If you don't keep trying Neil, I will post the video of you crying like a girl saying Nope I cant do it. Ground handling tomorrow fella, see ya there X

is it ever ok to fly without insurance?

We dont like Cumulonimbus

Dont knock Alicia man. One of her albums nearly works as well as a Tandem wing at getting the laydees lmao

This got me quite emotional. Its on vimeo so HD and a great soundtrack.

A certain Mrs Cath Neilzy Ryder has bagsied first circuit round the field. Bet you wanna teach me how much distance in between those spreader bars now Pete, you or someone maybe a bit closer will be getting a customer at some point then as i cant keep waking up next to this sort of thing...I'm sure a tandem wing will help!! [imghttp]

Hi Pete Thanks for your reply. Just wondering now if there is not a rating for tandem flying then how does anyone firstly teach it and secondly why is it I see many prominent/high profile pilots flying tandem? Should I be thinking Not many reply's to thread=Can of worms Thanks Simon

I'm just wondering how many pilots on here that fly tandem actually have a tandem rating or even a ppg rating. I've only got my bhpa pg rating and never done any formal training on the motors and to be honest without sounding like i know it all ( which of course i don't, so don't have a go at me) I pick things up rather quick and converted to flying with the motor with no problems. i would like to get some training for the tandem set up and of course fly first with an experienced tandem pilot. But of course the cost, availability of instructors locally and the time factor all point me towards just getting the gear and learning slowly with all the information and some other sensible pilots. if it was twenty years ago thats exactly what would be happening anyway and at least nowadays there is more info available and more pilots about to get good advice from. I see by the lack of response from this thread that not many want to stick their necks out and get crucified by anyone not agreeing. Fair play. But like i said its something that I would love to try and not just for the girls!

Looks like our site at Barling is just inside it Neilzy? you only need to file a flight plan if we are leaving the site though i think. just doing circuits is ok?

there is bound to be an unexpecting victim somewhere!

QUOTE from Alan.....Clearly none of the top UK pilots have heard of the K2 (or perhaps it is banned for being way too good ?) as they all seem to be opting for Dudek or Paramania Or the very precise and lovely Ozone wings. Ozone wings frickin awsome man!! (that is how to big them up isnt it?)

Hi All I have never taken anyone tandem before but would like to this summer. I have a pap ros 125 1400. My wing is definitely not big enough for tandem unless im taking a mouse up. I fly the ozone roadster 26 (very nice and stable by the way) i know i need the pap company system or similar. I weigh in at about 70kg when wet and only really want to take similar size people up ( girls;) ). My question is, do i need to get a tandem specific wing? Maybe the ozone magnum as that seems to be the tandem wing of choice for many pilots. Or could I use Neilzy's rather large Synthesis, forgotten what size you fly neil? Its a headache finding any info on tandem setups apart from the prices.

I'm up for that mate. The site can be seen from one of our vids on you tube. Bring on the dancing girls!

Just found this of M.Rouanet. Speed flying his 18sqm paramotor wing, without the motor and tandem! Genius

Here is an example of how much power/torque the flat tops have....ummmm

Just noticed part 2 is ready

woo hoo....now to sell mine

Hi. as your new i would say stay away from the fusion. and get some help. ozone are great wings. good luck simon

looks amazing Geoff. Looks like you had some great flying. See ya up there Simon

the roadster is fantastic apart from needing very deep brake pulls to turn at any decent rate. super stable nimble and quickish with trimmers out. comes up very smoothly but you have to keep the A's pulling all the way up for a good launch most times. a typical very stable ozone wing. cant wait for their new speedster if it ever comes out?

2m and airband are completely different or am i being a moron? 2m-no licence required? airband-licence needed? 2m for the likes of us and airband for microlights i thought.

looks niiiiiiiccccceee

Does the throttle cable affect it all. I had slight problems with mine not being routed properly. I found it twisted slightly and caused fluctuations in the warp core captain

Well with all this cafuffle I suppose I should bat back with a few thank you's, some sorry's, one or two sniggers and another eat my shorts lol I do fly safely most of the time but some times I do things that I look back on and think (normally after Neil or Matt say oooooo) that was maybe a tad too dodgy and reckless. It might be the 10 pints of stella or the crack cocaine, I don't know. Love ya Neil and all other lovers of life and fanny. Yes that includes you matt you gay X

sick and wrong
