Dariuzk I fly a H&E120. I use a wooden prop. I have always used wooden props made by Aerobat in Spain. They supply H&E. My prop has 49 30 NR marked on it. 49 is the length in inches (that's 124.5 cm) 30 is the pitch, so it advances through the air by 30 inches in one rotation NR This means that it rotates clockwise when you stand behind the engine and observe the rotation. Hope this helps

Martinpa I have a H&E motor that is a lot like a Pap. Same here, with all my rough landings when I was a new pilot the engine droops down in the frame. I changed the rubber mounts and even this didn't make a difference so I cut out some fat rubber washers and put them on the bottom mounting bolts to tilt the engine up. I also took the engine off completely and bent the mounting lugs on the frame forward a bit. Finally a good flying buddy took pity on me. He worked on the frame on its own. He bolted a wooden form to the floor and with pulleys and some long levers bent it back into shape over it. He did it without putting a kink in the steel tubing. It all looked a bit drastic as I watched him but the result is a frame that is as good as new with same prop / frame clearance all the way round.

Poz Keep posting your vids. They are wonderful. Love the one with you and your friends messing about near Tarifa, you know with the truck going backwards. Thing is, that videos like these spur us on and some people even organize trips to the south of Spain. A group of us are going to Motril beginning of Oct.

In 'The Times' Magazine Sat. 6th May Parajet get a mention in the 'Style for Men' page. Short piece called '5 Reasons why we love... Zenith Parajet paramotor'.

Kevtin101 Why not put that money towards a training course where all the kit is provided. That way you get good training with excellent kit and get some time in the air. It will also give you a chance to try different kit ie. wings and how they handle, motors and how the feel on your back etc.

Is it legal for a Beach Warden to stop me flying off the beach at Brean or Weston super Mare. I don't understand how someone can own the beach if they have not actually bought it and have deeds to prove it.

Marko Did you ever sort out your starter. I spoke to Pierre the other day on Skype. Give him a bell and see what a starter motor costs. Why do you have the 220? Do you fly tandem? All the best Tony

I don't mind.

Excellent video Phil. Wonderful takeoff and superb landing. Brilliant for all possible future students to look at and enjoy - thinking 'I would like to do that'. Well done.

Dan Again a wonderful video. I loved the YouTube version with Tublar Bells.

Excellent News Now the thing is not to leave it too long before the next flight. With each flight you do from now on everything will become second nature to you. It's looking good. Tony Walsh

Well Done Neilzy This is super news . Now that you had the light feeling on the run you KNOW that it's doable. Well done and a big thanks to Matty. Don't wait too long before you go again. Tony Walsh

Poz Might be best to look up an insurance broker and get the 3rd party insurance. If you can't find a broker that can get you the cover you need then ask the Spanish pilots who their club/federation uses to provide cover and go directly to them. You could get cover from a company in the UK if it covers flying in Spain. All the best Tony
