No, when engine was new and spitting out oil i wouldn't use the engine to pull wing up, only rev up once wing was above me. Now engine is run in i can do power launches without fear of oil on the wing.
-
Mine was exactly the same when new, didn't do any adjustments just stuck with it. Now, after about 20hrs it' running fine and no oil spatters.
-
Yes it does and it works fine
-
Got 2, both wood. one brand new, other with very very minor repair. Merseyside area

Landing - to switch off or not to switch off...
slapper replied to davidreckitt's topic in General paramotor discussion
Always switch engine off, earlier the better, unless u want to touch and go, Land slightly faster than normal so u need a steadier flare, and as u'r flaring u will get a feel of which toggle u need to staighten up the landing before the deep stall for landing. (years of skydiving) -
Few of us North West flyers have got Mazda Bongo's with a bak-rak. 4x4, bed, cooker, beer fridge, ect. Can transport motor inside or on bak-rak, when parked up put motor on back, wing ect in lift up roof and u'v got ur home comforts.

apologies Alan, bit late and tired last night, got a bit defensive. Will look into it, only a small village, someone will know.

Load of b---licks, my house backs onto that microlight field and i fly from there. Your mis-informed.

Have always used Motul 800 since i started, have never had any problems. But have always mixed 50:1, why do you mix 70:1? is it due to Quality of oil or does your engine recommend 70:1.
