  1. Hi Richard Jump aboard and enjoy yourself,we're all going to. Pete b
  2. All day do if its flyable as we can have the meeting anytime during the day. Meetings like this do tend to last longer than you think as people bring up questions that others have not thought of. Pete
  3. If time allows and all is right we will fly there oh what a sight
  4. Hi Thijs I have flown both non reflex (Eagle Genie 80 hours approx) and reflex (Reaction 120 hours approx) The Genie was a good wing that needed hands on flying (just in case) had some collapses and did siv goes in to collapses and comes out with no great worries ( except when you spin it and tumble 3000 feet, but thats another story) Reaction I always fly hands off except for take off and landing. I have flown in VERY turbulent conditions (my fault)with wing tips folding but just let the reflex do its job when it got really rough I went to full speed bar and that seamed to make it more stable. I will allways fly under power with the trims out and hands off. Pete b but then thats just me.
  5. Berkshire Bombardiers Pete b
  6. Hi Terry Some say that you should use it in a couple of days some a couple of weeks. I have used fuel that has been in the can for about 3-4 months with no problems ,except for maybe a slight drop in power but hardly noticable Pete b
  7. Hi Simon Just to say that I'm more than happy with the charities you have suggested. To all others This trip will only be possible with the ground crew, If you are considering doing this then please do as this is more important than the flying. You can drive the route without the pilots BUT the pilots CANNOT fly the route without you. Pete b
  8. Hi Simon is there anyway we can link them so when you log on to your site we can access the others?? Pete b
  9. Who is the weather guru that can find out when would be the best time of year to do this ie wind direction / strength and other conditions? 4 motors the same would be ideal but I cant afford to buy another yet 4 wings the same lent for the trip Dudek synthes would be nice. Good promotional advertising for them? Camping would be better as you would have no wasted time traveling to and from landing /takeoff field(assuming we could camp in the field)pros and cons please. Additional routes would need to be planned in advance to allow for flying cross wind if the needs arise. All pilots should be comfortable taking off and landing in up to 15 mph winds also in reasonable bumpy conditions(but not dangerous conditions) Comments please ps Im in YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ROCK AN ROLL BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very interesting. Now you got me thinking how many could do this all together???????????? Pete b
  11. Hi Dave NO The 28 day rule applies to ALL your land Pete
  12. Yea he is up around Norfolk somewhere but is not on any of the forums. If you go on the lemmings forum someone on there may be able to help more. http://www.paramotoruk.com. Pete b
  13. Last I heard about 4 months ago was that Jabba may not put it in to full production ???? Pete
  14. It must be foot launched ie wheels can be used to support weight but, without using your legs to support the rest you can not take off. yes it is completely legal and above board to land on wheels only. Pete b
  15. When landing wait untill you think it is to late and then flare. No problem Pete b
  16. It was about 3 and a half years ago that I went to the doctor as I would wake up in the mornings feeling more tierd than when I went to bed. The doctor asked me what I did and how I relaxed so I told him, work 7 days per week for about 14 hours each day and that was about it. Anyway after a good chat he said that I had OCD (obcesive compulsive disorder) WHAT but aint that where people keep washing thair hands all the time, well yes he said but in your case you are working all the time and even when you go to sleep your mind keeps thinking of the things you have to do tommorrow (yes correct give the man a carrot). The result of this was that I had to find some me time so as I looked in to hang gliders many years ago I started to look at it again but the down side was traveling 45 miles to the nearest hill. OY NO. PARAMOTORING rears its head, fits in the van, easy and quick to set up and pack away, no need to travel far, so ep off the hill then on to the motor, Thats about it realy now I prefer to fly with others and distance does not come in to the eqation so thats why I come down to simons to fly with others and for the social side as I get nearly as much out of meeting up and chatting as I do out of flying, ps still working to much but you gota pay the bills. Pete
  17. Thats not me Chris, I never fly that low, well only when Im landing or crashing. I think youll find that was Papa Bravo. Buncey Roger that Papa bravo clear
