    Cheers for that guys, i know air law should be the same but its good to get advice from locals, yea and the weather seems to be better up there more often than here according to my relatives, and checking out the vids scenery is superb, i just didnt appreciate it when lived there but do know some lovely places to fly. Spoke to my sister from island of tiree and she said they have someone flys on the island quite often during the year but does not live there all year. Maybe he is on this forum.

    Stu Are there any particular issues with flying in Scotland that you have found that i should be aware of. I'm thinking of heading of to Oban and then Tiree on the west coast this summer, (im from there) but have never flown in scotland before,any help advice would be appreciated..

    tried go pro support three times, no reply but see there are hundreds of people with problems , thanks for thought though

    Thats why i wanted it, sold my hd go pro as i wanted to mount the camera in the wing etc as that footage looks superb and the remote and phone app would have been superb. Will have to wait and see if £340 plus led touch back pack is any good or a waste of money. Another crap point is i aint flying with this weather anyway . never mind a new year coming and it all can only improve, hopefully

    Anybody out there got a go pro 3 for christmas without problems, I got the black and after about 5 mins with it it now wont turn on or do anything, if anybody thinking about them i wouldnt bother untill they get them sorted as on all the forums they seem to be having major problems with them at the moment.

    Gordon I was looking for for this as well ( Halfors had a labled space on shelf (empty) but as you said they didnt seem to know it had been discontinued and it now doesn't show up on their website either and from what i can make out castrol have stopped making this and are recommending using the power 1 instead (searched on web for tts). Not much help but its all i could find out. Donnie

    hi guys Does anybody have an opinion on Advenure paramotors, I am very new to paramotoring (in fact have never flown yet and will be starting ground handling soon)and was looking about and saw they had what i thought was quite a good deal on their wing and paramotor and harness packages The one i was thinking about as i am 105kg was the M4 and the 34 meter premium wing but when i added the weights up thought that might be close to the mark but was wondering if anybody had any dealings with them and what they thought of their gear cheers

    Didn't notice that one but after all the help i have had and advise would be well protected with safety gear.

    Thanks for the help and advise guys, i've got the helmet and windspeed meter from my powerkiting hobby and will wear it when handling the wing for sure.\\will take the advise and only take the wing out in >10mph winds as i know what its like to be dragged down a field with my larger powerkites. cheers for all your help guys Donnie

    Thanks for the advise but i was only looking to spend a couple of hundred on the ground wing (just looking for one that would only be used for ground handling and will never be used for flying again) so not to damage the one i will eventually fly with. The harness you showed looks like it would do the job for now, will have a chat with the guy who is teaching me. thanks again for the advise Donnie

    Hi Guys I'm just taking my first tentative steps into the world of paramotoring and was after a cheap ground handling wing to practice on. I think I would need a large one as i am 105kg and have been flying power kites for a while (4m to 10m) so have a slight idea what to expect. Any advise on whether to buy the harness I would keep or just to get something to practice on now would be appreciated. Thanks Donnie.
