Thanks guys. 10ft...can't miss an opportunity to foot drag a deserted stretch of beach As for the coffee...no I didn't stop on that occasion but I did brave Snowdon later in the week to see the terain by foot from the cafe. I wouldn't have flown over it if I had done that first Now I know connect-garmin works I will do some 8 mile circuits on the different Speedster settings & post them in the same way. That way there should be no arguments about speeds, just need the darn wind to drop. Happy flying.

I spent a few days in N.Wales the other week. I plucked up courage to fly directly over the top of Snowdon (marked by the cafe at the top of the mountain) . Also did a 70 mile flight through the Llanberis pass and up the coast. Rather than explain it I have attempetd to post the track up load from my garmin via the connect-garmin web site. I am not sure if the e-mail share link works when posted on a forum(can't suss out how to do it otherwise) . Can other people without a connect-garmin account see the map, track, speed (average speed line) and distance graphs from this link:- http://connect.garmin.com/activity/9895 ... Eqgo.email If it works I have just got my new Speedster 28 & will post the circuits to show average speeds on the various settings ( when the wind stops blowing on the East Coast). Musn't forget a big thanks to Paul Haxby (AXB Sports) for organising the trip and advice on routes to fly

Michel's observation may be correct but for the wrong reason. It was released for ordering in April & following a demo on a 26 in mid April I decided to order a 28. I was informed it wont be delivered until mid July so I suspect no ones got one for competiton yet. Hardly any Youtube vids either. I am not a competition flyer & just love to go for as long a flight as possible. A Bailey 4 stroke (V4) means I generally fly 2-3 hours. I have flown a Reaction since I started 3 years ago & having tried other wings found the Speedster very responsive & fast without speedbar which fits my needs. Instead of a 60-70 mile round trip I hope to do 80-90miles. I also fly low level along in the ditches ( we call them dykes in the Fens) which requires precise flying. Whether its good enough for competition flying would not be my call but I know it was much easier to do the clover leaf slalom & dyke fly compared to my Reaction. Paul C

Got round to downloading the log from the Ozone Speedster. Yes it was back wind & the wing was only a 26 & I need a 28. At log 132 is the top speed of 92km/h. As you say Richard "unbelievable". Bad news despite ordering in Mid April my Speedster 28 wont be delivered until mid July. 35 19/04/2011 17:50 -8 m 1 m 00:00:20 0.3 km/h 145° true N52 43.307 E0 05.519 36 19/04/2011 17:50 -9 m 74 m

I got to try the new Ozone Speedster 26 at Bailey’s Cambridgeshire site on Wednesday after hearing & reading the hype. At 85kg body weight & flying the Bailey V4 the 26 should have been a bit small for my all up weight. Mr Bailey made it extra challenging by organising thermic conditions at his field with the none existent breeze constantly shifting for my mid day take off. Despite his comment that he had never seen me make a decent take off or landing (thanks Paul ) I managed a forward launch. Riser set up is pretty standard. Trimmers are easily let out by pressing the release. The wing dives slightly if you let them out too quick and turns quite a lot if you let one trimmer fully out at a time(compared to my Reaction) . The brakes are parked on magnets & are easy to grab & attach. The tip steering toggles are also magnetic but they are held by an elastic attachment that results in automatic return to the magnetic parked position when you let them go ( a real nice feature). The tip steering is quite high compared to my Reaction but makes it ideal to hold brakes & tip steering at the same time. Guess this will be good for the competition pilots of which I am not. Speed was very difficult to measure due to thermic conditions. Flew 51.5 miles in 72 minutes (average speed 42.9mph , 68.4kph). Mostly flown trimmers off with about 5 miles full speedbar. I read some speeds off my sat nav at 2500 ft (out & return legs) but conditions where still to thermic to make flying level easy. That said results are below. Trimmers at take off setting (which is not the slowest setting) averaged 26.5mph (42.6kph). Trimmers off 38.5mph (62kph). Speedbar 46.0 mph (74kmh) Surprisingly I was only losing 50ft / min on full speedbar which means I should be very comfortable on a 28. Having tried the small & medium Apco Force last August I would have needed a large to keep level flight on full speedbar. At 4500ft it was time to play. The tip steering is amazing & the wing turns on a sixpence with just small inputs. Large inputs put the wing into a tight spiral. Pulling the trimmers in and trying some alternate brake turns soon pushed me beyond my comfort zone and I was getting back into turbulent air. Dropping down to my home landing site NW of Wisbech it was apparent there was a very strong sea breeze ( turned out to be 17mph) & the air was rough but the wing behaved impeccably & landing was as good as I have ever done in high winds. I had lunch & waited 4 hours for the seabreeze to drop. At 6pm I decided I could wait no longer, reversed launched in 15 mph wind & climbed out of the turbulent air with no worries. At 1500 ft things settled down & I flew the 30.5 miles in 42 minutes (44.1mph). With speedbar for a short stretch I reached a top speed of 56mph (90kmh), my fastest ever. Speed appears to be all its reported to be but they have definitely undersold its handling & the particular finesse of the tip steering. So did I order one……..Yup I certainly did . Should receive it in the next 4 weeks. Happy Flying this Easter Fergus

Took delivery of my new Bailey V4 200 on Friday. Spent yesterday wiring in heated gloves & fuel sensor & doing hang test for speed bar set up. To my surprise the new Bailey easy start system comes as standard. Never seen anything start so easy on an electric start. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Just need some decent weather to get some flying in now.

