    Flymecc carbon paramotor

    Hello Cobra,

    I always power launch on forwards and i did ask about that at the stand when we where in France, on the video i power launched it.

    The cage is very rigid and i actually love the the way it packs into a bag this makes it fantastic for transport.

    Assembly and dis-assembly does not take that long its like anything the more you do it the faster you get. I must admit when i saw the video i thought the same as you and he does look a bit nervous maybe camera shy?.

    Simon, not a clue on that maybe a question for flymecc.

    Neil i notice you fly a macro i loved mine but when we went to the alps i had to do a bit of hill walking with it and it was not easy.

    The Flymecc full of fuel roughly weighs the same as the macro empty and this was a big factor in my decision to get one and also the stability of the engine temperature due to the water cooling.

    Only time will tell if i made the right decision but 3 flights in and all is well there is (and more than i thought) plenty of power the fuel consumption is better than i thought it would be oh and not having to hold the machine when warming it up is a bonus.

    Out of interest Neil how much fuel is your macro using mine averaged around 5 to 5.5 litres an hour my mates was less at 4.5 but he weighs less than me cheers Alan.

    Hi Alan,

    To be honest, I've not had a chance to work out fuel consumption....

    I've only had four flights, and they've all only been a quick blat around. I'm really hoping to build up my hours in 2011.

    Cheers, Neil.. :D

    New headset

    Avoid headsets with built in rechargeable batteries. They will let you down when you least expect it. To be able to change the battery in the field is a much better option IMO.

    A good point......But the rechargeable batteries in the Micro Avionics headsets are brilliant and seem to last forever!! I remember Simon pulling a MA headset out of the back of his trailer that had been used on the Skycar trip a year earlier, and hadn't been touched since....It still had charge in the batteries!! Most 2M radio's have rechargeable batteries - just remember to charge the headset at the same time.. :)

    All said in jest, I took the hint from Lees style ‘…after disclosing my, classified top secret, weight’.

    If you look I did comment on a good choice of kit, I fly a Dudek myself.

    All part of the ‘crack’ on this forum. If you like some adventure in your sport your not likely to be too hung up on your appearance IMHO. Live life :P

    Don't worry Alan, I was only joking!!.... :D

    Neil.. :D
