    Well what can i say since 11-12-09 i have had 9 flights totaling 11 Hrs , one of them was for 2 hrs and my heated gloves went dead after 40 mins and the return leg was a battle to conserve body heat ie visor down , flight deck lid up sat scrunged up in my seat shivering ,covering 45 miles .

    I set of with 12 ltrs and landed with 3ltrs ,winter flying is great if you can handle the cold :D

    Hi Steve

    after 85 hrs of use have you thought about the fuel filter inside the tank ( It may clog up and the vacuum it causes may find a week point in your fuel line and draw air in causing your engine to run lean and cut out through fuel starvation)

    hope this helps

    Mark :D

    Or a big breasted girly who says nothing ;-)

    Well I suppose she could have her mouth otherwise "occupied" but you can't beat a screamer or so I am told.

    I liken a girl to a carpet, lay it right the first time and you can walk all over it for years, I hope my wife does not read my posts.

    And if any ladies read these comments I am only joking. (my wife is glaring at me now so I am off).

    :D I liken a girl to my new Fusion wing , easy to pull up and you can ride her for ages :D:roll::roll::wink: LOL

    :D a nice steady wind 4 mph SSW for 12 months with no rain and an average temp of 18 degrees so its not to hot to take of and pleasant to fly in at a 1000 ft :) ( I wish)

    And for all PPG Pilots to have the time of their life in the air and fly safe :D

    HI Fanman

    when i first started flying i would fill up with 5 ltrs and fly for 25 minutes knowing i had 1 and 1/2 hrs flight time, as i have got to know my equipment better i now fill up with 9 ltrs of fuel and land with 1 to 2 ltrs left in the tank depending on how much i clime up and down

    we all have a comfort zone which we try to fly in and the the more you fly the more you have the confidence to control the situation you find your self in :D

    Happy flying

    Mark :D

    All,

    WELCOME NORTHERN FOLK, WE COME IN PEACE!!

    a light aircraft lands out two fields from where I'm staying and takes of an hour later and then this,

    communication between the two halves of the country i look forward to a happy merge of the both to conquer this imaginary divide

    the only thing that separates me from the south is the humber bridge and iv flown over that :P

    Pie Eating vs Rate Of Climb (newbie) Wing Question

    Hi Skiesnpies

    this is my first flight with a Apco Thrust HP medium and an A X B Hawk ,the clime rate was good for me i weighed 10.5 stone at the time

    now i weigh 12 stone ( lots of pies for me LOL) and have a Macro with the same wing and my climb rate is about 350 ft -400 ft (approx) on 3/4 throttle) and I have never used full throttle.

    Here's a vid with the Macro

    as you can hear from the engine I back the throttle of as I take of as I don't need all that power ,but you may need to go up a size for your weight (check it out before you buy) or try before you buy :!:

    Regards Mark :)

    I wish this weather would break :(

    I only manage to fly at weekends and this month I have only managed 2hrs

    On the 4th I got 1hr in and had to avoid a rain cloud on the way back to T/O site,

    and on the 25th I had my 3rd flight with the Winterton paramotors(Terry & Glyn) and flue over a steam traction rally which was nice to see something going on bellow ( have a look on You Tube at Winterton Paramotors 5 & 6 for my previous flights with them )

    I wish this weather would break

    mark :)