I was walking on Hunstanton beach (Norfolk) on Monday afternoon with the family when a tandem paramotor flew over ( orange wing possibley Ozone ). None of the local paramotorist's know who it is. Any ideas as I may have some business for them

Hi Mark, He already gave me a call. Can't find any stats on the new Speedster, its not on the Ozone website. So far I like the Force best ( light handling, particularly the tip steering & fast) but have the Nucleon & Speedster to test yet. I'll let you know what I go for. best regards

Hi Oilyrag, Is the new Plasma that good your giving your Reaction away ? Awaiting delivery of my new Bailey 200 ( hopefully next week). I will be on the wing testing circuit looking for the next step so may give you a call best regards Paul C

I am 136kg all up inlcuding full fuel tank. All flights where using this weight. The weight against each wing is that which the manufacture has stated as the max weight range in their technical data. The speeds are in order:-trimmers on, trimmers off, and full speed bar. Hope that clears up any confusion.

Gary I have to agree with your comments. I have been flying a Reaction for over 2 years /80hrs on a Bailey 175 4 stroke ( now have a Bailey 200 on order). I tested the wings below on the 175 to compare speeds over reverse legs along a railway line to ensure average speed was correct. The Force certainly stands apart from my Reaction & the Fusion in its very light handling and responsiveness in the air. For me it gave by far the best experience when flying low to the ground. What I hadn't appreciated was the difference in climb rate (sink on full speed bar !) is important for me when doing cross country which is my thing. Wing Size Manuf. Trim on Trim off Full weight mph mph S.bar Reaction TST 29 130kg 26.4 28.8 37.8 Level flight at full speed bar, full revs. Apco Force Small 140kg 32.0 33.9 45.2 Losing 420 ft / min full speed bar full revs Apco Force Medium 165kg 28.8 30.5 38.9 Losing 150 ft / min full speed bar full revs Paramania Fusion 29 Large 160kg 26.6 27.6 35.9 Losing 50 ft / min full speed bar full revs I am planning to test the Nucleon before making a final decision & also need to see how much extra climb I get from a Bailey 200 verses my old 175.

I managed a couple of hours flight yesterday but one of my heated gloves has packed up (managed to keep it warm by tucking it behind my front mounted reserve). The heated gloves I use are the Klan lycra under gloves. I haven't been to impressed with them & I am thinking about leather heated glove replacements. I will run them of the paramotor battery rather than seperate battery pack. Does anyone have any good experiences of leather heated gloves & if so whats the make & model Thanks

Hi Doc, The CAA stated its intention to remove the 10 litre rule from Article 155 back in July 2009. The link to the letter on the CAA website is http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/1885/20090703 ... Intent.pdf The Air Navigation Order which would incorporate the change has recently been reissued as ANO 2009 but the change to the definition of a self-propelled hang glider as indicated by the Letter of Intent was not included. According to CAA Policy makers it is expected that the amendment will be incorporated at the next change to the ANO which is due to be approved in early April 2010. The interpretation section is now Article 255. So if you are doing the trip in the summer fuel load may not be an issue. Equipment ( motors & wings ) are influenced very much by who teaches you. However if XC is to be your thing its definately worth considering a 4 stroke as fuel usage is so much better than 2 strokes and there's no messing about with oil when landing out to refuel. Its worth reading the article in this months edition of Paramotor Magazine which gives a balanced view of the pros & cons of reflex wings. XC flying can mean changes in conditions for many reasons and a stable reflex wing has certainly given me confidence to keep flying through turbulent conditions even if the buttock clenches don't seem to get any less. As for fuel gauges I have found this really frustrating. I couldn't find a fuel guage that satisfied my requirements on any paramotor forums and most don't seem to bother. But it bothers me & I have spent a lot of time researching on the web. Fuel flow sensors would have been the best solution but the relatively low flow rates means they are generaly laboratory type products. I spoke to many manufacturers and all felt the pulsing of the fuel to the carb would create inaccuracy of +/- 5% which is 0.5 litres adrift on just 10 litre fuel. I have finally plumped for a fuel sensor (gauge) which I take delivery at the end of this month. It sences fuel every 2mm so I should be able to see a 1% change in fuel. It has a nice little display which will sit alongside my sat nav. I will get Paul Bailley to produce me a retangle fuel tank rathar the tapered tanks as this will mean a 2mm drop in fuel level is the same at the top as at the bottom. The only downside is the cost and think many would bulk at what I have been prepared to pay. Hope the attempt goes well. If you are ever near the Wash give me a shout.
