Bob..

Yep I have used one on my miniplane

The 4's

Makes ground handling a lot easier

has cruise control

If you do a face plant with engine on you don't jam the throttle into the ground(not that I have ever done that)

The against

Can make your finger ache

difficult to kill the motor with same hand.

but all in all not bad for the money and Gérard who makes them is a good guy.

There is a wireless throttle about now as well.

Bob..

I purchased a Go Pro Wide from dogcam just the other day and I had a light issues as well

so sent it back and paid the extra for the Contour HD and found it a lot better.

Bob..

Great Pics that shark looks huge (make note don't go swimming down there)

I got my 38 Miles in using just under half a tank, well impressed by the range of the miniplane with Syth 31

Bob..

Nice write up thanks for sharing, hoping to do a 35 mile round trip tomorrow with a landout at a mates field.

Still waiting for the pics from your first sortie, especially the shark

Bob..

Looks like fun to me

That looks great can you point me in the direction of the vid or pics please

Bob..

Sounds about right

but he didn't come back alone

My friend knows the guy involved 'Bob', an experienced paramotor pilot who has been on TV (fifth gear test of the new scirocco) - Apparently the heli landed and had a chat about his paramotor, no further action to be taken. Ive pointed him in the direction of this thread

The video quite clearly says 'Oh dear, Steve gets a police escort'. So where does Bob come in?

There have been loads of complaints re low flying along the coast from Hastings to Brighton, particularly about PPG pilots buzzing the public low along the beaches. Nearly every time I land out on the Newhaven-Brighton run, I get complaints. The CAA have been informed, and will take miscreants to court if sufficient proof is provided. While the mysterious 'Bob and Steve' may not have seen the NOTAMS, they sure as hell should know about the 500 foot rule. There is someone who regularly launches from the southern end of Telscombe Tye and annoys the public by illegal low flying. Is he Bob? Is he Steve? Or someone else?

Get your act together guys; it's cool to buzz the beaches, and I know I'd be tempted myself, but it's illegal, and your day in court will come, and the result won't just be a telling off...

That was our first flight in your area and in the 2 to 3 years we have flown in our area not one complaint.

we get lots of people asking questions and we go out of our way to show them all the kit. hearts and minds

it pays to be friendly.

Hello All

It was me and my lad who strayed into the NFZ

Our flight was from Telescombe to Beachy Head and return which was a great flight, after a cup of tea we decided on a quick trip down to the mariner and back.

Did Not check NOTAMS (lesson learned)

the Police were fine, just a friendly chat and a look over the hardware on his helicopter.

But apologies anyway

If someone came over to my turf and did the same I would be pissed as well

Bob..
