Hi Simon, This is probably one of many 'out takes' from the Gourment Powered Paragliding DVD which is about a group of Americans on a Mexican Cross Country Adventure. At the moment this DVD is given free if you subscribe to the new Paramotor Magazine. The DVD is worth viewing on those frequent none Paragliding/Paramotoring days that we are getting at the moment. Fly with ya soon. Terry

Hi Simon, I hope you get well soon!!

Norman, Thanks for you prompt and informative reply. I certainly will be joining Simon in fitting a Strobe. Terry

Hi Simon, Im relieved that you are still with us and able to report this incident on the forum, to quote your words: "I had a close call from a light Aircraft. When I say close I mean 20 meters in front of me, banked fully over to the right in the air 20 meters at the converging speeds that we were both at was VERY VERY VERY close. The pilot must have been alseep." It could have been a different subject heading, other than 'Near Miss'. Obviously this incident compromised Rob's, Colin's and your safety. Is it subject to an Airprox report? (Maybe Norman could advise) If so, the Pilot of the light aircraft will be informed, if not already aware of this near miss. See Ya Soon Terry

Well done done Simon.You deserve it. See Ya Soon Terry

Hi Dave, Thanks very much for taking the time to reply so quickly. I've looked at the rpmppg.com site and it explains exactly what I wanted to know and a lot more to boot aswell, about the "Flat Top". It appears, that a lot of thought has gone into the construction, especially on the safety side. Fly safe Terry

Dave, I know what a Paramotor is. But could you please explain what a "Flat Top Paramotor"is and maybe compare it with a Parajet. I'm sure that I'm not the only one out there who's unsure. Cheers Terry

You can fly in the rain if you want to. But it's not a good thing to do. You will get wet, cold and miserable and probably want a pee in the loo. So we have to sit back and day dream, about flying high in the sky. Don't worry too much Slim, the rain will soon turn to steam and then back into the air, with your trusty ol'e machine. Fly Safe Terry

Hi Martin, I have followed your instructions and can now look at Normans track on the Standard GE. Cheers Terry

Hi Norman & Martin, I have the Standard Google Earth, (Free Download) and I can,t get any track overlay either. I have been told by other Paraglider Pilots that GE Plus is required. Norman, if your little bit of further research proves positive,please let me know how it can be done. I look forward to seeing you both soon at Lambourn. Cheers Terry

Hi Simon, Save a place for me, ......and Dawn Terry W

Morning Simon, The directions you gave are ok for lads & lasses with local knowledge of the area, but for mere mortals like me , could you give directions from a known reference point ie. the present takeoff/landing field and possible O/S Grid ref. Hope to see ya soon Terry

Great Idea Simon and a good quiz. How do we find out what questions we got wrong??

I'll have a couple Simon, it will be L or XL, depending on what manufacturer you choose.

Hi Simon, Please slot me in a place for the visit. Cheers Terry

Hi to Simon and Colin, It was good to see you both at Lambourn this afternoon and to chat about Paramotoring in general, as it was too windy for flying and ground-handling. I would also like to thank you both for the advice and final adjustments you made to my RAD throttle.it,s really spot on now. Cheers Terry

Hi Simon, Can you please confirm that the briefing is still on for 1300Hrs Sat.7th. Cheers Terry

Hi Simon, With regards to the route/landing area, can you tell me roughly where the nearest town, village or land mark will be to the landing area on Dartmoor.

Hi Simon, Yes!! I'll be there.Unless the weather beats us. Cheers Terry

Hi, To everyone who attended Lambourn yesterday. Although we didn't get to fly. well some of us did,( Rob's Kite) it was really great to meet most of you. Hope to see you all again soon and hopefully do some flying. Simon I would like to thank you for all your tremendous efforts over the the last few months in getting the Lambourn Paramotor Club 'nearly' up and running and for all the support to have given me and other as a newbie's to to Paramotoring. Hope to see ya soon Terry
