  2. Neilzy do you deal direct with EC in Poland? Someone I know is looking for a Frame,Prop & cage Parts and I was told you were the guy to ask.
  3. Hi The Ecextreme Moster was my 6th paramotor( 2nd Ec) to own The Ecextreme Moster is a light,reliable and powerfull machine But the frame & cage looks and feels like it would not take any knocks however light; I would not recommend the Ec it to anybody just starting out in Paramotoring. I flew mine for 120 hrs with no problems then got the chance to demo a Bulldog Moster,straight away I could see that a lot of thought had gone into its design and build quality, it was just as light as the Ec (24kg dry)but with a reserve and 15ltrs of fuel it carried the weight better. The Ec Harness only came in one size XL and did feel a bit sloppy but wasnt a problem,the Bulldogs Harness is adjustable and would suit a small,medium or XL pilot quite happily The Frame & cage on the Bulldog is very strong and you will notice that many instructors are using the Bulldog as a School machine. The Cage netting on the Ec is minimal and you could easily put your hand through and contact the prop,but with the Bulldog the netting has smaller squares so its virtually impossible to put your hand through.Both machines strip down easily, the Ec cage is a 3 part and has its own carry bag.The Bulldog cage is even smaller and fits neatly into a small tool roll size bag.The Bulldog will fit easier in a car http://s622.photobucket.com/albums/tt31 ... =slideshow Both have a quick release fuel tank but a quick release link on the fuel line would have to be fitted to the Ec. Both machines are very easy to start on your back but with the added Bungee cord on the Bulldog makes it even easier and the way the fuel delivery is setup it makes for easy starting in mid-air. So the Bulldog is now my 7th Paramotor at present I have no plans on changing it. I have flown both High or low hang points paramotors,clutch driven or direct drive Paramotors,but that is not the issue,I am now flying a Paramotor that schools are teaching students to fly with ,But I have done 100s of hours Paramotoring ?..........

  5. Hi The Farmer in question no longer flys paramotors from his fields nr Burnham . Your best bet would be Uphill to the left of where the kite surfers hangout,but do check with the wardens first,if they are about

  18. Dave I came from free flying into paramotoring and learnt on a high hang point machine, then i moved on to the Pap Ros 125 lower hang points because a lot of other PPG Pilots (ex free flyers) said it was the way to go. As my flying progressed and many fantastic hours flying the ROS, I had the chance to demo a machine but it was back on high hang points, to my surprise it was a remarkably easy transition,the groundhandling wasnt a problem,but what I did notice was that it seemed much more stable in rougher conditions,which stretched my comfort zone and I was now flying in more challenging air. Since that demo flight I havn't looked back,I have owned/own 3 higher hang point machines since the ROS. I have flown the BULLDOG like you say it ticks most of the boxes but You,like many others just have to get your head around the hang point issue. The BULLDOG is definately worth a demo flight if you get the chance. Its probably going to be my next investment BUT I know I will just have to join the queue. Paul
