Is this type of visor still suitable?

    Sorry if these are dumb questions, it's just that I'm used to eye protection that makes everything darker, not brighter

    Look on Ebay

    in Paramotors.

    Not taking sides here, as I don't know both sides of the story.

    However, generally speaking, there is nothing more frustrating than recieving poor service from a manufacturer or retailer and having no power to be heard........until now!

    I love the way the internet allows one voice to be heard by many.

    I'm sure that ultimately this is a good thing all round as it encourages better quality manufacturing, better after sales service and backup and should weed out the good from the bad sellers and in the long run IMHO will help the economy to recover.....maybe :|

    For a small company operating within a tiny, fledgling community who really listen to each other, this is a nightmare situation.

    On the other hand, the reverse is so when good service is given ie 'Parajet service' topics.

    It's not rocket science.

    btw I don't own either a Bailey or a Parajet, so I am impartial and am speaking in general terms....observing from a distance....Southern Spain :wink:

    I think that sometimes people get carried away on Ebay. I had seen this item and was following it, but it ended up going for more than I paid Icaro on the website that Tom bought his from. What's more, when I asked to pay more for an upgrade to the Peltor Optime III they sent me the following reply:

    Dear Daniel,

    Ok, we will put the OPIII without applying you any extra cost…I think you appreciate.

    You will receive the tracking number as soon as we are ready with the shipment.

    Best regards,

    Gipsy

    OUTSTANDING :!::D:D

    Thanks for the recommendation Tom

    Just a idea but if you wanted to improve the standard Peltor ear defenders that come with the helmet then you could get a set of Peltor Optime III ones from eBay for 10-15 quid.

    These will clip straight in to the helmet fixings, it was initial budget restrictions that made me wait for the headset but I dont think it's any fun if you go and buy it all at the start! It's half the fun looking what kit you want to get next :-)

    Tom :acro:

    Have just emailed them to see if they will upgrade to the Optime 3.

    Thanks Tom

    I definitely agree with the accessory project :D . Hours on t'internet

    I sent a message to this seller asking for clarification on whether this wing is 'New' as advertised or used, as indicated in description.

    In his reply he admitted that he isn't actually sure how many hours the wing has flown :?

    I guess it's not New then!

    It really pisses me off when ebayers mis-lead like this :evil:

    Apco Force or Revo 2 ?

    Quite right too...........

    I tried and tried for ages to get a test flight on a fusion.....and in the end bought it on the reviews......I will never do that again....lesson learnt the hard way....

    I should have bought the 23mtrs as it would have been that more nimble..I find the 26 a bit Dull

    and as a result still fly my old wing far to often.....as its much more dynamic wing.................. dont get me wrong its a good wing its just that its not suited to me.......so please despite any temptation to buy before you fly............. DONT

    ps... any body want to buy a fusion 26 with super low hours

    What's your all up weight Gary?

    And how much d'you want for your fusion?

    Is it always + and - ? If the error is always reading high the it could well be elipsoid error due to the model assuming a perfectly sperical earth. modern GPS have elipsoid error corrected and since the removal of selective availability are surprisingly accurate in their altitude readouts.

    Yeah that sounds about right, because when I use my GPS196 next to it, it shows pretty much accurate altitude.

    It's a shame because my 196 is double the size.

    Thanks for that Fanman

    In these days of super duper powerful motors with crazy power to weight ratios it is quite possible to have a stalled wing with forward momentum so perhaps you might want to rethink how cocksure you are in your reply Luke. Learning this game requires two key things... a guide who can communicate effectively and a student who knows how to listen.

    Regards

    Fanman

    (just enough hours to know a little bit about this game but still learning all the time)

    cocksure replying. how many hours is abit? and can you do a power launch and land useing power?and more hours a pilot has the better.and when in take off made your gaining height or trying to .bring your hands down will cause a collapse.so with the time and experience you bring your hands up so wing will come forward perviding these no rotor in front of you . ok cock man

    Sorry Luke, I simply cannot understand what you just wrote. Therefore I don't know if you have a point or not.

    Could you please clarify.

    Thanks

    Dan

    ps I don't have any hours :D ,..... but as with anything I am really interested to learn from anyone with a good, non-aggresive attitude, who knows more than me :D

    Camera which one and why

    I got the TZ7 too. Great camera but darned if I can find any software that will edit the AVCHD video and keep it in HD.

    Any ideas anyone!

    Hi Malcs

    I played around and was dissapointed with all, until I found Cyberlink Power Director. It's really good.

    Although not paramotor related, I have just done a quick edit job on the video I took at my daughter's Sports Day. It will give you an idea of the results.

    It's very easy to use.

    This footage was taken on my Panasonic Lumix FT1, which is the tough waterproof version of the TZ7. Same AVCHD Lite format:

    Hope this helps.
