Hi All,

Beware!!! Yet another postal scam. Below is a copy of an e-mail I have just received from a Paragliding Buddy.

Postal Scam - Can you circulate this around especially as Christmas is fast approaching; it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following scam:

A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 0906 6611911 (a premium rate number). DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize . If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £15 for the phone call. If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 02072396655

Cheers

Si.

Well done.

Cheers

Morning Simon,

What a nice little article that has been published on page 19 in Feb-March 2008 issue of Paramotor Magazine. (Which arrived this morning) To introduce the Tip to Tip 2008. Well done.

Shame about the Photo though.

Cheers

Terry

Nice one Si

TW

Gentlemen!!

Thanks for your informative replies.

Terry

Simon.

My reply, was in to reply to what I read on Geoffs Post,

There was no mention of wind speeds or heights/wind gradients or flying a Reaction Wing. I didn,t have my crystal ball.

I know the Mojo is a generally used as a DHV1 Paragliding Wing , but it is still certified for Paramotoring. Why should Ozone do this?

Because it can't fly as fast and penertrate wind as well as other Wings it doesn't make it 'no good with a motor' (Your Quote).

Hence my quote..

So in defence of the Mojo, in my opinion it is a very good Decent all round wing.

I've know doubt that if I fly the Mojo with my Paramotor it will also be slower with less wind penetration for me aswell.

All I was doing in my previous reply was giving a little input to Geoff and defending the Mojo.

Cheers

Terry

Yes. Well Done Geoff!!

But keep your Mojo, until you want to fly in stronger winds and/or keep up with the others using 'Faster wings'

(no technical jargon in this reply)

I,ve been flying a Mojo for more that two years in this Country, France, Slovenia to name a few.

It's taken me on some great 'Paraglidinding' XCs flights in lots of various types of winds conditions with no problems. Yes, its been a little slower and with less wind penetration that the other wings that I've been flying with.

As you are aware, this is a wing for beginners and stress free flying and is certificated for Paramotoring and Towing.

So in defence of the Mojo, in my opinion it is a very good Decent all round wing.

I do fly a Dudek TST Reaction for Paramotoring as I like to have a wing for both differenf sports.

Cheers

Terry

Hi James,

Welcome to the forum, it was good to meet you the other day down at the airfield.

I enjoyed our little chat about flying, I'm sure that when the lads 'n' lasses local to you, read your post, they will introduce themselves and you can all exchange landing/take-off locations.

I'm pleased that you enjoyed you flight, especially flying that silky air at 1,500ft above the inversion.

Cheers

Terry

Hi Slim,

It was good to see you again today with the added bonus of seeing your maiden flight. Once again I like to say 'Well done Mate'

Cheers

Terry
