I find that i will drift to the right on that last bit of the flair i put it down to me being right handed never thought about the leg straps but i do find that its a bit less with the low hang point set up.

I've got one but it's wider my kids got me it for my b/day ideal for Paramotor use

I believe Pete Twizz did an excellent explaination in another post on the forum, but what I believe is that as a two stroke the prop acts like a flywheel and running without causes all sorts of timing issues etc

Ah it's all explained lol I noticed it yesterday and I scored 2 points for a reply it should be fun to watch

Ok heres my two pennies worth,I have been in this sport since 2006, Ive owned and flown a FT and to be fair a few others as well, i started out with a Walkerjet which is basically what the FT is a copy of (what came first Egg or Chicken Walkerjet or FT) IMO a FT is a copy of a walkerjet Super copied the design. Now I've seen the latest FT and its exactly the same as mine that i bought in 2008 nothing has changed maybe different engines but nothing else. Whilst back then they we're a worthy purchase the sport has moved forward fast and spectacular giving the pilot a vast and varied choice. The FT is an outdated design its heavy, robust, clumsy and basic its not the most comfortable machine to have on your back and even with the new lighter engines still a basic outdated bit of kit. As for the so called safety system (the well documented crumple zone) and the quick release harness (another super dated design) these are worthless and in no way useful or needed. I enjoyed my FT and at the time it was for me a great bit of kit (I'm a large type 120kg) it felt awful on my back it was clumsy it would clout the back of my legs whilst running on the ground cumbersome to be honest, at the time it was the best machine out there for me, but especially in the last couple of years the technology a parameter design has gone way beyond expectations and the market has so much more to offer better, lighter more powerful engines, as for paramotors the same stronger, lighter cheaper far better designs and so much more diversity and range. So reasons NOT to buy a FT are plenty look around listen to people for you at your weight, choice is plentiful, talk to your instructor go to some flyin's but whatever its worth i wouldn't buy another FT. Add to it the stigma of Super Dell (who I've had many on conversation with) and its just not a great option. Neilzy

Sold sorry

Carbon props make a much better job of slicing through the frame on a prop strike !!!!!!!

Just back from the Bore chaser and another super Flyin, for those who not attended a Flyin your missing one of the best flyin events, the atmosphere was fantastic I can honestly say what a great bunch of people everyone not just the pilots. As always Nigel's food & bar was open all hours supplying some super tasty food, fireworks in the evening and so so many pilots and partners attending a growing event we soon gonna need a bigger field lol. Many thanks to Gary for the cheeky little fly of his PJ trike and thanks to Simon & Col for putting it all together, although I think I said this about the last one "but it just gets better". Looking forward to seeing the Flyin video Simon was busily running round filming. Can't wait for the next one.
