  1. Hi Paul,

    You might also want to check that the clunk in the tank is clean, it might be that it has some dirt n it that does not allow enough fuel at idle but as you increase RPM it increases the suction and works ok. I had it on another machine not too long ago.

    While your at it check for kinks in all the fuel and air hoses.

  2. Hi, I am a similar weight to you and I fly a speedster 30 and it is a great wing. Real easy to launch and really good glide rate.

    It might be available for sale if u are interested, pm me.

    I fly a Speedster 28 and find it real easy at takeoffs in nil wind and also kind of floaty when landing. I think there is a 33 in the Speedster so that could suit too!
  3. Hi,

    Glad you got it sorted, I suspect that as it was the first time I had fully dimantled it to sqeeze it into the the car with my new kit I must have either kinked it getting it to you or on reassembly.

    Either way I am glad you are happy with it. Keey up posted with pics / videos of your flights.

  4. Has anyone ever heard of a pilot being prosecuted for low flying?

    i hear lots of stories of it happening but have never come across anyone being fined for it.

    A local pilot in Sussex was fined £1500 plus court cost for low flying a local beach. So yes it does happen.

  5. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parajet-Baile ... 3cddc9b67a

    Only 40 hours Parajet V5 Zenith, 4 stroke paramotor, no need to mix two stroke oil. Start and runs perfectly and is a dream to fly. It is the custom green colour, it comes with a standard Helix prop which has had a few stone chips and has been repaired, it looks a bit tatty but functions perfectly. It includes the optional reserve pocket, I have sewn the zip shut to make sure it never accidently comes loose but is easily removed if required. The reserve is not included but can be negotiated if required. I have a brand new eprop available if you would prefer but this would be at an extra cost.

    This machine has been well looked after and has just had full service. It has done 40 hours and is 10 months old. It is used and has some minor marks, that you would expect with any paramotor.

    To buy this machine new today with the same options would cost in the region of £6400.

    I would prefer cash on collection or cleared bank transfer as the PayPal charges are high.

    It is advertised elsewhere and I reserve the right to remove it early.

    Any questions please call me, Barry on 07748986084

  6. Hi,

    I used silicone and it worked fine however I personally found that it detracted from the look quite a lot and wished I had not bothered.

    The next time I did it, I bought thin wire rope from B & Q and then got a chock block / electrical block ( dont know correct name) I undid the two screws and fed both ends of the wire right the way through and then tightened both screws on each end. I personally preffered this appreoach as it meant I could undo it easily and reapply without making a mess.

  7. Hi, I don't know what issues you are having. But I will share my experience if it helps.

    I read the NYC manual and it said to set the Trims to slow on launch, the problem I had was when I did that the wing would hang back and not come up cleanly on launch.

    The solution was simple ignore the manual and set the trims a bit faster. I.e. some where between -2 and 0. Rather than -5

    It then worked :)
